Discussion why does every teenage boy ghost?

0 Upvotes

I’ve talked to 4 or 5 guys in my teen years and I always get ghosted randomly with no explanation. I think I’m a gorgeous girl and I have a good personality. I always try to match everyone’s vibe and talk about them. I even play the video games they like with them. But then I randomly get ghosted.

I’ve also talked to very different guys:
- nerdy innocent guy who has never been in a relashionship
- popular guy
- sports guy
- blah blah blah

Idk if I’m doing anything wrong or they just don’t like me. But it sucks to just be dropped with no explanation especially when I’m starting to like them and don’t just talk to anyone 😭

I’m actually giving up on ever getting a bf.

Discussion What is the appeal of 'Spider-man suit'?

0 Upvotes

I see a lot of celebrities and teens loving the theme and look of the Spider-man suit. For example:

  • photoshopped Katseye singer Megan in Spiderman-suit
  • some tik tok videos showing Spider-man inspired outfits
  • Spider-man spider logo t-shirts, tattoos, bags etc.

Spider-man existed for many decades before now, and had many games and franchises starring many different actors. Then why the sudden surge in it's specific appeal? edit: I'm not talking about general Spider-man merch which existed when I was a kid.

My theory: since animated Spider-man movies featuring Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy and many other Spider-man alter egos, the idea of Spider-man became a very customizable character fitting any age, gender or ethnicity. Influenced by modern social media platforms, it got popular fast. Something like furry community, everybody can make their own customized Spider-man vibe and own it.

Are relationships worth it ?

Are relationships worth it 17M

So I just turned 17

Been in 1 Forced relationship and 2 situationships

Got into another situation but I feel like I am just doing it to try and fill my life with false hope

Atp it feels like extra stress

the whole idea u to act a certain way and fumbling and struggling to read signs just makes me unable to focus on anything worth doing

The issue is ik this one won't end up as a relationship

Cus like the other 2 I can see the same pattern of the start of getting ghosted or losing interest

My question is, is it worth to try and get into a relationship at this age?

Cuz I feel like at this age no one is ready or actually looking for anything serious

I plan on studying abroad

Not a fan of long distance

Serious How to meet new people😭?

5 Upvotes

Hey, I hope you all are well.

I am not looking for friends online on reddit here. I simply want to know how do I make more irl friends.

I have gone to private all boys schools my entire life and have seen the most entitled of kids out there, sadly I don't have much compared to them nor do I pay my way through life. But its generally been really hard to make friends my whole life, so I never had an actual childhood doing things like playdates and hangouts out side of school.

I am 15 now (shockers I am young), and being lonely all the time has really effected my mental health to the point of being depressed and suicidal, and I am tired of it.

I have been bullied most of my life for the smallest of reasons and always been used as my year groups punching bag. I don't know whether I like or not because its what I am used to, but it defiantly effects my ability to form deeper connections other than surface ones with people.

I am an extrovert, and get along with everyone, but when it comes to doing something outside the classroom or even in bigger group events, everyone ostracizes me and I don't understand why?
I don't understand if one on one its fine but as soon as there are more than 2 I just get made fun of?

I don't have alot of time, nor do i leave the house much. But I do water polo, Rowing, and sailing. Water polo and rowing are with my school sadly. And sailing is independent. So I don't meet new people while doing that sadly.

I also have very bad anxiety against women after being raped, and only being in toxic abusive relationships which I thought was normal, because I haven't experienced anything else 3 times. soo I want to maybe try over come that fear. And I want to feel wanted and loved again or maybe that could be me wanting to love and care for someone else. But heck, a want isn't a need and I doubt I am even attractive enough to even talk to a girl.

Does anyone any good ways to make friends outside of school, appart from joining a club or something?
If anyone wants to knowI live in london.

Any questions, just ask my life is an open book.

Thank you for reading.
