I have a feeling it wouldn't matter if I actually met them it would still end the same
Texting and emailing and chatting on yahoo are okay but they are not intimate. What I mean by that is face face to face in life conversation. Its impossible to "get " someone when you cant see their eyes and hear their voice influx and also read their body language. Its huge!
Id encourage you to step up your game and ask them out for a soda asap before too much texting and stuff occurs.

How do you know you are pessimistic? Did someone tell you this? Or has this been something you have been saying to yourself, over and over again?

It's about perspective.
Well im obviously pessimistic if I assume im pessimistic

I get social anxiety. Im fine talking with them if I met them online and I know a bit about them. But at get together im usually in the back round. Im also extremely awkward in real life due to my autism
Social anxiety is only going to get worse if you give in to it. Communicating requires a skill set. Practice makes you better and better. I would encourage you to start practicing getting out and socializing. Before you know it;that social anxiety will lesson more and more

I think, you "think", you are "pessimistic" but since you are searching for answers shows you are at least hopeful.

I find that my "best pessimistic" moments are, when I over analyze things.. Over, and over again.. and over again. :(

Time to free up your Random Access Memory (RAM)... finite amount you can process short-term... for your CPU to process..

Free it up, makes life a bit smoother... if that makes sense ;)

I can't offer anything. Maybe if I get a car it might increase the chances but Im not a good driver.
Don't EVER think that what you have will change anything. All that will do is attract vultures who will turn their backs on you the minute you lose a little of those things.

Honestly, there is so many positives in being a single person. Ask anyone with kids, or even a big baby... AKA a hubby who acts like a baby...

When you are single, you don't have to answer to no one, except....maybe your boss and God, of course...and maybe mum and dad..(but we'll talk about that later).

Ive been talking to girls for quite a few years. A good 90% of them stop talking to me for absolutely no reason what so ever. Is it because im not a jerk? Women apparently like jerks.

I can say the same thing too :
I've been talking to boys for quite a few years.
A good 95% of them stop talking to me
for absolutely no reason what so ever.
Is it because I'm not tall and white?
Men apparently like nasty.

Don't try pleasing others, it won't get you any where.

Cars, apartments etc... these are all materialistic things, are "important" but they don't define you as a person. You are more than that...

That might take awhile. My selfesteem has always been like this. Im very pessimistic.

Dont you see that you are defeating yourself?Perhaps you sabotage potential dates because you fall for the lie that you will have social anxiety. . 2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Christ can help you with that. Start focusing on the positive. Every time you have a negative thought about yourself just take it captive to the obedience of Christ. You can do anything you put your mind to and you can change your attitude about yourself.

Meditate on this verse.
Philippians 4:8
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

People like to talk about themselves.
The next time you meet a gal, focus on what she likes and get her to tell you about herself. That is the key! You will find out plenty so that you can say "hey! Lets meet at that place you like to eat tacos" < for example...you see what I mean?

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result...

So to answer your question. Is there something wrong with me?

The answer is, no.

Only problem I see, is that you think there is something wrong with you.

If you think, then you are.

I suggest reading your bible. Get some positive words/pictures of how God sees you.

Its all about attitude and perspective. And since you are convinced you are pessimistic; Is that Christ in you or satan? Which spirit are you allowing to lead you? Read about the fruit of the spirit. You are buying a lie young man. Now the question is: Are you man enough to let Christ help you out of your funk or will you stay in your pity party?
You know when you are busy pointing the finger at the gals, four fingers point back at you. Work on yourself and get your nose in your BIBLE. You need to renew your mind.

We all make adjustments to become the best we can be. AND people naturally gravitate to happy .positive people!

Yes there is something wrong with you... You are fixated on rehearsing/rehashing this internal circular reasoning regarding the issues which are bringing discontent in your life. STOP IT!!!! It isn't good for you at ALL.
Instead, decide to become productive by seeking practical solutions for each problem and IMPLEMENT THEM.
Here is a few to start...
You don't have a car which limits the scope of independent travel.... solution, get a bike, bus pass, subway schedule whatever... even if it's new shoes for WALKING.
You are have social limitations...GO to new places, get involved in church programs to build social skills.
Keep adding to the list and DO IT, .... :D
