I used to be where you are. I never/very rarely left the house. My parents loved me a great deal but they are the reason I never left the house. My mother would go into a full panic attack at the thought of me growing up, even when I was well into my 20's. She would threaten suicide, so I just stopped trying. I let myself stagnate because I felt I was worthless and why bother trying? I had one friend who pushed me out of my comfort zones, but that was it. Dating was awful and I did it all wrong. Even with all these things stacked against me, even when my father passed away and my horrible grandmother ruined my family, I managed to get the exact life I wanted. Things just changed for me. In about two years time I went from that lonely, hopeless, barely human feeling to the road to my future. I was 27 when things started changing, but I was about 30 before I moved out of my mothers house and got a real job, was in a steady relationship, and gained friends who are still by my side to this day. It takes some of us a bit longer to get where we want to be, but I think that makes us appreciate it more, and it makes us better at keeping it stable. I met my husband in the worst possible way, on ok cupid :viosweat: EVERY other experience I had with online dating was absolutely horrible, but because I never left my house, that was my only option. (I still wish there was a trustworthy platonic friend making site/app out there...) Somehow, fate threw us together. If you believe in yourself hard enough, life will give you what you need.
Right now as I am typing this I am crying. I don't have a good relationship with my parents (they continue to emotional abuse me), have no real life friends, don't like going out thus not will I ever find someone to be with me? Also always have been to afraid to tell a guy I liked them. It's because I have been bullied for 4 years in high school.
