Hello, ParanoidPizza, and welcome to Psych Central! I suspect you have come to be this way because of the reasons the guy gave for why he broke up with you. And fear, of course, that no one will like you for who you are. But as you see, it's pretty miserable feeling you can't be yourself!

I think it is important to have some interests in common, so you will enjoy being a couple, but not everything in common. I suggest you talk to the folks you meet about what they truly value and want you to do with them. And what you really enjoy doing and would like them to share in.

If this matter continues, then I think you would benefit from seeing a therapist to help you get your self-confidence back. And reduce your fear of rejection. Okay?
