Hello,

I am beginning to realize one of my issues is self-worth. I know I'm worthy, I just don't "feel" worthy (if that makes sense). There are two things that bring this to the forefront for me right now:

1) I am looking for work and I want someone to want me. To see me as having the potential to be a valuable employee.

2) I am wanting a relationship with someone. I'm "in the dating scene" so to speak (online, mostly). Again, I meet people I like, but it's wanting someone who really wants me, too.

What bothers me is that I had a professor in my past who saw potential in me, who hired me as a Master's student, and then I became overwhelmed by my thesis work. I made many mistakes, they lost faith in me, and I lost faith in me. It makes me wonder... who would want me? Do I want me? Why should someone want me?
