    Take arms, it'll all blow over Prestigious

    I look at myself like I would any other person, and there just isn't much reedemable I find in that regard.

    You'd think that would be a catalyst for a change of some kind, but apathy is a large part of me.

    Mine does too, in a way.

    It's weird, I know my self-worth. But I don't know how much my self-worth matters, and I can know I'm a great person who still could be better (because everyone could) but I'm always terrified that I'm the only one who sees it. That no one else will see in me what I see in myself.

    As a result, I'm overly open which I think may be my biggest flaw in beginning to date someone: Being too open and leaving nothing left to explore.

    I'd like to think I'm a good looking fellow. I feel that way two to three days out of the week.

    I definitely relate to this train of thought, hahaha

    I don't mind not being physically attractive.

    It's the inner beauty thing I'm bad at. I am well aware of how mopey this sounds, dammit.

    Sometimes being a sad sack is necessary.

    Being too open is a negative thing?

    Fuck.

    I definitely think I become friends with people too quickly for dating to work.

    And that's not some way of saying "WAHHHH I'M BEING FRIENDZONED" because fuck that. I just end up putting so much out there about me as a person and how I work psychologically and emotionally that I quickly become friends with others, and when I do, that friendship becomes so valuable to both of us that dating and ruining it is off the table. I'm too afraid to take risks and enjoy the comfort I have in friendship more than I'd enjoy risking losing a potential or current friend by trying to go for dating.

    I don't know. There's gotta be a better way I could put this. I am very bad at wording anything haha.

    Most functional relationships I know came from friendship, tbh

    I'm overly confident if anything. It's probably obnoxious but it makes getting through the day easier.

    No, it isn't. If the person can't take you being open, then you know they're not right for you in a relationship. Honesty and feeling like you can express yourself is important.

    True.

    But from what I've seen it's also the slowest path to a relationship, which isn't necessarily bad at all, but sucks if you're lonely af.

    I'm overly confident and self deprecating at the same time and it's an awful cocktail hahaha

    I've slowly become that way but it's because I've been helped by very good friends (they know who they are) and it's definitely made things easier. Gotta just let people know how I feel and not allow bullshit anymore.

    I don't have much experience in it. I've dated two people who were friends of mine before dating, and both ended terribly. For some reason I've had better luck outside of that. I wish I was able to pull that off, hahaha.

    This is what happens when they let me drink at work, I start ranting about my nonexistent (because I put no effort into it) dating life

    Exactly.

    Also I just don't think I'm in the right head space for this convo. Would switch to mental health thread but don't know what whining I could do there anyway
