One of my voices has often said (about that), āCount your blessings.ā
Because I had such poor consciousness, interpersonal awareness and social skills that no one but a co-dependent masochist would have me for long. Take a look at this stuff. It really helped me in the intimacy department.
- Get a copy of these books, read them and have your family read them, as well. (Torrey can be a bit totalistic and unwilling to see exceptions to his ārulesā at times, but most of his book is really worth the effort to plough through.)

You should be happy because you donāt have schizophrenia.

I was just venting,one of the big reason I want to change job and change environment is because I am hoping to change my life and hopefully make a girlfriend.Its just frustrating sometimes,so many trouble to have schizophrenia and take medication

I met a girl off pof. Been with her for over 3 months.
She knows about my mental issues. She is supportive.
You just have to meet one thatās understanding I learned.

I was like you when I was your age. It hurt me to see some guy and a girl together and know I was cut off from that. That feeling has greatly diminished. I donāt have that desperate need any more. You might get a girlfriend and find out relationships are not as wonderful as they appear from a distance. Try not to obsess on it. The pain will go away.

Yeah, someone else already said the first thought that popped into my head. You canāt force things like this. And you might be trying too hard. Girls get turned off by by desperate guys. Maybe you are not actually desperate but take it as a warning.

Counting your blessings will be good when she comes around tooā¦ so prepare for the girl with healthy gratitude is my viewā¦ Iām single by choiceā¦ by choice because most girls are not a good match it seemsā¦ I count my blessings now and maybe when my girl comes around Iāll be an appealing dude and wonāt be disregarded from gloom

Iāve been in a relationship with a wonderful guy for about 7 years now.
@77nick77 is right. Donāt be ādesperateā. The only reason I got into relationships is I was at college. You just need a place to socialize and meet other people. Also, donāt get to know girls only because youāre attracted to them. Get to know them as human being and youāll understand the right girl better, when she comes around. Plus those girls might have cute friends ;).
Also, donāt swing for the fences and go after a model lawyer ballerina with perfect hair unless you really feel connected to her as a person. If she isnāt the right one on a neurological level itās not going to work out no matter how thick and dark her eyelashes are. Besides, no one wants to be dated just so they can be a show piece. Unless you have $$$$$. Then she might change her mind about you and neither of you will be happy.
