Metro said:I’m 31 and I’ve never been in a relationship. I’m even still a virgin. I’m humiliated to be me. I’m unemployed after working over 30 jobs and I live with my parents. I have no idea what to do. Any time I’ve ever come close to a relationship I tell myself: ‘No way would she want to be with me, I’m not good enough.’ I understand compromise is crucial to a relationship but there are certain things I’m not willing to give up such as my passion for video games that most women despise, especially at my age. How do I get out of this rut?
Im quite a jealous person but i keep it to myself
You asked for advice, so here's mine:
Stay single for a while, get your head sorted. I think you might well be affected by your previous ex cheating on you and over-reacted to the grey area of your ex staying in contact with her ex. Maybe they parted amicably and are still friendly. It's a possibility.
But I'm making some assumptions based on the few lines of text you wrote, so I could be completely off target.
This is solid advice. The last 3-4 years I've spent single have been eye-opening, where I've really grown up and have a much better understanding of what I want. Would recommend it to anybody, wholeheartedly.

My advice now is the same as it was then.

“Do not contact your ex” doesn't mean that YOU don't make effort to contact them but you respond when they get in touch with you. Cause, I mean, you technically didn't contact them, right? Wrong. It means NO CONTACT WITH YOUR EX...Just because you aren't contacting them that does not mean you're properly severing. It means do not even respond to them. Do not take the bait to any comments that raise your hackles, pique your interest, slander or cajole your feelings into responding...Every single contact will set you back to a point so far behind that it takes longer to catch up and move on than if you had just severed and ripped that damn band aid off.
It will be hard and sometimes they get offended. Seriously! How absurd is that? They get offended because you're severing from them when they ripped your heart of out of your ass. It seems so absurd that it's impossible, but I assure you my fellow GoonyGoons, it happens more than you think. The ex [that doesn’t bother with these rules], most often, is trying to assuage their own guilt when they remain in contact. It's entirely selfish of them. Now it's your turn to be selfish, stop talking to them and accept things and move on. Severing is acceptance and moving forward.
