A Changed Life With A New Girlfriend Plus A Ghost

Jack was 23 and lonely at home on his computer. He was just browsing like always and sighed. Why was he so far away from his family? It wasn't fair, especially because of his condition. He had social anxiety disorder. It means he's an extreme type of shy, like-sweating, heart pounding, and shaking in social situations-shy. It all happened during his age of 13 and Jack was talking to a girl he really liked. He was good friends with this girl and one day she complained about having her period and suddenly

"Oh my god, if I was your boyfriend I would so talk to you and cuddle with you when you're on your periods."

Jack said it a little too loud and everyone laughed and teased him and he had the nickname "Bloody Jack" for a while. Lots of people also picked on the girl as well.

Jack pretty much went too far with that one.

The girl never spoke again to him saying that it would be awkward.

Poor Jack would always worry of saying awkward things like that. He would try to talk to people but that experience pretty much embarrassed him and caused him this new social phobia. Now he would never look at people in the eyes, start sweating and shaking...one time he actually started tearing up.

Jack was now lonely and can only message his sister from time to time when she's not in a business meeting or something. Jack's sister was the one person he really loved and would die for and can actually act like himself when around her. Because of Jack's problem, His sister would always be his voice around people. Now that she is gone Jack would only go shopping like three times a month-one time only once a month and surviving on ramen noodles. Jack's sister, Sally, had to move away because of her new job and she loaned her money to her parents and now they just go on vacations. So yea, Jack is what he calls himself "forever alone."

Jack stumbled upon another stupid dating website ad. Jack would love to have a girlfriend and all, but he found that a "never happening" thing. He would probably just say something embarrassing in front of her parents and then Jack would probably have to go to a mental institute to not kill himself.

Jack decided to click the ad, not doing anything important at the moment. The website was called "Datingnation." It was free, and there were millions of users. Jack looked around and saw lots of profiles of random guys an gals. Most that reveals lots of skin. And there were a few old people that made Jack's face scrunch. He was about to exit out but his finger hesitated. He rolled his eyes and clicked sign up.

Jack wanted to puke at his information. Eh, he browsed his folders for pictures of him and found one of him with him and his sister's dog (who is with her still). He was sitting on the ground and leaning back, smiling like he was a different Jack and the dog, who Sally called Queen and Jack called Majesty, was sitting next to Jack. Jack smiled at the sight of himself being happy, and selected the image.

Finishing up his profile, he noticed it was getting late. He saved, logged off, and closed his computer. He headed off to bed, thinking how he probably wasted an hour with that website.
