I (28 M) remember in grad school I’d always shy away from conversations my friends would have in regards to how attractive a certain instagram model was. I was just not comfortable in partaking
To add, I found that when I’m at a bar or the gym and if I see someone who I find incredibly attractive, I instantly get this wave of crushing disappointment. I think it might stem from me being single for awhile and not having someone “like that.” I even have no problem with approaching them and making small talk or asking for their number.. Porn oddly does not have the same effect.
Granted it may be from insecurities but I have a lot going for me – I’m active, have a great job, great friends, etc.
​
Anyone else experience something like this?
