    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me wanting love in my life.

    @Homulilly Do I have to give up wanting a girlfriend to ever come into my life to do so?

    No. (You're not asking me, but I'll tell you the simple answer to that anyway.)

    No, but it looks like you’ve expressed difficulties getting a girlfriend. If you want a girlfriend to fulfill your need for love, you could try to fulfill that starting with yourself.

    You're feeling stuck.

    And I wish I could get unstuck if that’s possible.

    Yes, thoughtful effort can produce changes.

    I don’t like it when people downplay my struggles just because I am a man and claim I can just open the door and leave home without trouble.

    I can’t even play blues on the guitar despite feeling the way I do.

    You're expecting to be able to play blues based on the fact that you experience the blues/unhappiness?
    Markness
    Would those who dislike me ever consider giving me a second chance?

    Then those people don't matter. Why be subservient to those that despise you? You are setting yourself up to be a victim, are you not? Therefore, you are making a conscious choice to be abused on many levels. Try to learn from those mistakes and move on. You can be as strong or weak as you want. Your choice.

    @StormHess has a great point. Some people don't like us. It happens to NT's also. I don't like everybody. It doesn't mean that they aren't great people. Liking someone is subjective not objective. Just art work. I like that picture, it's my fav colors. I hate that pic, it reminds me of something.

    Why do I keep getting dead ends at everything I attempt?

    I feel like I should be better at certain things and that something is wrong with me when I can’t excel at them. I don’t know exactly why my thoughts go this way.

    That idea is addressed in the book about rational living. The non-rational idea that "One absolutely must be competent,, adequate and achieving in all important respects or else one is an inadequate,, worthless person."

    It's not how many times you get knocked down...it's your ability to get back up that matters.

    Why does it seem like it’s ok for others to dislike me?

    Yes, I can see that I was not careful enough in designating what I meant when I used the pronoun "it." I was asking whether you knew lots of people who DO enjoy/delight in being disliked.

    Markness
    I don’t.
    Markness
    The assistant supervisor I don’t like chewed out someone else at work and made them say they were “done.”
    Markness
    I wish there was a way out of this vicious cycle.

    There is. Through thoughtful effort.

    If I can get out of it before I am 40, I want to know.

    You sound motivated.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the people I don’t get along with at work are trying to drive me away on purpose.

    I want to but getting another job is not easy.

    That's true. People do gang up on others to get them to leave, I have experienced that many times for many different reasons. Now that you stood up to your boss, her flying monkeys are coming in.

    Try sticking it out, but check university- they hire. Maybe think about training for something else? You could apply for a lot of stuff at a university.

    The appointment is over. It was difficult to get through.

    Rephrasing the post appointment impression as "well that's done, I made it" will help

    I have to get up early in the morning for my endocrinology appointment.

    I have to arrive by 7:45. It takes time for me to get ready and I have to drive a good distance.

    That would be a very early appointment for me. I try to have no appointments before 11AM. And that's still pushing it because of how long it takes for me to eat breakfast. No matter when I get up.
