I Don't Date because...

I'm fat, boring, jobless, plain looking, have poor social skills, don't know how to respond to conversations, have a hard time connecting, and horrible at keeping friends, and staying in touch. Other than that, I suffer from depression, and anxiety, and tend to overthink a lot plus I'm asexual. All I do these days is get stuck on the internet, and playing video games, very unmotivated to do anything, and binge eat my feelings away. I've been living in a hole I can't seem to get out of no matter how hard I try...life is too cruel to me in the past that's why I'm stuck the way I am. There are days that I just stay in bed, and want everything to end.

My family is right, I guess I really am undateable. At least I'll save people from someone like me...I'm destined to be alone.

I’m sorry you’re suffering. That all sounds so horrible.

However, you’re already therapy sessions ahead and aware of yourself and the things you want to change.

Don’t change em all at once.

Start with one thing at a time. Put on foot in front of the other and move.

Not to say you don’t need some assistance, but it’s ultimately up to you to carry that weight.

@AnthroKenji Been trying for years, and have been carrying that weight for like forever. Depression and anxiety go hand in hand...one day you're motivated to do stuff, then you're in a hell hole the next. It's been up and down for me. It's extremely hard, and I'm stuck.

@bittersweethermit Well
Motivation isn’t something that just develops and stays it takes work. You’re stuck and you know it. Seek help to get unstuck, unstuck yourself or stay stuck.

Some people aren’t even aware of any of this.
