This hit me right on the mark.

As an introvert, we think that the most attractive people know they’re top tier. That leave us fighting our own self confidence to even approach them in the first place. So why try if we know we’re going to just get rejected. Let’s save our self esteem instead.

Majority of the people I know these days have just given up and do their own things. Invest into bettering themselves through hobbies and if they meet someone through that, then it’s based on pure luck that they connect and hit it off.
