We've all seen these stories...

"is it normal that I want a boyfriend soo bad that I'm desperate"

"I'm 18 and I've never had a boyfriend or been kissed."

"I am twenty years old and I am a virgin."

"is it normal that I've never been in a relationship?"

"is it normal that I want a relationship..."

I could go on but there is a new grouping approved through posting every week.

I have never been this lonely. Personally, I have not been single since I was 14. I have always been able to find good, quality friendships, dates and relationships. I have always been social and have only in very few times in my life experienced true loneliness. I honestly can't imagine living the kind of life some of these people described...
Not being able to talk to girls/guys, not being able to make friends, not being able to find a relationship...

I wonder if it is normal to be saddened that there are so many people out there who feel so lonely, or who crave affection but never get it? It makes me sad to read them and I think I am going to stop commenting on them.

    I just posted one of those. :x

    With some OP's you can feel the pain in their writing. Those are the ones I feel I should at least acknowledge because they deserve at least that even if I don't have much advice to give. The last one that sticks out the most in my mind was the one where the OP wasn't sure what true love really was but wanted it badly and asked if it even existed.

    It saddens me as well. I wish those people could appreciate their singlehood more. I think the mainstream media have made too much of a habit out of portraying relationships as the ultimate goal. It gives people a ridiculously idealistic view of love, which makes them depressed if they can't find it.

    I've spent time being single wishing I had a girlfriend, and I've spent time in my relationships wishing I was single again. I guess both situations have their advantages.

    A lot of stories make me sad. There is a lot of sadness in the world and some people focus on it too much. Many times I feel people are just throwing a pity party and I don't always want to attend. There are a lot of good things in this world if we just look for them. Of course your bruise will hurt if you keep poking it. I do what I can to combat the negative but I'm not always in the mood to do so. Even when I write a positive story, someone often comments in a negative way. Such is the way of the internet. I do my best to put it out of my mind.

    Please, feel free to contribute positive stories to balance out the negative ones. Not that I want the negative ones to go away. People should have a comfortable place to vent. Thanks. :)

    Yes, I agree. Some stories do make me sad, because that's what the OP is feeling, sadness. The stories that hurt me the most are those about rape victims and animal abuse. I just can't take it sometimes.

    It was disheartening the first 6 months I was here.

    Well you and your sister both seem pretty insecure about your looks if you guys are both that desperate for validation of your looks from other people like if you feel pretty then why do you guys need people to tell you and like why do you need to know that people think you're prettier than her. You're way too concerned with people's opinion....
