Hi
I am 25. I have never been able to have relationships that last. Though I am quite intelligent I can't hold conversations with people. I always feel out of place and like the odd one out. Makes me feel frustrated and withdraw or spend hours crying or feeling sorry for myself. I used to be painfully shy & scared of people when i was younger. As i am working & it means interacting with people, it has become dificult. I do my job well but can't get along with anyone. My peers often gang up on me i.e they spread rumours or make fun of me though i don't do anything to provoke them. I seem to attract the wrong kind of people. My best friend was stealing from me/freeloaders and people who say nice things to me & back bite me. And the guys who ask me out just try to sleep with me but don't want to date me or don't even want to be seen with me though i am not unattractive.
I really want to pull myself together & have a normal life - feel good about myself, have steady relationships and learn to interact with people. Please help me with this.
