But anyway....
So obviously, I need relationship help. I have tried everything. Except going out in the real world and meeting people. Firstly, I live in a small town. There are no clubs, no venues, nothing. I live a block away from main street, which has three bars, I'm only 20, so I can't go to them quite yet. I'm socially awkward. I have a hard time talking to people, I can't start conversations with people on my own, and when people talk to me, I feel like they think I'm a horribly mean person, because I am terribly sarcastic, and can be a bit defensive.
So how should I go about meeting people?
It seems you may be struggling with not running into the same people in your immediate area that interest you. If you want to possible meet new people though, just do it! Make it a point to smile and talk to people. Some stuff below about carrying a conversation.
You can say, "Hi, how are you doing?" (it doesn't have to sound sleezy)"Hello, how is your day"...
There's some great help out there for people that struggle with the basic of real life interaction of conversations. It's really so much simpler then you think it is, which is probably exactly why you feel you can't have one.
3 easy things to remember
1) keep it simple
2) listen and respond accordingly
3)
SMILE!if your goal is to meet new people in this small town you live in, then do it. If you are looking for someone like yourself and don't think there is a reason to around your area, you will find yourself wondering, "Why can't I seem to be in a relationship".
People are so much easier than you think. Just make is a goal to test the waters, there's lots of fish to attempt at catching!

Grocery store, on your way to work, the gas station is perfectly fine places to practice these skills and even possibly make some friends! I know small communities can seem daunting with their lack of clubs and such. Just go and do it!
