My situation was not so good, adding the fact that I am submissive by nature, didn't help also. So in a nutshell while in high school I was not allowed to date any girls, because I was told that it may interfere with my non stop studying. I was allowed to go out maybe once a week max, my father also was never satisfied with anything I did and made regular demoralizing comments. All that was going on from the time I was probably 7 till 18, when I left the house to go to college.
Now at 32, I never had a real girlfriend, being only with prostitutes, extremely awkard and shy around women, no regular job, no social circle etc.
However I have to say that I take full responsibility for all the failures in my life, I am just writing this post to see if anyone out there had a similar experience growing up and how he overcome it.
