    It's day 3 i think. I don't know what is happening with me. I am feeling depressed and helpless. I think it's to do with how i have done nothing to improve myself.

    I am where i was 10 years ago at the same place at the same house.
    Seeing people who i used think were my friends and maybe my best friends didn't reciprocate the same feelings. Every acquaintance from my school has got jobs and I think their life figure out. But me ? None.

    I don't think i'm particularity good at anything. I try to do bodybuilding because i was anorexic for most of my life. It feels good to me, Scoliosis pain sucks though so that's the other reason i go to gym for workout. I have made good progress though went from 47kg to now 80kg at 184cm staying at near 10% bodyfat.

    I'm at home all day on weekends. No one calls me, No one cares. People or what i used to call friends only calls or message me when they need something, Even after i do what they want or need there is no thank or anything. Everything after that is kinda ignored.
    Even at gym i have seen strangers getting together, having fun working out. But for me no one comes to me. For all my life people who i have had conversations with told me i have this serious or emotionless face. I have seen it myself. I have had instances where i am laughing but the opposite side always tells me i never laugh and it ruins the mood for everyone.

    I have started writing online journal to keep track of my progress. looking though it i saw that some days i'm energetic and these thoughts doesn't even cross me but often i'm like this over analyzing things, being to self aware.

    I so want myself to change. I'm sick and tired of being like this i remember i used to fap twice or thrice daily and going though porn for more than 3-4 hours in my highschool days. In this country where i live, having any sort of sexual education in highschool is like taboo. So never getting this i started masturbating at an early age of 10. That time i didn't have internet so fashion shows and fantasies was enough for me. The moment i joined college i realized how dumb and stupid i really am. I had no fashion sense wearing baggy clothing, not caring about myself enough.I changed as much i could but still sucks at social skills. I am doing my best trying to have atleast 1 small talks with strangers daily. I'm still scared of opposite sex. I'm weird,awkward, too negative when it comes to me.

    It's my last year in college now.I am doing good academic wise and really looking forward to leave this town but at the same time thought of leaving this town scares me. I have been putting on this fake happy face in college but deep down i'm really helpless. I hate myself for being how i am. I hate looking myself in front of mirror.

    This might be just a vent but i just wanted to know if some of you guys feels the same.

    I hope next year would be good for me :)

    I do feel the same my friend our stories are the same so first and foremost forget you have any friends, seriously man friends like that are a waste of time energy and effort for me I ghosted them because they would never wait for me when studying for a test, invite me anywhere and I do blame that on porn but i knew most of them masturbated too. do not do anything for them anymore block their messages calls, texts messages, snaps etc. block them face to face with the serious face because that face can be used as an advantage too.
    at the gym I too worry about the fact that strangers fat guys and hot girls work out together or go out together and it sickens me but what can we do we can either direct our energy feeling sorry and being envious ( for which i need to work on) or we can push to even greater limits. another weapon is your academics the greater you get at that obtain degrees and what not the more confidence you will have, study the heck out of your field while the rest of your so called friends party it up and you will be victorious.

    Thanks for the reply bro :)
    It feels good to see that other people have the same problem and working towards fixing it.

    My only goal is to get outside this town and start to life a happy life. I am working on not needing outside validation to feel good about myself. Learning to be happy with only myself is a goal that i will achieve..

    If you don't know yet what are you good at, then you have an adventure to find in what you might be good.
    When was the last time you tried something you have never done?
    If you have fear aproaching to people and talking with them, then do it with fear. But remember it is easier if you begin step by step, little by litlle then you will be strong enough to reach waht you have feared.
    I know you can reach what you want, God doesn't make trash, God made you overcome limits.

    It`s very pity, but I also had such a period in my life, and it was a really difficult experience. Every day I was trying to find my soulmate. I didn't have enough money for a psychologist, so I started to surf the net in order to find some advice on how to proceed in such a situation. Fortunately, I found a very interesting blog http://twinflamez.net which gave me very good lessons on how to deal with my problem. I found out that every person has his own soulmate, and I have just to wait for it. I decided to heed to this suggestion. And today, after some years I`m happy.
