How do you deal with feeling unwanted? That's what gets me; this idea that I am a reject.

I feel this way a lot too. I try and find shelter in music or some other artform.... there is a lot of self-described reject artists that I just happen to find lovable.

I'm not a virgin but have had only a few short relationships but come across as a virgin since I'm seldom in a relationship and don't really have any sex life to brag about. The one thing I really loathe is coworkers always talk about sex and establish a pecking order based on sexual prowess, experience and orientation. If you don't talk about sex, word spreads quickly through the grapevine, and no one wants to be stuck alone with you in the office since that's about all they talk about, so they leave you in the trenches instead of promoting you to jobs with more social interaction. I think it even factors in the hiring process for small businesses. They want to know if you're married with children, aka "normal". This may be more of an issue for men though. I've worked for many companies and this is true for a majority of them, especially after you've reached age 30.

Ugh! I could not stand it. It sounds messed up. I hope it is not prevalent. Awfully unprofessional... I'm glad I'm not a guy.

happens to be a virgin. What judgments, or lack of the same, would you make about him? For one thing, looking at your experience from a different direction just may encourage you to examine some of your beliefs about how romance, sexuality, and so on are "supposed" to be. For another, there may be men on this forum who...haven't found the right one yet? ...aren't interested in the local dating scene? ...have gotten by on fantasy and self-pleasuring? Who knows? |

They talk about sex at work all the time and nothing else? We talk about relationships marriages and on occasion maybe somebody would mention sex in general but not like all the time! What type of jobs do you work ????? Where is talking about your sex life is an expectation???? Also may I suggest that could be you don't get promoted to jobs that require social interactions because of some type social difficulties rather than because of not having sex. I am just wondering....you made some suggestions to people on here that made me think if you suggest that in real life people would start avoiding you, and that is nothing to do with sex. It would be a major law suit not to promote because person wouldn't talk about sex Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
