I'm sorry but denial is no friend of mine.

Once the rose colored glasses come off, they stay off.

I've given sound logical reasons for why I think as I do and they're not being truly addressed.

I'm gettng the same response of "let's just think positive thoughts and you'll be fine and dandy" or I am "warped".

So the severe teasing (verbal attacks on my appearance) in my youth had nothing to do with my looks?

The rude comments I still get to this day have nothing to do with my looks?

The fact that no woman has ever touched me, much less expressed interest in me has nothing to do with my looks?

You know, if we were in a court of law presenting our cases (myself against you guys), it wouldn't take long at all for the jury to to decide. I've presented my case with specific examples of concrete evidence to support and back it up as opposed to general psychological theory and wishful thinking which doesn't take in to account individual limitations and is also based on the "assumption" that life is fair and that experiencing physical love with another is some how a given. People are so afraid to question these things.

Denial ain't just a river in Africa.

Please don't take this the wrong way.

I love the fact that you cared enough to want to help and please don't ever forget that. You should know this is appreciated.

I just have to face the fact that I have a handicap which limits what I can experience in life. I don't look forward to the rest of what's left of life and I grow more and more depressed now but what is IS.
