    Default friend calls me weird and psycho

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    Recently, a long-time family friend told me I was weird and psycho. Then proceeds to tell me her parents don't want me around unless my parents are there and that I'm "different" What hurts the most is that she and her family are friends with my family and a few relatives.

    I did something that almost costed my life at their house. I don't know what I was really thinking when I did it. I was super drunk when it happened. I was depressed about the way my life has turned out and the lack of sex. I regret what I did. Now, that they're shunning me I feel worse because they were the only people I would call friends in my life. I told a family friend's ex who I've known for a few years about why I did it which led to a short-term fling with him knowing that I was close to a virgin. I ended it because sex was eventually all he wanted from me.

    Long story short, I've lived a very sheltered life. I was fearful of venturing out doing things including driving, scared of meeting people. Even in most of my 20's. I'm profoundly heairng impaired so it does make communication diffiuclt especially when their's overlapping conversations and backgorund noise. I've always been distant from my dad and since my teenage years my relationship with my mom always been rocky. I have 2 other siblings and they have many friends and have are in a relationship. I've never had a date in my life though have experimented with sex and loved it.

    I go to the bar now to escape the lonliness especially on the weekends. People tell me to get involved in other things. Easier said than done, I work odd hours during the week and living out in the boondocks, there isn't much going on that's within 15 minutes away. I would just love to have friends to hang out with on fri. and sat. evening doing things like poker, card games, hanging around a bonfire etc. I don't invite people over because I still live with my parents and with my fiancial situation right now, I can't afford to move out.

    I hate the way I look though I don't complain about it to anyone. I don't find myself attractive at all. I just don't like the way I look for various of reasons.

    We all feel down and out sometimes and do stupid things... doesn't make you weird or a "psycho". You should look into social clubs in your area to meet people. What about at work or school? You're lonely because you don't have anyone to hang out with and talk to, because you're afraid of meeting new people. Get over that fear and once you start talking to other people and making friends, you likely won't feel so depressed. If there's anyone that doesn't accept you for who you are, screw 'em... they're not worth it, find someone who does. I think you'd be surprised how understanding and accepting people can be if you're willing to open up a little. I would also suggest talking to a counselor to help you deal with these insecurity issues you're having. We all have our imperfections... there's no reason why you shouldn't believe that you're an awesome person and deserve everything you want in life.

    Katie, they are wrong for putting a lable on that.. You were down and out and from what you are writing, tried to commit suicide in front of them, that's the only reason why they want your parents there as well, if you visit... No one, likes to feel responsible, in the event of a tragic situation.. Please don't think they don't want you there full stop.. It's fear of what if you try that again? And, they can't save you... They are close to your family as well...

    There was a thread idential to yours not too long ago, she also chose alcohol as the way to get through things and strangely enough, also tried to commit suicide at a friend's house, or just was so down and out talked about doing so, same result the family wouldn't let her go there, unless the parents were there...

    People are in relationships because they get out and about, not just at a pub, not just having sex once in a blue moon and enjoying that feeling but getting out and about so they meet people, make friends, meet their partner..

    YOU HAVE TO get out... as krystal pointed out, join social groups, sports groups, art groups, what ever you have passions for...

    You may not think you have any passions in life but you do...

    Why not share with us here what you think you would love to do, what interests you used to have but have forgotten, what you would do if you could do?

    Your name suggests you live in the Country, how far away, if so is that from a bigger township? Do you drive?
