“I’m going to be alone forever”

I’m 31 and I’ve never had a girlfriend. I’ve never had sex, never kissed anyone, and never even been on a date. I don’t think I’m attractive enough for a woman to approach me, so the only way anything would happen is if I made the first move.

But I won’t. I have social anxiety, and the thought of being judged or making someone uncomfortable feels unbearable. I don’t think I’ll ever get past that.

I don’t know what to do anymore. I can’t even seem to make friends online. People I talk to just forget about me. It makes me feel invisible.

At this point, I just hate myself.

Emil Antonowsky and the Most Hilariously Horrific Death in Movie History

Every action movie has that one death scene where you don’t know whether to scream or laugh. Maybe you do both. Maybe you rewind it three times. Maybe you show it to your friends at a sleepover and someone’s mom calls your mom.

That scene is Emil Antonowsky’s death in the original 1987 RoboCop.

I Managed Over $100 Million as a Financial Advisor. Here’s What I Wish Everyone Knew About Retirement.

I spent more than a decade as a financial advisor managing over $100 million in client assets. I’ve helped hundreds of people retire. I’ve also seen the industry fail people—badly—through hidden fees, misaligned incentives, and unnecessarily confusing products. Recently I sat down to answer questions from everyday people about their money, and the experience reminded me just how lost most people feel when it comes to retirement. So I want to share the most important things I’ve learned, as plainly as I can.

“My wife thinks we’re soulmates”

I’ve been with my wife for nine years and married for six. She’s kind, loyal, sweet, and smart. She loves me deeply and believes we were meant to find each other. I treat her well. I’ve never cheated. We laugh together, and on paper, we look like a perfect couple.

But if I’m honest, I’ve never been in love with her.

I care about her, but when we met, I was heartbroken. She came into my life when I needed stability and comfort, and I confused that with love. I kept telling myself my feelings would grow, but they never did.

“My husband’s family won’t help us financially”

I’m married, and my husband is the youngest in his family. Recently, my parents generously gave us 600k to help buy a home, and I’m really grateful. In our culture, it’s common for both families to contribute, so there’s usually a sense of balance.

Because of that, my parents hoped my husband’s family might contribute around 200 to 300k, especially since my husband will also be on the title. They felt this would create fairness and also protect me.

When this came up, my father in law told me directly that he doesn’t have money for retirement and that I shouldn’t ask him for money. His tone felt harsh and dismissive, which hurt.
