"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Do you think it's a good idea to be in this kind of forum even if one has been suffering from depression? or should I leave for a while and come back when I'm happy w/ myself? I was in denial before about being depressed and worked hard to become more of a Don Juan, but these past couple of months I have gotten down on myself and am not even really motivated anymore to become a Don Juan. So I guess I pretty much already answered my own question.

But does anyone have any advice for me on what to do next? I've already scheduled an appointment w/ my school's therapist next week to talk out my issues. But I just feel completely lost in the world now and don't have much motivation to do anything. I'm not really sure what I want in life anymore and what to do in my spare time. I've also developed some mild OCD. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I'd recommend securing a good relationship with a therapist before worrying about this site. Good luck with the depression, I know how hard that can be.
