I worked on myself I started waking up earlier, working harder, reading books, meditating and I started to like myself. Because before I had habits of playing games all the time, watching things I shouldn't, and not living my best life, and by not reaching my full potential I sub consciously hated myself. Ask any girl and the one thing they like the most is a man who has self confidence and they can tell with in 5 minutes (many times even shorter) how much confidence a guy has in him self. When I stated to work on myself next thing I saw was girls would text me back more and wanted to go out with me more. My advice is understand why you feel like you don't deserve love and you would say those bad things about yourself and work on yourself. Also don't desire being in a relationship because there are many problems you don't see on the outside. Just work on yourself and your confidence because when you are comfortable with yourself you don't need a relationship to define you and then if one comes a long then it's even better
Thank you so much for your response. I can relate 100%. Someday I hope to be in a loving relationship but most of the pressure to have one originates from my insecurities around others, as I have quite a few fears of saying the wrong thing, or being "perfect", as well as all the cultural pressure. My reasons for finding love are gilded, precious gold on the outside, but internally there's fear and self-doubting; everything nasty. I guess some of the friends I've had and movies I've seen aren't very positive influences. I can easily say that I've become more comfortable with myself over the last few months but I still fight off painful memories with women and as you could see I get into phases where I don't feel worthy. Hopefully its all in my head. Thanks so much again!
