Move on, dude. Rejection blows, but you have to remember that there's no point in reminiscing on a failed attempt. Be the best person you can be (without compromising for anybody else's expectations) and eventually a woman will come along with whom you share genuine affection and respect.

Pretty much why I'm probably going to spend the next 2-6 years in graduate school for a career that I have an almost infinitesimal chance of breaking into.

I'll probably be at the same point I'm at now (hopefully with better employment than the current) in a decade but without a lot of debt. I have nothing to lose but maybe my reputation because my friends will think I'm insane for trying to work in an NFL FO with no experience whatsoever.

At some point you have to realize you're swinging a FuNoodle and your place is at the shallow end at the pool versus standing in the batter's box.

It has nothing to do with attitude at this point.. There's something about who I am as a person that's defective.

And if that's the case, then there's really nothing I can do about it beside completely fabricating an entirely fake personality. Losing 15 to 30lbs won't really help in that regard.

My advice is quit worrying about what other people think of you..When you can stop giving a shit about what other people think of you and can really be yourself then your life will become a lot easier..yea it sounds cliché but it is true..whenever you can walk up and talk to another person and just be yourself not worrying about what they think or how they see you then you can really begin to look for the person you are really compatible with

Most people start relationships on lies..being something they aren't..sending sweet texts or talking on the phone all night..flowers showing up unexpected to surprise the other person..unless that is who you are day in and out its a lie to trick the other person into liking you..After a while things slowly slide back into who both people really are and things normally sour

So be who you are..don't give a shit about what other people think and don't try to put on a show to have someone like a highlight reel of who you can pretend to be..If they don't like you for you then they are a waste of your time and there is something wrong with them

I used to worry about how other people seen me..Once I stopped caring and was myself then I was able to let go and talk to anyone I wanted and had way more success doing that and it thinned out the bullshit of trying to talk to someone who didn't really match up to who I would be good with

I'm an asshole..I have no trouble admitting it..If a chick doesn't like that then she can go on with her life looking for whatever she wants..If a girl can handle my asshole attitude and my sarcasm from the start then she can be graced with my awesome and my sweet moves in the sack that will make her life a nonstop ride to orgasm land

Speaking as someone with some experience with self-esteem issues, that doesn't do anything for your self-esteem. Actually makes it worse in the end.

keg in kc 05-18-2014 11:43 PM

To add my own color to this, speaking as someone who's had extremely low self-esteem his entire life, when conversations like this get going, it always strikes me just how little people actually understand what's going on in my head. Now, I can't speak for this guy, but I can speak from my own experience, and maybe the number one most misunderstood thing with my self-esteem is that it has anything at all to do with how other people see me. It actually doesn't. It has to do with how I see myself and where that kicks in with my social difficulties is just assuming that everyone else sees the same thing (aka 'projection'). It's hard to explain or to verbalize, but it's not so much caring what other people think of me as just expecting other people to realize right away that I'm broken, somehow. Like it's written on my forehead. (In my case it would say "loser" in flashing neon lights - that's the word I most often use to identify myself...). There's really nothing rational about it, it's just how I'm wired, and in the end how other people see me never really even factors into the equation. Hell, I've had people tell me I'm great, that I'm smart and funny and there's so much more I could be doing with my life. But it just rolls off me. Because it's not what I believe. All I can ever see in myself is the things that I identify as 'wrong'.

That's the nutshell version. Be happy those of you whose brains don't work this way...

You will never be able to truly be accepted by anyone else until you learn how to accept yourself. Something else I've learned in the last six months. The old me yearned for acceptance by other people for "me". I was willing to change who I was in order to be the type of person they would accept. Now, the more I'm learning to accept myself, the less I find myself "needing" the acceptance of others. Funny thing is, the less emphasis I put on it, the more I find people accepting me. Weird how that works.

Basically a prisoner of your own mind.

I wasn't looking for advice or even describing who I am now as much as just trying to paint a picture of what it can be like. And I think maybe letting the other guy know that there was somebody out there who might 'get' what he was trying to say. I had a pretty good idea of what he was thinking, because I've been there, and sometimes it helps just to hear somebody say that...

The difficult thing with people with low self-esteem and relationships (in my experience) is that we expect too much from them. They can't fix you. Being with someone else doesn't make you like yourself. And beyond that it's really easy to land yourself in a bad situation. You think so little of yourself that any attention you get is gratifying, at least at first. But as the relationship normalizes and the honeymoon phase ends, you start to see everything without the rose colored glasses. Maybe you wonder how you got yourself in the situation you're in. Maybe you hate yourself just a little bit more because of it. But at the same time you stick with it, because, hey, it's the best you can do. At least somebody likes you, so why not let it play out.

Personally, I think dating's bad enough on its own. Adding all that to the mix on top of everything else is just toxic. The words "recipe for disaster" come to mind...

There's no easy fix. I think he probably needs therapy, someone to help him unravel what's going on psychologically. Then, maybe, it'll be time to try dipping a toe in the dating pool. I do think it needs to go in that order, work on the self first. But he will have to work at it. And that's the hard part. It's easier to just stay who you are. Even if you don't like him/her.

There are real geek girls out there. Star Trek's probably an easier sell than Star Wars. Although maybe the Bad Robotification of it will help with that. Or not.

It's always amazed me over the years how many people (not just women) hate Star Wars without ever watching it. Like it's some kind of stigma. Then they watch and it's like "oh man, this is cool, why didn't I watch it sooner?"

Who the F hasn't seen Star Wars?

I've only seen probably 10 minutes of it when I was little

Maybe I just encounter sheltered people.

I had a pretty good idea of what he was thinking, because I've been there, and sometimes it helps just to hear somebody say that...

The difficult thing with people with low self-esteem and relationships (in my experience) is that we expect too much from them. They can't fix you. Being with someone else doesn't make you like yourself. And beyond that it's really easy to land yourself in a bad situation. You think so little of yourself that any attention you get is gratifying, at least at first. But as the relationship normalizes and the honeymoon phase ends, you start to see everything without the rose colored glasses. Maybe you wonder how you got yourself in the situation you're in. Maybe you hate yourself just a little bit more because of it. But at the same time you stick with it, because, hey, it's the best you can do. At least somebody likes you, so why not let it play out.

Personally, I think dating's bad enough on its own. Adding all that to the mix on top of everything else is just toxic. The words "recipe for disaster" come to mind...

There's no easy fix. I think he probably needs therapy, someone to help him unravel what's going on psychologically. Then, maybe, it'll be time to try dipping a toe in the dating pool. I do think it needs to go in that order, work on the self first. But he will have to work at it. And that's the hard part. It's easier to just stay who you are. Even if you don't like him/her.

Correct. I was just trying to give my personal experience on the subject.

Even geek girls are out of my league anymore.

Or they're also weird as shit ones that like anime and cosplay.

Yeah. I was mostly steering the conversation away from me. More interested in anything I can say that might help him, wasn't so much talking about myself, wanted to make sure people understood that.

Sure they are, if you tell yourself they are, and by extension tell them they are.

Another way to think about it which helped me a time or two is to consider how you're disrespecting other people when you do that. You're not giving anybody a chance to make their own mind up about you when you project on them. People can surprise you if you give yourself a chance.

The only way a girl is out of your league is if you believe she is. Period.

I met a girl that was a 'bud light' girl wearing a referee's outfit at a bar one night. all my lame buddies were hitting on her while playing pool. I said something like if you leave, can I go too". sarcastically etc. rest of the night she was hanging aound me etc.

Ended up being my only 'conquest'
