If you’re already seeing this article in full, congrats - you’re already on our guest list!I’m a woman in my late twenties, with a great career, doing well financially and have a great set of friends. My downfall in life is with men.
I know that I am settling for far less in the beginning of these relationships than I deserve, but my self-esteem is so poor I am torn between the potential of a man and having no one. This is not helped by the fact I have been on dating apps my whole life, but I get zero likes. If I don’t take the men I get, maybe I won’t meet anyone else. How do I get my confidence back?You have a brilliant career, you’re financially secure, and you have the love and support of good friends.
But what you need right now is a therapist not a boyfriend. You need to delve into why you want to be validated by men posting you and being proud to be with you when those men don’t appear to be thriving decent humans themselves. They had unresolved issues with drugs, they were the types to treat women poorly, why would you want to be shown off by them? You’re giving so much power to these losers by allowing them to be the deciders of your worth.
