Am I a loser for using Tinder?

I met a cute guy on tinder (I m gay) in October and we ve been happy. I m naturally shy because I was severely abused as a kid. Am I a loser for meeting a person and falling in love with them if it was on tinder.

I was home schooled which means I was kept inside a house from age 0 to 10 pretty much all the time except for when I was allowed to go outside. I had fun most of the time except for the fact that my mom couldn't teach at all and she would yell at me and stress menough out if I didn't understand stuff. Then age eleven I finaugural went to public school but struggled and was bullied sometimes and I was anot emotional wreck. Thenot my family moved again and my dad was a strict Christian and yelled at me a lot and said I was a bad kid and I was home schooled again and then in high school I went to regular school. It sucked. I was stupid and a problem child and now I just want to kill myself. My education was stolen from me.

need to be happier... will this make me happier?

Video games are fun. But I feel like when I grow they're a bit of a waste of time. I have a game collection. I'm thinking of selling it. I won't get more than a few hundred for it. Is it worth it for the sakey of my happiness? They are fun but just a bit violent, even Mario. I feel like I'm achieving nothing out of them. Have any of you ever sold or got rid of your entire video game collection? How did it make you feel? Happy? Angry? Please help. I'm 19 I have $1500 in the bank, I live with my parents and I'm going to the local community college. I'm also really tempted to become a photographer with the money from the collection and I want to teach myself to take great photos. Will I regret thi

I love video games. I love my family. I am 19. I work 40 hours every week and live with my parents still. I am feeling good recently and I am getting less depressed each day. Anyway, I pay my parents the money they ask for every week. But there is just one problem. I have bought in total maybe 60 games this year. Video games. Most are around $5 to 10 bucks each. Some 20. A couple new 30 dollar 3ds games. In total I might have spent 1000 dollars in gaming stuff and games combined. I am going to stop buying more after this week as I just upgraded to the 3ds new xl. I love collecting the games mainly. Am I a bad son? Also I was thinkingoing of becoming a game developer in college. Am I selfish for loving games and spending so much on this hobby? I am going to save more money I just feel kind of guilty. Feel free to send me to a spiraling guilt.

The morning I found out Trump won, I felt sick to the stomach. Palms sweaty. I could smell the smell of my mom s sweet spaghetti casserole cooking in the crock pot. My hot boyfriend from India was texting me. But the day was normal. I am a young man determined to conquer everything that happens within my job in a respectful manner. Anyway, I worked hard. I tackled the obstacles despite my ongoing battle with major depression. Then something happened. At night, in my sleep, I was met with a strange dream. In the dream I was given a gun. I didn t know where I got it or what I should have done with it. I almost shot myself in the dream. Then I woke up and went back to work. Is it the depressing thoughts? Am I a crazy person?

Have you had weird dreams when you were depressed?

I'm worried the guy who calls me his best friend thinks I'm stupid?

I have a friend from Pakistan, and I'm a total white guy. You see, I worry he looks down on me because from what I know, he speaks fluent Urdu and English, and maybe some other Indian language. But I'm a stupid monolingual. I have seriously low self-esteem because of things like this. I also feel like a bad friend for him because I can't speak his native language. Does he deserve to tell me he loves me? Because of my stupidity? Can we have a "best friends" type of relationship because I'm a dumb gringo? I love him to pieces. I'm 18 too and he's 17. How dumb of me. We've also been friends for a year. I feel so stupid.

My younger sister always mocks me and calls me out on things. I'm 17, and she's 15. For some reason, whenever she's being a jerk, I get pissed off and tell her to stop. Then, she says "what am I doing?" and my mom is like, "don't get mad at your sister for no reason."

So the other night, I told my sister to stop when me, her and my mom were on a walk with our dogs, and I decided to tell her to stop, and my mom got pissed off and told me to not get mad. I decided to walk off and walk with my dog alone. But when I got back, my mom was mad and was like, "don't get all mad at your sister." So I stormed out of the house. I know I shouldn't have stormed out, but now my parents hate me to death because I'm overly sensitive. My dad yelled at me and my younger sister is now his favorite.

Another reason why they're pissed at me is because I'm failing two classes. I have a very hard time with math and science, so I failed those. But I'm doing summer school. They think I'm selfish, call me a "********," and they hate me. I've always been the least favorite. Kill me.

So I met this one guy last year. We started becoming friends, and we're now both 17. He's Pakistani, speaks perfect English and Urdu, and this summer, he wants to hang out with me. I feel crazy, because I'm willing to walk an hour just to go see him every day. He thinks I'm his best friend. But I can't speak Urdu. I only speak English. Is that stupid? And is it too late to start a friendship at 17 and be best friends? Like, is it normal to find a best friend at 17? And is that too late of an age to stay friends for life? Now, can I be his friend if he's bilingual, and I'm only monolingual? I'm white, he's Pakistani. Is that a possible BEST FRIEND friendship?

And another thing: we made this YouTube channel, and want it to become popular. Do we make funny videos? I'm the weirdo in the long black wig.

I also have asperger's syndrome...

My Pakistani best friend, my only friend, is becoming a total sellout. I hate to play the race card, but I m white, and I don t fit in with the white guys. I ve had this friend since last year when I was 16, and I m 17 now. He claims I m his best friend, but he doesn t treat me like I am. I mean, when we re alone, we have great conversations, but when he s with his other "friends," he acts stupid. Like, stupid, stupid. So stupid it makes me sad to see him be stupid. He has told me he feels stupid because they make him act stupid so he can fit in. I m just super sad, because he s basically my only friend. I love him to pieces, but he feels like not being himself gets him drugs and popularity. I m so depressed that people at my school are so close minded and are always on those stupid phones. Now he s on his phone all the time too! He never listens to me because he has to be popular on his phone. By the way, I know I sound annoying. It s just, why do people have to be fake to feel good about themselves? Am I a good enough friend? I mean, come on!!!

I'm a failure. I have a GPA of 2.7 in high school, I have one friend I've only known a year (we both met at 16, we're now 17), and my career goal is to become a filmmaker. I was "home schooled" all of my life until high school. I think I'm dyslexic because I can never understand school work that good. I had a video game addiction when I was 13 and 14, and I realize now that was no good. I want to kill myself because I'm a failure with no talents besides drawing (even my drawings are average), and making little YouTube videos. And video games. I feel fake and I just want to kill myself. My parents are always yelling at me for doing something stupid like not paying attention to school.

Me: I m a white guy who is obsessed with drawing, watching movies, listening to music, and I think I might be dyslexic. I can only speak English, and I have no friends other than the person I m asking about. I am average at math, and I have ADHD. I m not that attractive, so I have never had a girlfriend or a kiss. A picture of me is below. Oh, and I think I have aspergers.

The guy I m friends with: He is Pakistani (moved to America at age three), and he speaks both English and Urdu. He s also a hell of a lot smarter than me. He s the tall Indian-looking guy in the video below. Now, I can t speak Urdu... so can we be friends? Because I can t speak Urdu. He loves me though, and he wants to be my friend. We met last year when we were both 16 too... is that too late to find a best friend?

We re also gonna be filmmakers (if we can be friends). He s my best friend, and he s said I m his best friend... but can we stay friends?

Please help, I have a low confidence.

Update : I m also a poor student. I have attention problems.

Update 2: His GPA is lower than mine, but he s still smarter. We have so much in common.

Update 3: I m also contemplating suicide...

I just recently got into movies. I've seen many, but I never saw it as a career until this year. I'm 17. Last year, I met this guy from school who wants to make movies. We're developing a friendship and want to be cowriters and such... what should I do to become a professional filmmaker? I've been watching movies lately, a ton of Oscar-esque ones. I have this freaky and good idea for a screenplay! But I have badish grades in school because I think I have aspergers or dyslexia. So, what should I do? I'm thinking of buying a camera soon once I get a summer job. Oh, and is 17 too late to get into my future career, and is 17 too late to find a best friend for life?

I'm 17, and I've always hated school work.I think I have dyslexia.I can read, but it always hurts to read long sentences and such. I've always been into other"nonimportant" things like video games or drawing (now I want to play guitar). I am terrible at testing in things like math or science, and I... can you answer this next part too? When is it too late to find a best friend and am I weird? I'm 17. I feel like I've wasted my life on things like video games, comics, movies, drawing. I was unschooled up until high school, and I'm a junior. I started talking to this cool Pakistani guy from school this year who can speak Urdu, and we were in the park after school one day. He says, "man, you know what, you're my best friend." I was shocked and asked, "like, best friend EVER?" He said, "yes." Now, I'm confused, because he's my first true friend I suppose, yet, I have few talents, plus I get horrible grades. I just failed math! But, I get A's in English and Art somehow. I don't know, it's just that my only "talents" are sculpture, drawing, and acting, oh, and writing. I just feel odd, because, well, I feel it's too late to be who I want to be. I suspect I have aspergers because of many things like weird OCDs I used to have when I was younger (like chewing and spitting into myshirt for germ reasons I guess) and I find it hard to make eye contact. Plus, I have narrowed interests. Should I just kill myself because I'm such a fool?Plus, is 17 too late to start guitar?
