I’m 18 years old (I’ll be 19 in a month) and I’ve never had a girlfriend. I don’t subscribe to the same philosophy as the douchebag who shot up UCSB because I don’t think that I am entitled to love or s** from girls- if a girl is not attracted to me or only likes me as a friend, that is 100% her choice and her right. However, it’s really hard to have any kind of self confidence or a positive self image when that seems to be literally all girls see you as. Just because I realize that I am not entitled to love, doesn’t mean I want it any less. Sometimes, I think that it will be like this my whole life- that no girl will ever give me a chance and I will end up old and alone. Everyone just wants to love and be loved, to accept and be accepted. Why do I have to be so terrible at life?
