Defeated By Dreams

...See more One of my more magnitudinal issues is coping with the racing thoughts of being single, unwanted, invaluable in the romance/dating paradigm, etc. etc. This morning I woke up from a dream where I met a lovely woman who was attracted to me. Of course I had to wake up, and keeping the racing thoughts at bay has been challenging. Is there anyone here who knows how this feels? How do you pick yourself back up? How do you tell yourself, "I'm worth love and affection" when no one looks at you in that way? My inquiry is not limited to those questions. Any help in the form of instructional action would be great. Cliche/Nice words aren't that helpful for me.

Are my concerns/feelings not worth help?

...See more I've been searching for that woman that I can share my life with in joy and love all my life. I flirt well, woman seen to like me until I ask them out. At that point it's just 'no's all the way down. Friends and family keep saying there's nothing wrong with me, but if that were the case wouldn't someone have chosen to be with me. The worst part is no one wants to help. I'm around coupled people that say "relationships aren't important", yet they're in relationships. Is that not hypocritical? I clearly can't do this on my own, how do I get the people around me to help me find someone that will love me the way they did. I'm tired of being a failure at life.

...See more I'm 5'7". I don't have interest in the "popular" culture/media. My experience with women has been between: "I'm not interested" and "No sweetie, sorry". Should I face facts and give up?

How does one "self-love"
Relationship Stress / by AmbivalentGrin

...See more I'm new here, so forgive me if I'm dying this wrong. I grew up genuinely happy up until high school when I started getting teased for not having a girlfriend. I've been striving to alleviate myself of that shame, to no avail, for at least 10years now. The concept of turning to oneself for love sounds like resignation and a method of propagating delusional thinking of said self. Clearly there's a big hurdle to get over within me, but I don't know how to start. Help?
