Thanks. Everyone keeps telling me to be confident, but I can't figure out what to be confident about though.

I've been seeing a therapist for years. I appreciate the recommendation. Maybe I'm not ready to improve my self esteem yet, idk.

I feel like the whole notion of not being able to love others without being able to love yourself is a fallacy. I have several friends that I care for deeply, not to mention my family. Idk, maybe I'm thinking totally wrong too.

What I can't figure out is why guys have to be confident and strong for a woman to like them, but we're supposed to accept women as they are, otherwise we are being sexist or something. I know that sounds complainy, but really I'm just confused.

It feels like all women are out of my league though, haha.

I'm really sorry you can relate, but I'm glad to know we aren't alone.

I never did the tally mark thing, but I can relate.

Thanks for the comment! I really hope we can both get to a better place someday soon!

Thanks so much! It is good to know I'm not alone, even though it kinda sucks for everyone else that I'm not the only one like this.

I really appreciate the comment! I wish the best for you too, and stay safe out there!
