It would be easier to comment if you have some form of demo to see and test it.

Thanks for your valuable suggestions. They are priceless.

If you have someone else you can talk to, it may be good to vent to them and get someone else's perspective on your thoughts/feelings.

Yup. I have started to share it my immediate family and they have been really supportive.

most importantly you need to think constructively about it. Think about possible solutions to help you get past this, and try them out.

I was toying with the idea of writing in the form of a blog or short stories for a long time. I am going to channel this depression into creative and positive activities.

Thanks for helping me.

That's the problem. I do not know her husband or his friends. So the chances of becoming a family friend are not so high.

Well the main thing is she is happy. She also wants me to be happy and do great things. I just have to come to terms with this change. I have not lost her. Change in level of interaction does not mean the sincerity and affection are lost. We have had good time together, which I will treasure forever. But I should move on.

Besides she would scold me really bad, if she finds that I got into depression which affected my job and studies. Gotta make her proud.

Thanks. I am grateful for your advices.

This is a change, a big change but not the end of the world. If I just keep trying to improve, no matter how slow my progress is, in the end I would come out as a better and stronger person.

Thanks for the reply. It means a lot to me.

You are right, I might be jumping to conclusion. It is too early to know the shape and depth of our relation in future. But most probably, the level of interaction will decrease, she would be busy in her new role as a wife.

Can you suggest some tips or steps on how to heal the pain of emptiness? It would be of great help.

I know I have to find my way out of this dark pit. I cannot spend rest of my life lamenting on the loss of a beautiful relation. I understand I have too find new friends but it cannot happen overnight. In fact, it is going to take me sometime to become outgoing again.

What should I do to pace up the process of healing? How can I stop this feeling that someone is gnawing my inside?

yup, I will second it. Asana is easy and yet powerful to use. I tried bunch of ways to maintain my todo list, asana blew them all away.

May be you (OP) should look into it for inspiration. Best of luck.

In a public place, she would usually (but not always) be accompanied with a male. A significant number of Muslims believe that covering face with a viel is mandatory. So you are right about it. Dress is not inappropriate.

But I do not get why you have shown her so small in height? If she is a kid then her eye lashes are way too long for her age. It can be argued she is wearing artificial eye lashes for beauty but then most religious females (that I know of) consider it forbidden to wear eye lashes.

Do you really need to portray an accurate Muslim female character in your video on communication?

I think it is great. You did deliver the message.

Nanny for Google Chrome is a great extension if you use Google Chrome. It allows you to block sites for a specific time period on specific days. You can also set a total allowed time for a site for a day, for example, allow only 30 min on xyz site in 24 hours.

It also lets you know how much time you have spent on white-listed sites.

If you try to change the settings, in moment of weakness, it does not make it easy for you.

Man you look fine. But a little weight gain won't harm. In fact from your looks in pic 2, weight gain would definitely be an improvement.

You look great in 1-3, especially pic #2.

since i'm balding in the back, so i just shaved it all and i'm not sure on how I look

I do not think you look good with a shaved head. You might want to try some other hair style to cover the bald spot. How about a hair transplant?

I'm asking for your help because these days i've been thinking on how difficult for me is to get along with woman, so i'd like to know if it's related to my aspect or on my shyness

Judging by your first 4 pics you should not have any problem in getting along with them. I mean if you are currently having problem it might be because of your new look with shaved head. But if you used to have problem even last year (pic 1-3) then it is definitely because of your shyness.

By the way you have got beautiful eyes.

Here is my brutally honest opinion.

Ugly? No, not all. But angry and unfriendly. The look on your face makes you look older than 23, like you have too much worries, too much serious to have any fun.
Yup, head looks a bit a weird. But not "weird as fuck". Seriously man, if you do not have a gf it won't be b/c of the shape.

If you watch SMBC-Theater(they have got a huge number of fans on reddit and elsewhere), look for J.P. Nickel in their videos. Keep watching it. I bet you won't even notice that he has fingers missing.

My point is it is not necessary if one is a bit different from others physically it will automatically turn off others and make them turn away. No! A bit of self-confidence and charm can do wonders and it is entirely possible that others won't even notice it.

Now this one is classy as fuck! Awesome! Those compliments are not false at all. Seriously!

Man, you look great in the second pic. For some reason it reminds me of Jim Sturgess a bit.

As for your fist pic, a hair cut and contacts or a different pair of glasses would fix the look.

I do not think you will gain anything by resuming discussion. You made your point, they refuted with "God says so in the Koran, therefore it is wrong", which means your new ammunition too would fall on deaf ears.

Now to win the argument you will have to go against Koran, so even if you win it will make your wife really uncomfortable, which in turn would affect your life.

My suggestion: do not bring it up, it is not worth it.
