Hey...thanks for the inputs.
First, I have to explain my "volunteering" situation. I've seen my mother "volunteer" for a lot of things when I have been growing up. Mostly with adult literacy. The problem is that I am just like my mother. We are both extremely nice. We allow people to "use" us. If you "volunteer" sometimes they expect a lot because they don't get a lot. They gave my mother a tremendous "guilt trip" when she decided leave. When you volunteer more than 40 hours a week, that's a problem...because that's the idea of volunteering. If you volunteer, you need a place that needs it one time or they have hundreds. It's free labor.
I help people when I see it's needed or they ask. and Honestly...I should help myself first?! I've always think about other people first and not myself.
About my confidence....Yes, I think it might help me out but it's something that I have a hard time dealing with. I'm constantly picked on about my personality, looks, ...everything. I've heard people saying "i'm weird." I ask them why....and they reply " Because it's you!!"
In highschool, a lot of kids told me to go ahead and kill myself. They said the world would be better off.
People seem to make fun of me when there are other people around. But if we are alone they don't really poke fun of me as much. They still do it, though,... including some "friends"
My parents don't really help either....at least my DAD. They have wanted me to get plastic surgery. They don't leave me alone..."so I think it's time for you to find a girl." "get a better job"
O.k..so that's my responses for those. My second question:
How do you approach these women? Can anyone give me details in what you said to them? Who you were with...by yourself or with a friend?
Thanks --
