But I started to become skeptical of the religion surrounding me around 5th grade. Protesting going to school mass: kneel, stand, kneel, stand, sit, stand, kneel, stand, sing, give us money, eat this, peace. Blah

It just doesn't make sense that parents who are homosexual AND had a "test tube" baby would then send that baby to Catholic school of all places. Did your teachers revile you?

No. They did it b/c of the state of the public school system in the bay area back in the 90s and they could counteract anything crazy religious I brought home from school, but I wasn't too into it anyway so they weren't worried about me at all there. She noticed I was a smart student with a rebellious but quiet nature. I wasn't lost in their mold. Some of my classmates are using their facebooks as a place to spread their religious messages and soapboxing. I did fine in comparison.

We have some strange similarities

.
I was about to buy my first house at 26 but everything went wrong.
I don't have a younger brother so 4 is... obvious. But the rest is pretty awesome. Including 16. Same here. 40 hours, deep rooted hate for drunk drivers and I have macs (I don't like them, but I own them) but will never have an iPod ;D.

Get outside and do something. I know you say you suck at socializing but today is perfect day to practice since you have nothing better to do.

I'm the same way with almonds. Hands down they are my favorite nut.
good luck with the dieting, i'm losing weight myself because I want to get my swoll on for the summer and be able to walk around with my shirt off if I want.
Yeah i'm not religious but I like to say that i'm spiritual. I like to think that there is something bigger out there than just man kind.

practice practice practice.

You need to thrust yourself into social situations like against your will.

I did that and it helped me so much. I would go to bars/clubs by myself and when you first get there it seems kind of lame to be there by yourself but once you start getting comfortable being in social type areas then you are able to open up and start chit chatting with people.

I think what's going to help you is when you start losing weight that is totally going to boost your self confidence. I'm overweight but I have loads of self confidence so that's not an issue for me. It also wasn't an issue when I was trying to overcome being fail at social situations.
