I (19M) just want to say I'm not insecure of my appearance. At all. I've healed from that 100%.

I live alone and love going to coffee shops or sitting by the river, listening to music, sipping a drink and having a cigarette. I'm from the Balkans and everyone here really loves just sitting outside and enjoying the day.

People consantly stare at me. I've had a girl think I'm 14. I constantly get asked for my ID (Europe, so 18+). I feel out of place at college. I have tattoos on my arm and below my ear, so I think people think I'm some delinquent child.

I guess the problem is I don't think I'm weird looking; other people might, but I don't care. It's just that I don't enjoy people staring and judging my lifestyle because I'm so much more than what most see.

I (19M) am finishing up my first year of college and relationships seem to be a big thing here. Maybe there's something wrong with me?

There's nothing I love more than being alone. It's such a hassle to approach someone and then have these talking stages. It's unnecessary pressure in my life.

I thought I was asexual/aromantic but I do get attracted to people romantically and sexually.

I guess my point is that I don't see the beauty in romantic relationships. I wish I could change my mind; I even have a crush on a girl in college but I have no desire to act on it. My one and only relationship was with a girl when I was 17, lasted 2 months...
