Ever since I was a child, I’ve always struggled to start conversations with other kids, and even more so with girls. Because of that, I grew up being overprotected by my parents, which led me to develop an unhealthy dependence on others.
As a result, I spent a very lonely childhood, and the same happened during my teenage years and now in adulthood.
Currently, it is urgent for me to develop social skills such as starting conversations, leadership, effective communication, and so on.
Beyond needing these skills for work-related reasons, I also need them in my emotional and personal life, since I’ve never had a partner and s3x. Naturally, my body craves those experiences and needs.
Every day I have negative thoughts about my future, and I honestly can’t picture myself reaching the age of 30. On top of that, I’m balding and I’m 160 cm tall.
I’ve been thinking about joining a public speaking workshop, and although I attended one in the past, it didn’t really help. It felt more like a place where extroverted people gather and isolate the shy ones.
Now I also have to deal with this stigma that men are supposed to be extroverted, strong, and able to conquer women, to the point that some people — including my sister — have said they thought I was gay, even though I like women. #relationships source
