Hi ~ I don't think you're "abnormal." I think your low self-esteem has alot to do with the way you feel.
Do you feel "worthy" of a relationship? Why is it that you don't "expect someone to love you?" Have you had your self-esteem attacked? How is your relationship with your parents? Have you seen alot of relationships fail?
Sorry for all the questions, but just wanted to get you to thinking. LOL Of COURSE you are worthy of being loved!! But since your self-esteem is so low, you may feel that for some reason, you're not "good enough" and that's pure bunk!
It would be very beneficial for you to get some therapy -- a good counselor can help you feel better about yourself, and I'm sure that your outlook would change. Therapy certainly helped me -- my self-esteem was lower than a snakes' belly! My ex had brow-beaten me to the point that I felt I would be better off dead.
I hope you can get some therapy. If you can't afford it, check with your county's Mental Health agency -- sometimes they offer counseling based on the ability to pay -- sometimes it's even free!
I wish you the very best. Take care of yourself, and remember -- YOU MATTER -- you're a good person, who deserves to be taken care of. God bless. Hugs, Lee
