 | Please tell me this isn't true, this doesn't give me much hope at all. I'm also in this same situation, I'm 28 years old. But you are 44. That just scares the crap out of me. So to the originator of this discussion, look what can happen to you. In my case you would add on 8 more years of pain and loneliness. If anyone knows what you feel like its me. I have begun to notice we lonely for life people are around more than I thought. I too am a virgin not by choice. Quite a sad thing it is for someone my age. Especially when you have relatives younger than you getting married and you keep going to weddings alone. Sitting by yourself. No one noticing. I'm not sure if you are there yet but eventually you will not be able to function properly, you will become very reclusive, and suicide will be on your mind for years. It will effect your work, your family, and general well being. I may not know what love is like but I got plenty of experience in hate. I perhaps can understand how someone might get to 44 and have this problem. People are cruel, thoughtless, selfish, conceided and so hateful. I understand the fright you might feel when even thinking about approaching someone. I have tried yet have only been rejected. And it takes a long time for me to get over it and I don't think I am really over it. When a pile of rejections keep adding up it gets harder and harder to get the courage you need to talk to someone. There is even a great deal of difficulty in admitting to someone you need therapy. Everyone says you need therapy. I'm telling you we just need someone. Maybe we should start some kind of lonely mans club just so we would be with others we can relate with and we know we would help each other out. We have a unique problem. One that is often ignored or never thought about. But here is proof that we are out here. |
