Also wanted to add, that if you are seeing a therapist, I would suggest discussing your triggers (if you haven't already) it seems to me you put alot of weight on the approval of others, which inadverdantly sends you into a tailspin. I'm sure that if you do some self-esteem work, you might be able to lesson the impact of these kind of triggers, and the less triggers for us the better hey? I stand by what I said tho, give dating a go
