[QUOTE]Originally posted by Diotima: [QB] Hello Scarleteen, I've been lurking here for a while, but this is my first post. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post; if it isn't, I'm sorry. I just had a birthday last week: I just turned 24. I have never had any kind of romantic/sexual relationship or contact with anyone else, ever. None. I'm worried that I never will. I feel like a socially stunted freak. As an older teenager, my parents used to ask me all the time why I never dated any boys; my mother stopped when I told her I'd rather date girls. (It took her a little while to start bugging me about why I never date girls.) And I would like to, in theory, I just have no idea how one goes about it. I'm worried that I missed some sort of window in the standard time-table of social development during which one is supposed to figure these things out. My family, friends and community are, with a few exceptions, very supportive of LGBT people. I don't think that was the problem. I'm working on not believing that I'm too monstrously fat, ugly and stupid for anyone to ever be interested in, and I realize my beliefs about myself are probably part of the problem. It's very hard for me to stop the constant stream of self-criticism that plays in my head. I suppose I'm just looking for advice, or for stories of anyone who's been in a similar situation (and found their way out). Thanks for taking the time to read. [/QB][/QUOTE]
