I have given up on relationships as of today.
Hey everyone 26M here. So Ive been thinking alot over the past few days about how I want to approach my life in the future and I think that after all the bullying and degradation of self confidence by people who have told me that im ugly and just the fact that ive never been on a date and still a virgin, I think its time for me to just give up on relationships as a whole. I don't think its worth pursuing anymore because of after over 200 rejections ive faced and the times ive had my heart broken I dont think I can be in relationships . I believe that all of us have our talents and for me I like computers or you guys it can something else but I believe that relationships arent my talents. I lack confidence in myself and Ive been trying to gain it back and I believe it will take time(by age 65) to get it back fully. This is how long I think it'll take, im gonna need serious therapy. I think its best for me to focus on myself now, finish my masters and try to get promotion at job im currently at or find another high paying job in order to support myself. Im planning on deleting all my dating apps and just move on with my life. Its not a good feeling for me but because I lack confidence and don't trust myself however I dont think I will able to support someone else if I can't support myself . I hope you guys enjoy the rest of night and day. I love you all ❤️
@diplomaticBirch7532 hey, I want to say that I hear you and that even though you may not feel like it - you have made the right decision. Not because you are unlovable (because I'm sure that you are) but because your sources of happiness should not be external. You have sources in your life that will make your happy such as your masters degree and so if you put your energy there, everything else will begin to fall into place. You just need to take a deep breath and tell yourself that you trust the process.
