i'll never be a badass uncle because i have no siblings
i won't even be an uncle
coming to the realization that your siblings are old enough to have children is a bad feeling
i'll never be voted texas substitute teacher of the year three times in a row
I have three nieces
i am poor

that too awdood;
My brother is married.
My sister, while her previous engagement is off, is seeing another person since she moved home.
I've had some good dates but I can't seem to connect with anyone.
I realize I'm going to be one of those weird old men that live at home alone with several cats.
I'll be married to my job because between my pets and myself, work is all I have.
Nobody will be around to see me die.
My cats will eat me.
Just as Poe described.
nigga if you are capable of getting dates you will not be lonely
if anybody will die alone it's hiro
It's my pride, high expectations and incredibly difficult standards that will lead me to be alone forever.
I know it is.
I'm no trophy wife.
Why do I do this?
(this is real talk right now :'( )
suggestion: lose weight, get muscle, and start working on your game
if you can prove you care about yourself and you're an interesting person, you can start attracting the same type of men
hiro will not die alone because he has us in his heart
That involves effort.
Working on it, working on it. I know I'm interesting enough at least. :(

start doing pushups everyday no exceptions
go up one a day
once you've lost sufficient weight, get a pullup bar like me a strongbad did
also do squats for a nice juicy ass. you've got enough weight on you that your own body weight will get you a firm, muscular ass pretty fast. by the time you loose all that fat you'll have the best ass in town
We're talking about my inability to love.
I've already got the best ass in town, silly.

if you want to attract people you're attracted to and you have "high standards", you need to be the best
and nobody wants a fat ass

you can work your way up to the top of your career and then get the boy toy of your dreams.
Is it bad I've also had issues with finding people attractive lately?
Things I normally would like won't due. In fact pretty much nothing will.
you're just experiencing a disease called homosexuality
Aren't we supposed to be deviants?
I have no sexual drive or desires whatsoever.

lol i have the opposite kinda- i mean i like being an uncle, and growing up, i've never had an uncle or aunt have any close talks with me except for like two- but not much. so i want to be there for my niece and nephews, but i have a hard time showing my emotions to family more than people that aren't from my family. but lol i think my immediate family is lame for the most part so i try to be there because my sister can be a bitch and strict, my parents are a bit strict, and my brother barely does anything with them. so far the kids think im good anyway.
and another thing about being an uncle is that my parents are so tired of the kids sometimes that i don't have to deal with that "when are you going have our grandchildren!!??" demand...well, if we have any, anyway. which is kinda sad too if my kids want a grandma and grandpa to look up to...

i think your inability to love may go deeper. this is going to sound cheesy, but i studied myself sometime and have some apprehension thinking about thoughts i never thought about that could be linked to my childhood. i learned that i was a certain way with certain things, because of something i never once considered after avoiding some problems in the past. or not giving enough thought to them.
though, i'm no psychologist
anyway for the thread- i have the opposite. it's that i have too much empathy and compassion for people. i reply so much to people and sometimes whenever i don't get an answer, i become so self-conscious of myself. i cling on to people that may not be worth it in the end. i have so much care for people that i don't even think about myself sometimes, even to the point of humiliating myself once in a while. and in a lot of cases in my life, it made things worse for me. but i have worked on that since that epiphany.

seems like a symptom of depression imo
[spoiler=deardiary #groanzone]i guess i could add a few things:
i can't drive for shit, i am stuck holy fuck. most of my life i've been sheltered and my parents bought most things i wanted in the past and drove me everywhere i wanted to go- so i can be such a pussy. but i've been progressing. but it makes me so miserable that i don't have my license and it has been making me feel awful about the future.
because of that, it limits what jobs i can go for- and even then i have anxiety with thinking about interviews. i don't have anybody to teach me how to drive and i already spent like $280 on lessons. right now the only think i have going for me is school...but this year im finishing cc... i don't know where else to go after that- well i kind of have an idea. but i have some brofessors i talked to about my situation, and lol they really don't want to see me become some NEET, so they've been helping out a whole lot
but i always end up thinking that...what if i make all of their help just useless in the end? but i know i gotta think better than that...i just have to. i can't be that pathetic. they have so much confidence in me about being a successful person regardless of my anxiety and average grades
but i just don't know in the end. i don't want to be a disappointment to myself and everybody else who has helped me- I just can't. [/spoiler]
also it's weird to think that most of the ppl i went to school w/ and am 'friends' w/ on facebook will be graduating this year

cut that bitch out of your life entirely
part of me wants to. part of me is still holding onto some bit of hope because:
1. they went on one date and now he's off to boot camp, so as selfish as i know it sounds, i'm hoping it fizzles out between them
2. from her tumblr: "If I don't stop having dreams about you, I think I might fall in love."
from her mouth today: "I've been having a lot of weird dreams about you lately"
Either way, she's been nothing but a great friend to me so it would be so unfair, but if I keep feeling like this I won't really have a choice

protip: don't have hope in women because they never come to
really like you with time. either they do the minute they meet you, or they never do
if women can't get with a man fairly quickly, they only see them as friends. men instead have the problem of liking a women they more they know her.
there's no hope and you're only torturing yourself.
and you may not believe it, but the tumblr shit she posted is probably about another man even though she said weird shit to you too

it's small but statistically speaking 176 people is a pretty good sample size
many perfectly valid and accepted studies are done with around 20-30 people
also page 2 mentions a second study with 249 people

Yes, it is.
Quote from: udderfailure on January 06, 2014, 09:39:45 PM
It is to an extent
It's just a situation where one person wants to be in a relationship and the other person obviously doesn't. The term itself implies that one of the two people in the
not-relationship (usually the "poor" guy) is some kind of victim because the other doesn't want to escalate things.
Labels labels labels.
I agree with boognish. If the man knows what's good for him, he'll just lay it all out there. Which I plan to do. Tomorrow. And I'm terrified. But there you go.
The friendzone is a term used to place the blame on the other person when the person "being friendzoned" either:
a.) Can't/Won't just step up and say their feelings and expects the "Friendzoner" to somehow know their feelings and become romantically accepting
and/or/then
b.) Keeps trying after the initial rejection of interest with the mindset "oh if i can show her/home how great of a friend I am then she/he will fall for me!!!!!!!!!"
These two are much more likely and common than a fictional "friendzone". A person will have feelings for a friend for months without saying anything and get pissy over being in the "friendzone". Then they finally grow some balls and make a move but get rejected. This confirms their "friendzone" mentality, but they won't just give up here. They must win their crush over through friendship~~~~ This also just feeds into their view that the friendzone is a true~ thing.
They're not a victim in this situation.
There is also a third situation that people might call the "friendzone": He/She is using you, motherfucker. They like the free gifts, favors, and such you are doing for them and are using your feelings for them to get these. They act like something has potential knowing nothing will ever happen
You are a victim here. but it's not the friendzone. Just of a shitty "friend" using you.
