    Honestly self-awareness is the first step to change, and what’s painful is you will become aware before you become able to act on self-improvement, but that’s how it works. I also think those who have trouble with relationships imagine that others are always having a great time but that’s certainly not the case. Prove to yourself that you’re better than you perceive yourself to be, ignore your self talk when you say it won’t happen, and keep pushing. Get help if you’re serious about those thoughts, because nobody should have to fight that battle alone

      I mean, with the person I recently met and was into significantly, they’ve specifically told me they aren’t into me. Though they certainly acted like they were for a while before. And then later we got momentarily drunkenly intimate but they’ve since stated it meant nothing. I’ve also since made a pretty big ass of myself because of the roller coaster of emotions and they’re pretty cold towards me now.

      The dating pool where I live is also unfortunately quite small in terms of people I’d be willing to even be with even in a city. Living in a red state is hell.
