I have had only boyfriend where I live. But he dumped me. However, I do have a boyfriend but it's a long distance relationship. I have difficulty socialising with people so I use the internet to chat to people. I have felt like no one will love me but I guess I was wrong.

I'm 23 and never been in a relationship. I've had the chance, but never committed...
I like to think that I'm too involved in a relationship with myself to have one with someone else.

I have a tendency towards an avoidant and insecure attachment style, and find it hard to trust others and myself. Therapy is slowly changing this and I'm working on my relationships at work and home, and with myself, but still as yet no romantic relationship.
Sorrel, I can relate a lot. I'm not much younger than you and only had one short(ish) relationship. Due to big issues at home when I grew up, I have avoided intimate relationships throughout my twenties and mainly my thirties although on a certain level I've longed for them. It's very tricky. I'm aware of the issues, like you, and feel I might be more ready now than in the past, but it's been a long struggle.

I was raised by my single mother, who was ironically a staunch Baptist, and girls were forbidden. I was afraid to even talk to girls until I was about 19. I am 24 now, and I've never even been on a date. I have a really negative self image, and no self esteem, so it doesn't look good. The worst part is I'm back in college now, and there everywhere. I'M SURROUNDED BY WHAT I FEEL I'LL NEVER HAVE! At least I've got the interwebs, and drawer full of socks though right?!?

What accomplishment did you achieve from never engaging in these unprecedented things?

As for me,
currently involved in a relationship and it's okay.

My brother will be 26 on 12/28. He's never really had a friend and he's never been on a date. His only socialization comes from me and my hubby. When he was in high school he had some girls that would call but he'd just hang up. Always said they were just asking him out to make fun of him. I've tried setting him up on dates. My little cousin has tried and a friend of mine who's closer in age to him. All it does is freak him out and cause him extreme anxiety so we don't try anymore. I just feel so sad for him because I know he's lonely and miserable

Well, I've never had a boyfriend and I am 28 years old. My husband is just totally closed on the idea. I usually tend to submit when he's passionate about things. Live and let live is what I always say.
Thanks for this!

'o.O

Yeah. I was 21/22 before delving into a serious relationship - I was a tad late to the 'scene', for numerous clichéd reasons, of which I expect nobody to understand, and for fear of being judged, I won't even bother going there.

"All it does is freak him out and cause him extreme anxiety"

^ I relate to that! That's exactly how I was. >.< It's so difficult getting past that stage, for people like us with anxiety issues 'n stuff.

Have you never had a Girlfriend/Boyfriend ?

I am 21 years old and I had a GF once; she was incredible. Unfortunately, that relationship ended in less than a year, and since then I have not had a GF, although I have been rejected more times than I care to count. Now, I don't even have friends to chat with, so all my socializing is done through PsychCentral basically. Personally, I am not optimistic about having a relationship, because too few women find me a worthwhile individual

Ah yes, he reminds me of me. Every now and then a girl would try and talk to me, but I would assume it was a joke, and then later I would find out it wasn't. By then it was too late.

I find it hard to believe that women once wanted to talk to me. Seems so far from the person I have now become.

I don't know what to say about your brother, but I would advise you to find out what his diagnosis is so you can understand him a little better.
