I (17F) find my insecurities within my looks hold me back from getting involved in dating. when i see a guy and think about talking to him, I always worry if he thinks I’m ugly and then I figure what’s the point. what are your experiences with this and how did you overcome it? at my job there’s this guy who’s cute but im afraid he won’t find me attractive, and ik not everyone will be attracted to you but the thought of that really shakes me. i also feel like whenever I’m around people there’s a small belief that they also see me as ugly and unworthy of male attention. if I try and talk to them about it, I feel like their encouragement to go on and talk to guys is just out of pity and not fr. this is really bad ik, but I need to vent and would love to hear what anyone has to say. this also may sound conceited but I feel this insecurity also comes from my constant experience of guys I don’t like (not attracted) like me. Am I just not good enough for the guys I want???? 😭
TLDR;
I fear im never pretty enough for guys im into and it’s making me super insecure.
