I am interested to know your thoughts on this because today a woman I have know a long time said some quite nasty things to me. Our coverstation which began around work matters turned to my personal life. This is always an issue I try to avoid. She asked me if I had a girlfriend and I said no. Then she asked where I lived and with whom and I told her I lived at home with my parents she went on with the questioning and ultimately came to the conclusion that I was weird, very odd and she suggested that because of these things ( and because I wasn't gay ) that I couldn't be a real man. She also went on to suggest that I was a waste of a life and taking up space on the earth that could be better used by someone else. I would not be too concerned if this was a one-off but it isn't. Over the years many people have said similar things to me.

I have always lacked the personality traits that creates interest in relationships with other people and motivation in general. I find everyday living causes me high anxiety and stress. I am often happy just to get through a basic day of work. It means I am happy just to make simple achievements.

Am I really such a waste of time? Is she and the others correct? I don't think she is because everyone is different and I am very different compared to most. What do you think about this?
