sucks to be friendless

Ok I'm going on 26 and I have no friends. I'm starting to believe something is wrong with me. Ever since I can remember I've never had friends. I've had people I associated with but never that friend or friends that i could go to lunch with or the mall or one I grew up with etc. My family thinks I'm too picky, but birds of a feather flock together so yes I'm cautious about the company I keep. It sucks doing everything alone. Do you guys know any ways I can make a friend?

Ack ... hypochondria ... I hope ...

Hand seized up and went numb twice today. On one occasion I could've been lying on it funny, but the other time is less easy to explain. This scared the hell out of me because it reminded me of what one of my favourite musicians who is sadly no more said about the early stages of his last illness. Looked on WebMD to see what else it could be and there are various other things it could be, or it could just be a coincidence, so I shouldn't be panicking. Will have to go to a doctor tomorrow just in case, but how can I stop myself from worrying myself silly in the meantime?

Update: May 19, 2013.
No, I'm not diabetic as far as I know. It doesn't run in my family and I'm not enormous, so that lessens the chances of my having suddenly developed it.

Do you use the "watch list" feature?

It was kind of neat at first but I never use it anymore ...

You?

Arranged Marriages and evolution

Do you think cultures that practiced arranged marriages actually developed a gene pool that is less fit than cultures that don't? Attraction draws people who compatible genes together. Denying that prevents better genes to pass to the next generation.

Spent some time today, reviewing my life on AO

I didn't go back page by page, but did go back using the *older* key...for some years, and read only posts on that page.

I relived some of my *stuff*, but came to realize, this girl isn't much different than *that* girl. My beliefs are still one and the same, but my situations have differed some...and I think I've grown in some ways. Anyone else ever done this? If not...Its sorta kinda fun! :D

Does that mean the "zombie apocalypse" isn't happening?

Why can't I meet a normal guy?

My friends laugh and say that the guys I date make them feel better about their dates or husbands.
One guy I dated we broke up and two weeks later I received a wedding invitation in the mail.
Another guy at 23 was a huge Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift fan. He once wrote in the sand I love Miley Cyrus. (He isn't being funny either. He really does). This guy moved and never contacted me again.
One guy at a restaurant stuck straws up his nose and pretended that he was a walrus. My parents were there. He was a nice guy but really immature. I felt like his mother and not his girlfriend.
A guy that thought there would be a zombie apocalypse any day.
I haven't been on a date for a while. I am/was vulnerable. Met someone and seemed really normal. However, he was far from normal. The first date went horrible. Told me he had a great time but asked if his nervous energy turned me off and he begged for a second chance. He would only text me once a week at weird times. I am pretty sure he has a girlfriend.
These guys are not horrible or mean in anyway. They are nice guys and very respectful to me. They just had issues.
Now the other guys are that hit on me half the time are just plain creepy and mean. These guys I just smile and excuse myself and get the hell out of there.
I don't mean to brag but I have a lot going for me. I have a good job. I am in charge of a department at work. I work with the public a lot. I am involved and asked to belong to many community groups. I help out with the economic development and growth of the community. I work with an after school program to help keep kids out of trouble. I own my place. I graduated with a 3.5 GPA.
I feel like I succeed in every aspect of my life but my love life. I have never had a relationship that lasted more than 6 months. (Believe it or not it was walrus boy.) I live in a small town so everyone knows my business. The women in town are constantly asking "Why haven't you found someone?". I don't know what to tell them. I just shrug.
Right now feel like throwing in the towel and just accepting the fact I am not going to find someone.

Has anyone tried a seaweed or comparable wrap for weight loss.

I'm posting this question anonymously because it is a little embarrassing. I've put on some weight around my stomach/waist. I've never really had weight there even after childbirth. Has anyone tried seaweed wraps, herbal wraps etc and id so what were your results? I read about it in a magazine and thought it might be interesting.

I'm exercising daily, doing portion control etc but thinking of giving this a try also.
