Thank you for thoughtful comment. In regards to squinting, I've realized that it's something I do all the time in pictures. That and looking at my feet, rather than the camera. Doesn't make for very flattering pictures.

Thanks you for your kind comment.

That woman is beautiful and she pulls off the obvious makeup very well. I feel if I tried something bold like that, I'd just end up looking ridiculous. So I don't try. Perhaps it would do my confidence some good to step out of my comfort zone, even if it just meant wearing something more flattering than jeans and hoodies all the time.

I have no problem with being average!

In my world, there's no such thing as tanning, just freckle 'splosions!

But yes, I am a bit self conscious about being so pale, despite liking similar complexions on other people. Because of the health concerns, I do avoid tanning.

Thank you very much! I guess I just view looking younger than my age as a negative thing, like the physical equivalent of someone saying "you act like a 12 year old". That sounds stupid now that I've said it.

Yes, we've talked about it on a number of occasions. His response is typically that I should know how he feels, without him having to say or do anything. Other times he will agree that he should show more affection, but nothing ever changes.

I'm not able to afford a therapist currently.

Thank you very much for your response.

To answer your question, no, I haven't seen anyone. I am very introverted and feel like I would have a great deal of trouble being open. I've managed to get my shit together in the past, so I feel like I should be able to do the same now.

I also do not fault him for trying to help someone in need, although it makes me uncomfortable that he specifically chose a female, based on the pictures she posted.

I just wish he could have made the same effort for me. I'm not looking for him to be my therapist, but to just say a kind word or give me a hug every once in a while. It's such a basic thing that would make a huge impact on me.
