Hey OP,

Sorry you are few crappy. How is it going with the girl? From a female perspective here - if you all are in touch, it is cool to say hey I think you are cool want to get a coffee?

Or, hey, I think you are cool and I would like to get to know you. I am not feeling well these days (YES men can say that) ... but perhaps I could get your phone number and call or text you soon?

Do not do the self hatred thing. I have been there and also done the I am ____ of ____ and make six figures (and freaking went off the rails, really).

Be who you are. Exactly at this moment. I am different than you. That is good. If we were all the same, that would not be a good world. All the same. Good job posting and I will look for your reply.

(That above is what my GP told me when I finally showed up for my appt after five months. Have agoraphobia.)

I do hope you feel better. I am not in a good space so please disregard if I do not make sense.

I went for “the guy” just as I am. That is ten years now. He drove me to my GP and was nodding always be yourself. You are special. Like no one else.

I struggle with feeling positive with myself, but I’m old enough to know....this is ME.

xx
