I'm fairly concerned about exposing private information, however I know if anyone is going to accept me as comrade, it's going to be this community.
Without expressing too much detail, I'll describe myself. I'm young, intelligent, logical, a diamond in the rough. On the other hand, I'm small, introverted, socially awkward and to use that word that echoes dreadfully in my mind...a VIRGIN.
Where do we go from here?

I think one of the most difficult thing to do is reframe your sexuality. I think this is so difficult because society has been telling you most of your life that you should be ashamed of your own sexuality. SOCIETY IS WRONG. If you were raise primarily by women, as many of us were, this problem is compounded. You need to embrace your sexuality. You need to accept that you will have strong sexual desires, and you need to find healthy ways to address those desires.
Another thing I've had to do is reframe my violent tendencies. You may think you don't have any, but that's half of the problem. You are a man and you are prone to violence. If you don't acknowledge this, you will repress it. When you repress it, it comes out in other ways, such as hatred towards women. You need to accept that you will occasionally feel violent, and find healthy ways to vent those feelings as well. Sports, fitness, martial arts, or even some rough sex are all healthy ways to deal with these feelings.
In short, you need to accept who you are - all of it. It's very likely that you've been given the opposite message your entire life. This means it will probably be one of the most difficult things you will have to do.
Remember though, life is a journey, not a destination. It helps to have goals, but achieving your goals will never make you happy. You need to learn to enjoy the journey, or you will never be happy.
