I Am Depressed Because I'm Lonely

I'm tired of being alone. The reminder from social media posts of my friends with their significant other really hurts me.
I'm a good person. So, why can't I be rewarded too?
What really hurts me the most is when I go out w friends and my mom says, "Why are you going with friends again? Why not focus on finding a nice guy and settling?"
I can't win ever. I hate this feeling and every time she says that I just wanna cry and call my friends to tell them I'm not going.
All I want is for a guy to care about me regardless of how I look. Instead I get burned and come back home, crawl into my bed, cry and be reminded that once again I'm alone.

If the profile picture is you, then looks are not a problem. You are quite beautiful.
Based on your profile name, i’m assuming you’re quite intelligent. That could be intimidating to some men. But that’s not your issue.

Do you find yourself having issues meeting new people, introducing yourself, etc? You could put off a vibe that you are shy, etc.

Speak to your friends and ask their opinion about how they see you in these situations. Do you seem shy? Do you seem stand-off-ish? Do you seem too forward? Etc. Happy hunting! 😊

Go out with your friends. Your mom means well when she says those things, it is her way of wanting the best for you, but I agree that is not how it comes across.

People do care about you and I am sure there is more than one guy that you know that is dying to ask you out. You run in nerdy/science circles? Then for sure, they are just to introverted to ask.

@76starships more likely her mom wants to push her into having kids so mommy can be a grammy and then have even more control over her daughter.

it's a manipulation technique.

mom should just put her issues away and keep them from affecting other lives.

First of all get present to the fact that the better person that you are if you were there and then there are that will appreciate you. Men are clueless in general in Easley threatened by a strong woman so try and see that as a good sign that you are someone worth caring for and the fact that there aren’t enough men that recognize that has nothing to do with you and your worth

Have you tried asking your friends to help you? Maybe they know some nice, single guy or can help you meet someone? Meet new people? Or you could just approach someone at the club (or wherever) and ask for his number?
Sometimes we have to take destiny in our own hands :/

@Melpomene I've asked. They usually say, "Yeah, we found this nice guy but.... (insert stupid excuse)" so I've distanced myself from them since I see now they aren't reliable and good friends to begin with.

I’m very sympathetic. I’m in a situation very similar to yours. Except I don’t even go out with friends often enough for my mom to ask me why I don’t find a girl to settle down with. She’s happy any time I go out with friends.
Livingwell · 61-69, M
You’re certainly pretty enough. Going out with friends gives you exposure to others, including men. I’d stick to your plan and keep going out. Someone will find you. Good luck!

My suggestion is that you become very sensual and open sexually. Men WILL respond to that and then you can sort them out as to who you like and have chemistry with...

:( That sucks. Going out and socializing with your friends is a good and healthy thing. Totally unfair for your mom to get on your case about that.

That sounds like an awful feeling indeed. Sorry you are going thru that.
