This was the question that challenged me earlier today. I found it in the Q&A website called Quora. It was accompanied by the following information, which attracted my attention, as it sounded just like me when I attained my rite of passage to ‘being a grown-up’ albeit it was earlier than this guy’s.
Since I was a child, I’ve been too serious about everything. I rarely smile and I don’t really enjoy myself. I was weird as a child. I’ve always tried to never bother adults. I was acting shy, reserved and uptight. I am 22 and my life is boring. I have very few friends and never have a girlfriend.
So, here’s what I advised this guy.
