I feel I've failed at almost everything

Roswell

I'm 33, I have no friends and this has been so for about 10 years, have never had a long term girlriend (only 3 short term ones, in other words barely proper girlfriends at all) and each career goal I had I didn't reach due to not being able to do so.

In social groups, pubs, on dating websites, Twitter, Facebook I get ignored more than other people, I'm apparently less funny or interesting. Except for my mum most my family patronise me and don't value any of my opinions even when I spend hours researching them.

Seems I have not succeeded at much of anything. I feel a bit depressed about it tonight. That's all.

  • I get what you mean. Had experience at work today all my colleagues stood around talking and messing about and me on my own carrying on working. 
    I do feel like most people talk to me if nobody else is about and even then not always. 
    I am 37 and only ever had 1 true mate. 
    I left my old area years ago and only immediate family knew I was going. How many of my mates tried getting hold of me after I left? 0. 
    and so find it really difficult to believe anyone takes me seriously. 
    am struggling to but trying hard to train myself not to let things like that get to me as some days it really gets me down.  I try telling myself I have succeeded at things even though nobody acknowledges it.
