What exactly is so wrong with me?

I guess that makes sense. A support group for each other, and all that jazz. I really do appreciate every one's input and help through this.. it really means alot to me. Thank you.

Those guys are frequently assholes who haven't the empathy, sensitivity or intelligence to recognize that they have nothing to offer, and are often parasites.

God aint that the truth. As a 'nice guy' I can tell you right here and now that we don't finish last - we're disqualified well before the race has even begun.

And I've done the whole 'visualise what you want in a positive way' thing for a really long time. Apologies, but it's bull#. And it's not like I was asking for a million dollars or a flying car or anything outrageous - just someone to love.

Anyway, no positive, uplifting words from me I'm afraid. A similar depression has broken me and now I hate everyone and everything (some people and things more than others, granted). But at least I can tell you this: you're certainly not the only one feeling that way.

I don't think last guys are disqualified.... but after all the rotten guys making the nice girls paranoid... they get the girls who learned but are left with a huge amount of emotional baggage and tend to lose their stability.

Patience and assurance helps a lot with girls like me (who suffer from the above affliction), Change is a slow process.. but it's always possible.
