I live at home and don’t go out much. anhedonia is a ■■■■■. but that doesn’t mean i don’t want a connection or a gf. i tried online dating and it doesn’t work, and i don’t have a phone so tinder won’t work.
but a loser schizophrenic who lives with his parents isn’t a very good selling point.
tips?

It’s how I met my wife back around 1998.
It limits your options. My wife was blunt about the fact that she wouldn’t date anyone who was unemployed. A previous boyfriend had tried to live off her for a couple of years and that was enough. I was working full-time as a technician and also running a part-time business when we met.
If you really want a girlfriend you’re either going to have to level up and push past the anhedonia, or you’re likely going to have to look for someone else in the same boat you’re in.
Well, I’ve never tried online dating services but I can say that if you don’t use online dating or you don’t go out of your house where there’s women your chances of getting a girlfriend are slim. In order to get a girlfriend, you have to actually meet them. So you go where women are. You take a class, you go to church, you go to the library or the supermarket etc. The more women you meet the more likely you are to meet one you’re compatible with.
I dunno, maybe nowadays there’s some magic service where women come to your house to meet you but I’ve never heard of one.
You have to physically meet girls in person. You might meet a woman at a mental health clubhouse or a support group at NAMI maybe. I met a woman in a group home I was in and went out with her for awhile. I don’t have a lot of experience dating but I dated women who I was in programs or groups with. If you have a sister who has friends that’s one way to meet women but probably not the best way. To get a girlfriend you have to be physically with them.
If you have a dog, one way to meet friendly women is take your dog to the dog park. If you both have dogs that’s something you have in common right away and dog owners are usually friendly people.
I meet all kinds of women at work but I wouldn’t date any of them, most of them are married or too young.
I met my x girlfriend in a mental health facility.
I met my signif online. We started out as just friends but it eventually grew into a romantic relationship. Honestly my advice is just start out by making friends. go out and meet people. Find people you genuinely enjoy hanging out with, Romance might happen or it might not, but regardless you’ll find some awesome people along the way
The closest thing to a girlfriend I had was at work. Otherwise it didn’t come close to happening.
Don’t give up so easy There are plenty of horny girls out there You may have to lower your standard so little Find one with the same qualifications you have Like being a schizophrenic Living in their parents house I’m a fixed income Is plenty of them Is to be found
I tried turning on my gps many years ago, but no girl has come knocking on my door yet.
No, but seriously, things like online dating work. Just don’t show your hand before the time is right.
And ofcourse you have to work hard at bettering yourself, mostly meaning staying stable and have good mental hygiene.
@77nick77 's post is spot on.
You can’t meet people wothput putting yourself out tgere, online or iRL.
And if you want to meet someone you wish to stay with, creating a strong relationship, work on yourself first. Become someone you’d enjoy spending time with. If you can’t stand yourself and however you are, don’t be upset when no-one wants to spend time with you. Cultivate yourself into your best version!
I met my girlfriend at work. I developed sz afterwards and she stuck by me
I met my girlfriend on facebook and another one on Twitter
Social media is a wonderful tool if used properly.
One of the men i am in love now is from UK … i met him on reddit… i just love him a lot and he too loves me…
Bit we never sexted till now coz he is also very much asexual like me
In assisted living centers in Oklahoma they have men and women in the same facility. The women aren’t beauty queens, but some of them are all right. A girl told me once that if you’ve had sex in one of these places you almost certainly have an STD. I probably have one or two of them myself. Assisted living might be a good option for you. It has its problems, but it is better than the isolation and loneliness on the outside.
I met my husband online but you gotta be careful and need a smart phone… I found a lot of toads before I met my prince
I haven’t had a girlfriend in 10 years. I’m just too shy. Online dating is a good way of finding girls or boys like you though.
Psychosocial Rehabilitation
I’m sure the men are all Magic Mike material or you wouldn’t have made this statement.
I don’t know what you mean by “Magic Mike material”.
I live like a leper but i have lots of past life sonas
Im trying everything to keep my girlfriend. Pulling out all the stops. Gotta keep her busy lol. We saw each other for the first time when we were psychotic on the psyche ward. I want this so bad
I never had luck with gf in my life. All because I was not med compliant and was very unstable. Now I am trying to form a routine that can make me ordered and look good. Hoping to meet new friends and have a long relationships.
