No event that happens to you can stop you from doing what you want, from being happy, from going on with life.
Solitude is the worst feeling ever but don't expect too much from your partner. The more you want her to be perfect, the less it will happen.
And never forget that you can escape solitude from hanging out with men too (not in a gay way), so consider doing group activities, that stuff really helps too. Having people to share stuff with.
Keep it up bro.

thanks bud

Find what makes you happy and go after it. A hobby a job it doesnt matter. Find a community around stuff you like. Develop your self worth and then people will want to be around you more. See a psych, maybe a sex worker who deals with low confidence guys. Good luck brother.
Also, block this cancerous shithole and go outside

that part about "developing your self worth" is the key to social success

Well, you gotta be ok with yourself first or you could find a really shitty person and be willing to overlook almost every single shitty thing about them. Nothing wrong with being single and caring about your own health if the alternative is you build a unhealthy relationship and are too much of a pussy to leave.
But yeah, hobbies and friends would be a healthy starting point for your confidence.

thanks for the advice. you're right i should focus on myself before i focus on a relationship
Wyatt Foster
yeah dawg, meet a chick with no legs on a fb group or something
Levi Nelson
This is bad advice. Someone in the relationship needs legs. It might make you feel good for a while to be with another legless person but only for a while.
Colton Howard
That sounds like a bad idea. Don't do this op
Colton Peterson
doesn't have to be legless. he could meet a nice girl missing an arm or something. just saying, a fellow amputee levels the playing field and removes that specific reason for feeling self-conscious.
Ryan Sanders
op here. that might not be a bad idea. just have no clue where I'd meet another amputee
Dylan Watson
Honestly just neck yourself. Useless cripples are just a leech
Zachary Turner
I would hang out with you user, have a couple beers and talk about life. I'm sure youre a great guy despite being on Yea Forums.
Just try to be yourself, your lack of legs dont define you, its what it is inside what matters.

>>meet another amputee
Google.

Just own it. Honestly yeah people are going to feel weird about it at first because they assume you feel weird about it (which you do).
I had a friend in HS who was in a wheel chair. New people were clearly uncomfortable at first. He'd crack a joke about it and people basically instantly treated him like everyone else. Then talk normally, and don't bring it up again. It can be just a canned quick one liner to break the ice. It says "yeah I know I have no legs, I don't want you to feel weird about it, we don't have to pretend like I do but also we don't have to focus on it either let's talk about other stuff and be chill"
If you're non-chalant about it I promise the only people who would actually be bothered by it are not people worth talking to anyway. They're called douchebags and should be avoided.
Really man don't sweat it.

Pretty gud advice.
Somewhat gud advice, minus the whores.
OP, just get out and do some shit, go for breakfus, go to a mall or some street where they sell shit. Smile a bit, say hi to people - interact with them.
Your disability does not define you. You define you. And it's up to you to figure out who you are.
Good luck, and God speed user.

reminds me of that one porn where the dude gets injured and these two girls come over and are like "we heard you got hurt and missed school so we wanted to put on dresses and let you look at our panties" and then proceeded to do just that.
Do you not have any sluts at your school?
Ayden Rogers

Oh ok..I learned something...maybe ill give you advice then.
I have a facial deformity. Im 25. I had my final surgery in march. Ive had surgeries since I was a kid. Nose ears lips heart teeth, jaw surgery, had braces for like 8 years. Typing this out it seems like a lot..and it was..but the worst shit I had to deal with was kids making fun of me in middle school...honestly..life not so bad. It is what you make of it. I dont look hideous..but its not all about looks. Its how you carry yourself. Girls want to be with someone they can have fun with and someone people can respect. Thats all. Ive had a few gfs since I was 17. Got laid 19. Now I have a gf of almost 2 years and she is bangin hot. She is smart too.
Dont settle. Respect yourself. always improve.
