    id just tell them ..what are they going too do sack you.?. plenty of easy volunteering's jobs around .. red cross shops and all that. and you can have a nose what people bring in... come to think of it I might do it after I sort my own house out.. haha

    You know what

    Volunteering isn't about "easy". It's about doing something to help others - and getting something back. Now, I fully agree that you have to be careful you're not being taken advantage of (although there are very few charities who have volunteers that do that - in my area, anyway) but I don't think it's a great idea to be comparing yourself with others in the organisation. Just think about how you are helping - and being helped

    I mean i know i am getting better but i still get very upset because volunteering will not make me any money. And i need money to replace the things i broke, i actually went all the way and scratched all of my DVD collection so i have nothing, i felt so worthless and stupid but now i am thinking why the Hell did i do that.

    I mean i don't even know how i could replace the collection i once had, what if i meet someone nice and they want to watch a movie, what would i say to them?

    I am feeling happier and i know things will improve in the future and that somebody will hire me and love me for being me

    On your last thread people told you, no woman expects you to have a dvd collection. Very few people even watch them now, you just find a stream for whatever you want to watch.

    Oh yeah i know that but its still more comfortable sitting on a sofa watching a DVD rather then watching on the internet. How would you be able to watch sometime on a stream in comfort.

    Anyway I was just saying i feel a bit better now and i know that things will improve

    Netflix.

    You can hook it up to your tv using various things, Amazon fire stick, Apple TV.

    Not free, but cheaper than a DVD collection, takes up less space, and constantly changing library.

    Yeah i know that, I suppose it basically me starting my life over again from scratch, not gambling, making money, saving money, meeting new people and friends. Its not easy but i can do it because i feel confident, im not going to worry about my stepbrother or stepsister.

    The worse thing i have ever said is that if i ever have kids then their kids will be better then mine and that is how i knew i really needed to change, i mean i am a idiot saying that, if i ever found anyone and had kids i would be the happiest person alive and i won't care what they look like.

    I will find a job, find a partner, have a family because the majority of people do but i am just a late bloomer.

    No-ones perfect so start with developing friendships and see what develops.

    A big tip, keep your anger in check before getting involved with anyone.
    Don’t be a can’t, be a can.

    San Have you tried local meet-up groups in your area?

    That is a way of meeting people who like the same kind of things.

    Please try to be patient and not force yourself upon people because that can put people off wanting to be friends with you
