Feel like a disappointment

[Tendencies]

I'll try to keep this short. Tonight was my step-sister's prom and she was having all these people over getting ready together and I am already uncomfortable around other people whom I haven't met due to the fear of being judged, and my dad decided that we should take a drive so that we can get away from all the girls and the hype. As we were driving around he started to ask me if I was going to do anything for my proms and what-not, and I told him that I wasn't sure, and then he proceeded to ask me if I had any interest in asking anyone to go with me and I said no and he got quiet and if I were to type something to represent his face, it would be ":/". I have never been a part of the "dating world" and I feel like a disappointment to him because I am not the big star athlete with a super hot girlfriend planning to have lots of fun in high school. In fact, I am the exact opposite... And I seem to put myself down a lot for being sad because I feel that I should be happy all the time because I know that it can be a lot worse but it is just hard sometimes to get past what I am feeling and sometimes I just can't and I feel like an a**hole cause I feel like I am asking for attention. So sorry if this post is coming off that way..

You're totally not an a** hole! This is a totally normal thing.

You're dad is just kind of disappointed because he probably thinks you are socially impaired or something, which is okay. You don't have to date girls to be considered a good person. Talk to him about it. Maybe you'll feel better :)
