This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I was 29 years old when I met my first girlfriend and had my first sex and I regret nothing. I didn't really realize it at the time, but I wasn't at all ready at 20 years old.

So given your other comment, a lack of experience is normal here. Speaking as someone who has been on many sides of the ability to get laid spectrum from "nobody will ever fuck me" to regular group sex, to "both of my partners have been in long funks of not wanting sex and I've grown too picky for casual" the think you need to understand is that it's not going to just happen, but trying too hard will ensure it doesn't.

Go out, meet new people, dress nice for it, and be your most enjoyable to be around self, and start learning to flirt (it's a skill and everyone starts terrible at it).

I actually had to realize I was depressed first. Therapy helped a lot with my self esteem.

I am glad you managed to overcome it with therapy!
