I was about to buy my first house at 26 but everything went wrong.
I don't have a younger brother so 4 is... obvious. But the rest is pretty awesome. Including 16. Same here. 40 hours, deep rooted hate for drunk drivers and I have macs (I don't like them, but I own them) but will never have an iPod ;D.

Get outside and do something. I know you say you suck at socializing but today is perfect day to practice since you have nothing better to do.

I'm the same way with almonds. Hands down they are my favorite nut.
good luck with the dieting, i'm losing weight myself because I want to get my swoll on for the summer and be able to walk around with my shirt off if I want.
Yeah i'm not religious but I like to say that i'm spiritual. I like to think that there is something bigger out there than just man kind.

practice practice practice.

You need to thrust yourself into social situations like against your will.

I did that and it helped me so much. I would go to bars/clubs by myself and when you first get there it seems kind of lame to be there by yourself but once you start getting comfortable being in social type areas then you are able to open up and start chit chatting with people.

I think what's going to help you is when you start losing weight that is totally going to boost your self confidence. I'm overweight but I have loads of self confidence so that's not an issue for me. It also wasn't an issue when I was trying to overcome being fail at social situations.

as for me, i don't suck at socialising, but it's the same dry routine of meeting frens that bore me, and add to the fact that I'm very lazy to drive

I prefer macadamias. But almonds will do.

I'm a secularistic Gnostic Christian. My idea of God is not conventional but that's how I interpret faith annd spirituality.

my only problem with chatting to girls in clubs/bars is that they tend to get overtly paranoid about me trying to getting under their skirt so anything resembling a sexual innuendo, however innocent, is often misinterpreted. we are quite conservative here

oh that must be rough, I would totally not like that club scene.

^^you won't - the girls are seriously over-suspicious - they won't leave their drink on their table if they go to the ladies room for fear of you lacing it with some rape-drug -they'll finish it there or then, or when they return, they order a new one

that's pretty smart though and not overly suspicious in my books.

idk man did you attempt to lace some drinks and found out it wasn't that easy?

FETCHER. · 02-15-2011, 10:23 AM

Thats what happens here. I'd literally never leave my drink lying around. It's just sheer stupidity.
