Is it okay to be 22 going on 23 and still a virgin who has never had sex or a girlfriend?

[WritersBlock00]

Unfortunately this is my reality but I'm taking steps to put myself out there by joining college clubs and getting involved with different social settings to meet more people. Some things in life don't come easily and I fully accept that this is part of my life. But it is important to believe in yourself. Because let me share something with everyone here, all of the pressure to find love and all of the stuff I've read on the internet? It does affect me mentally because I'm pushing myself to be something that I'm not and it causes me incredible stress. I stay quiet about it and don't even mention it because I'm afraid of being judged. Even with these issues in my life? I still have the courage and strength to inspire others and help others. Because I'd rather die knowing that I held true to these ideals of kindness, courage, and independence than die with a heart full of regrets and reasons to believe that I wasn't a good person.

I will admit that I am on the Autism Spectrum but I love talking to girls and other people too. I got Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and a little OCD. But I'm still here standing and surviving with positivity.

Some people may not want to be vulnerable because they get judged and I'm here to say that after you've been through the wringer a dozen times? You get used to things and your mission, that passion in my soul only ignites because it pushes me harder to fight for what I believe in. I'm willing to go down fighting for goodness, fighting for the safety of my family, the ones that I love, the people that I wish to show my true heart to, It's something I feel like I have to do because I can be different in a great way by committing myself to these ideals. It takes extreme confidence and courage to admit that you are willing to be vulnerable so you can live your dream of living that life that makes you feel proud and unique. I have no regrets about doing everything I can to help others, even if they don't listen or see it?

I'm just like you just older. In my experience it's just fine. Look at what you don't have to deal with. No one nagging you for cash, being cheated on, no kids to take care of, no STDs, a life to yourself to explore the world and life And gain knowledge. Women suck these days. I'm 38 And in your boat. I just gave up and have never been happier. If you really want sex save some cash and go to Amsterdam.

It's worth waiting for the right person. I'm telling you, it's better to be with someone who you really care and love for than be with someone just to say you had sex.

[Hellraiser1984]

What if no one ever loves me. Then I just am supposed to give up on sex.

You don’t even have to leave the country (if you’re in the US) prostitution is legal in Nevada haha

From your original post and comment responses you seem like a genuine and great guy. The right one will come along for you. Just keep being positive and kind :)

[Guy13]

Sounds like a Blessing to me.

I've embraced positivity thanks to Sonic The Hedgehog music of all things. Life works in strange ways and I don't feel the littlest amount of shame for finding meaning in my video games and my music. I'm saving myself for the right person because I cannot allow my body to be damaged by someone who tosses partners aside like toys. I have to stay true to me and who I am is someone that wants to do everything that I possibly can to make this world a better place, even if it's a tiny impact. It doesn't matter to me. Just showing that it exists within me is enough because it's prove that it exists.

I had to go through so many destroying moments of sadness and despair before I finally matured enough to realize that I had so much in my heart that I can do with. It's a unity within and it's hard to explain. But that insight and sheer drive to live with my ideals is there.

It for sure is ok

[LazerBean]

Yes.

[WritersBlock00]

You agree with what I said?

[LazerBean]

I answered your title question

[WritersBlock00]

Thank you.

[Lilchoco69]

@lazerbean Use complete sentences when you a answer questions. I know you may think its "smart" to answer using one worded responses. Then want to feel good by saying "I answered your title question" to somebody who responds for clarification. "Yes." Is not a complete sentence. That's why he forced to ask you for clarification. Something that easily could have been avoided. You are getting way too old for this.

[LazerBean]

All it required was a simple yes or no answer. I'm sorry you're too simple and require everything explained explicitly to you.

[Lilchoco69]

I'm sorry you're too stupid to understand that if it "required" just a yes or no, @writersblock00 wouldn't have NEEDED to ask you "you agree with what I said?" For clarification... It is clear you are stupid. Next time, understand everything I write before replying girl... you won't embarrass yourself next time.

25 seems to be the panic button age

Seems to be more common in modern times

Sounds like torture, but each to their own.

Sometimes things happen in life and you have to accept it. It's not worth constantly despairing that I haven't found someone yet. Whoever does find me? Will be extremely lucky because I'll be there for them and love them with all the love in my heart that has gone unexpressed.
