hey, well im 18 and I'd totally kiss u, you dont seen very self-consious... you should just go out to a club, it sounds dumb to go out alone, but the best way to meet new people, is when you dont need to pay attention to people you r already with, striking up a convo can be difficult, so practice what your going to say in your head 4 or 5 times before you say it. be brave, and dont think about your appearance, if they are talking to u, obviousl they dont care! and if you dont have the courage to go otu alone, ask a relative, family members are really good for getting you ready for social situations. they can help you dress, and give you advice that is more personal, since I dont know u, I cant really give you any more than this.. so good luck
About being too late - nothing is too late. I had my first kiss when I was 19 and first had sex when I was 21. I was extremely shy in high school, didn't like my appearance and didn't go out. The best thing that happened to me was I started accepting myself the way I am, and now, three years later, I go out a lot and have a boyfriend, and guys are always hitting on me. Nothing in my appearance has changed much, I even put on more weight on my already curvy body, haha. Confidence is what did it, it can turn your life around! People start respecting you a lot more when you are confident; they trust you more and are attracted to you more. So start practicing your social skills little by little. Be brave. Talk to people. Smile. Be friendly and approachable. Don't be afraid of yourself. Open up and work on it, and soon it will happen 






Loneliness - need help
I am male, 19, very soon to be 20, and I have no life. All I do is go to school and work. I have very little friends, never been to a party, never dated, never done anything fun in life. By not having a life, I am beginning to feel very lonely in life with no friends and no girlfriend. I know some part of me being lonely is that I am shy and have a hard time accepting my appearance. I am shy around anyone but I totally lose it when I am around girls. I can never have a conversation with anyone because I constantly think they are judging my appearance. I am 6'3', skinny, wierd nose becuase I broke it, still have some acne. My wish is to have friends to go out with and one day to have a girlfriend in life, but being 19 and never been kissed, never dated, never gone out, I some how doubt that I can ever be with someone. I think being my age it is to late. Out of all of this, I was wondering if anyone has any advice for me to help me get over my appearance and for me to be able to talk to people, especially girls. I just want to be like a normal person my age and that is to have fun. Thanks for anyone who gives advice.
