I haven't been truly interested in anyone since I was high school. Sometimes I'll talk to a chick and if it goes well I'll pretend I'm interested in them, but it's really just because I'm lonely.

Nothing to gain and everything to lose.

I'm not afraid of it, but, well, since my first college year I haven't connected with a girl in any manner as with my first couple, I mean, every girl that I've talk to in this 4 years is kind of stupid or doesn't know anything about the world, I don't want a super intelligent girl or something like that, but, I really can't talk anything that isn't popular topics and fucking tiktoks. Also I haven't intimate with a girl about my feelings apart from the girl I mentioned earlier. wack

Sexual harassment charges

Pretty much this

>Rejection feels awful and is hard to get over, lowering what little self-esteem I have
>Pretty much any girl I approach would feel grossed out or insulted
>Even if she were initially receptive she'd soon realize I'm a socially retarded loser who doesn't meet most of the minimum expectations she has for a guy
>If she rejected me I'd never be able to be around her again because I'd constantly worry she'd think I was still trying to get with her

I live in fear of people finding out how I live.

Loads of reasons, depends on the person. If she's a friend I'm concerned that I'll ruin the dynamic, possibly a group dynamic if she's part of my friend group. If she's a coworker there's that but also the concern of being labelled as that guy at work and possibly a visit from HR
Also, there's the finality of the thing. You can fantasize about what it would be like if it goes your way before you approach her, but afterwards when you're rejected that's not really possible, or at least it's an unhealthy delusion. Then there's the consequence of seeing her often afterwards which is only going to twist the knife more. You could cut her out and save yourself some ongoing emotional pain but it feels mean and it's hard to say goodbye to someone
You can never know if you would have a better chance to do it later on too, so you kinda just keep things as they are hoping for some kind of sign she's into you. There's just a lot to consider and it's hard to put into words

If you were attractive then a woman would have approached you by now.

>Why are you so afraid to approach someone you're interested in?
I would have to do laundry more often

Because theyre not interested in me and my feeling will get hurt as a result.
I think it's pretty straightforward.

All dogshit copes

I realised this about a year ago user. I've talked to a lot of women but I haven't been able to feel anything other than apathy and a bit of lust maybe since my oneitis from high school. I didn't feel much for most girls while growing up either and never understood how guys got crushes without even talking to girls.
I'm pretty good looking and have had some women throw themselves at me but I can never get over the disgust of how these women are only into my looks. Early 20s and I've never been a relationship. I don't particularly care for it in a milestone sense, moreso in a not being lonely sense.
I think we may be doomed to not be mindless coombrains, whose brains fell for the love meme.

I never used to be and it paid off but now I am and I can't tell you why.

I'm an ugly unsocialized sperg, it's never gonna end well
Pretty much these

you two could live together so you're not lonely

Not afraid, apathetic. I've approached so many and been rejected so many times the thought of actually being accepted is alien to me. I have come to accept that I'll probably be alone forever. I can't make myself taller so what can I do?

I'm not afraid to talk to girls anymore, I just never leave my house. It sounds dumb, but talking to girls on 4chins/discord over the years totally killed my fear in talking to them. They're basically just more sensitive and emotional versions of guys.

Because women are not interested in average men in 2022. The ones who potentially were are already taken.
The rest has no need for a man. They have their jobs, attention online, sex from tinder and help of the government.
It shows in how women never go out alone which indicates they dont want to get approached.
They always take groups of friends to scare off any men from approaching them.

Womem are mean
If women werent mean mens approach anxiety would go away

No woman has ever been attracted to me. I don't even need to ask somebody out, i can see it in their eyes. As soon as they see i'm approaching them they give you this look like you're a 5 days old shit on the sidewalk. At this point i feel barely human because seeing a girl you like, and her liking you back, is something almost all people have experienced by the age of 20.and yes, i have tried approaching grills and it's only made me feel worse.
