This is pretty much of a serious question. I'm in my 30s now. But when I was in my 20s--when I was still trying to avoid social situations, just not as much as I am now--I was a lot healthier. That was when I "should" have tried doing something about my nonexistent game, should have tried talking to women, should have done whatever I could. I felt a lot better then--in theory, even my awkward ass, might have made progress had I tried when I was healthy. Of course, that's hindsight for ya.

Now in my mid 30s, I feel like shit all the time. Every day. I have chronic headaches virtually 24/7, digestive issues, back pain.. I won't bore you with the details. Also, these issues have been going on for years, if there is a "fix" it's not a quick one. The point is, rarely do I ever feel like myself anymore. I basically cannot feel good anymore. And I don't know what to do about it. I do exercise (helps with pain and mood) but that's not helping half as much as it did, anymore.

I carry a vibe of someone who feels like crap and doesn't want to be around people--in large part due to literally feeling shitty most of the time. And of course, I'm autistic, and when you're like this (this is a little known fact) but that makes it impossible to conceal what you're feeling on the inside. When someone is autistic, if they feel like crap.. they look like it, too.

Does anyone else have pain or health issues that make it hard to feel good, sharp, etc.? It has of course "always" been hard for me to do that anyway given the autism, but now with health problems added on top, it's impossible.

If I can't get myself to feel better I will have to accept virginity for life (let's not talk about "other options" including paid, I'm tired of this disclaimer.) Because there is no way I can carry good vibes enough, to have a chance at a successful approach/social encounter. I have to feel good, that's how it works.

Anyone?
