yet every time I see a happy couple, every time I see a pretty girl, every time some insufferable fool won't shut the hell up about how blissful their coupled life is, it rears it's ugly, illogical head to ruin my mood.
See, because i'm far too ugly to get a girlfriend
I'd like to have a girlfriend too but here is the thing you need to understand and decide for yourself, you have to want it on your terms. I could, just as ANYONE (yes even you), go get a girlfriend right now, if I tried hard enough, for a while and dropped my standards right into the dirt. I don't want that though, I'd rather be single than be with someone who doesn't make sense for me, it isn't fair for me and it really isn't fair for them. So this leads to me going solo through a lot of life, I'm 21 and honestly have never had a solid type relationship that I can look back on and say, that was my girlfriend.
I agree that it is very annoying to listen to people talk about their relationships but for the most part they are usually just shallow and full of petty shit. I wouldn't want that anyway and for the most part I always get to see their relationships crash and burn eventually, which basically proves me right, they are wasting their time and money, other than getting laid it just is a big headache and a way not to feel lonely.
So waiting doesn't feel too bad for me, eventually maybe I'll find a girl who I can actually see myself with and who won't come across as a waste of time for various reasons, I personally rather not put myself through unneeded drama until then. You are right though, you will NEVER have a girlfriend, not because you are ugly but because your attitude is totally pathetic, sorry dude but you have no excuse to give up hope, life has shit all over me and I keep working at it, as do many others.
If it is simply easier for you to give up and say you are too ugly, if it is less painful for you to be alone than risk your already fragile self be hurt anymore then I understand and I totally know where you are coming from. I'm sorry man, life can really suck.
