i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Thanks again @TAB, all I want is for someone to be understanding.
Thanks @Former-Member, I feel like I've spent too much of my life alone amusing myself waiting for some company to share life with, but my energy for that has ran out, and anyone I do have for company is not understanding and makes things worse.
I do have some hope, because I have had lots of counselling too, although most of it I found more harmful, I did have one good psychologist who helped me a lot with depression. And I understand my problems more now myself.
Also I met someone once, someone who I could never have imagined could have existed, while she was my friend, everything was ok, all of my problems just didn't matter anymore, it was divine, but no one understood, at least she taught me that I still exist, otherwise I'd have given up by now.
It is hard talking to my parents, I want to and I try to, but it just hurts and makes me feel more alone that they don't understand.
I am studying, but I don't know if I'll finish now, have been under so much stress lately my energy to try to do positive things has gone.

Thank you @Faith-and-Hope, this is all I've been trying to do for 14 years or so, it's unbelievably hard having to fight against everyone, people who are so mean and vehement.

Thank you again @Faith-and-Hope, I have lost my relationship with the friend I had for the longest and my sisters, because they wouldn't stop telling me that I'm ugly and no girl will ever like me and it's not ok for me to want to talk to girls, until I believed it, until it broke me. I don't understand why they done that, but I don't think things are reconcilable with them. I try. And thank you, although I'm not sure how anyone could enjoy my company being negative, although I can be a fun person believe it or not, I am still an intact individual, just very inhibited by brokeness.
