Throughout ny life I have always had pretty bad anxiety and self esteem issues. They have been flaring up a lot recently (27M). I went through a bad breakup and have been feeling very shaky
I've been feeling that my appearance really just doesn't cut it for dating. Then again, my terrible self esteem and social anxiety may actually be the obstacle that prevents me from dating success.
Are there ways to know which one of these it is? I posted to the amiugly subereddit, but just did not get many responses, so that feels inconclusive. The few ones I did get where just simple "not ugly" and I'm worried that if I really wasn't' ugly people would be saying more that I "look good" or "shouldn't be posting here" etc… I appreciate any help/advice
