should i feel embarrassed that i'm almost done with college and...

<p>made hardly any friends, and have still never dated once in my entire life?</p>

<p>it was hard to make friends since i'm a shy nerd, and used to have really bad social anxiety disorder. my friends are all nerds and don't have social lives. i tried making friends with cooler people, but they didn't like me</p>

<p>I failed miserably with girls. i went after all the wrong girls, who all rejected me, instead of talking to the hot girl who actually liked me</p>

<p>I plan on working for a defense contractor or going to grad school for mechanical engineering</p>

<p>its probably since I'm weird. some people have said that I'm not very open, and that I talk monotonishly, unless I'm talking with my close friends</p>

<p>Oh my god, is this all kids talk about these days? </p>

<p>I swear, I browse any message board loosely related to school and it always comes back to a topic nearly exactly like this one. The shy person questioning his or her ability to attract the opposite sex (due to an obvious lackthereof), and the following countless replies of people happily speculating upon someone who has it worse then they do.</p>

<p>These questions, the ones that try to gain some sort of skill at attracting the opposite sex, never lead anywhere. I have seen shy guys who have been on message boards like SoSuave, making posts like these, for YEARS. One of them is literally a 25 year old virgin and he has made this same topic atleast ten times and has been a regular there since 2002.</p>

<p>My point is these topics never get you laid. Why set yourself up to be poked and prodded like this? It’s also important to note that your situation is common, and much of your neurotic mind state is due to paranoid exaggeration.</p>

<p>Yeah it is a bit embarrassing. You should do something about it. I think if people truly don’t like something about themselves, they do what it takes to change it. When people don’t like something, but don’t really care they don’t change themselves.</p>

<p>So if you really care about this. Make it a point to change.</p>

<p>You should only be embarrassed if it’s something you put importance on. Some people are in your position and literally don’t give a damn and feel on top of the world. Others care a lot and feel like losers.</p>

<p>Agreed with PlattsburghLoser. Good insight. Some people simply don’t put emphasis on this sort of stuff and they have nothing to be embarassed about because, most likely, they’ve accomplished many other things. But then again, if this is something you regularly think about you ought to be doing something about it.</p>

<p>i really only feel embarassed since i feel like i wasted my college years. only recently, have i give this so much thought. for most of college, i couldnt care less</p>

<p>how can i change anyways? i’m gonna graduate in less than a year</p>

<p>I’ve heard from credible sources that if you pop your collar, the bitches holler.</p>

<p>that credible source probably lied…</p>

<p>No I’m pretty sure he was 100% swagtastic.</p>

<p>yeah if you’re trying to attract girls like this:</p>

<p>;)</p>

<p>shit. Give me a boner while my parents are in the room why don’t ya.</p>

<p>hahahahaha. now i can see why you want to go to Emory…</p>

<p>jk, maybe.</p>

<p>might i recommend a little tome called “the game”…?</p>

<p>uh , just get a prostitute and she will lossen u up.</p>

<p>^ agree with the previous post
make sure to go prepared against STDs :)</p>

<p>When in doubt, ask 4chan? I assure you /b/ will have the answer for you.</p>

<p>since when did the ■■■■■■ take over?</p>

<p>God loves you guys so much. Take care…</p>

<p>First of all, stop pitying yourself. </p>

<p>Secondly, if you want a date then ask a girl out. I’m willing to bet that around, idk, half? of the people in each one of your classes are girls. Find one you’ve talked to before and ask her out. If you’re too nervous, take a few shots first. </p>

<p>Want friends who aren’t nerdy? Go to a party. Nothing brings people together like a kegger. You can even bring your nerdy friends there–they’ll probably appreciate the break from studying.</p>
