So I posted in the prayer forum, and someone suggested I post in this thread instead. So I'm gonna copy/paste my post:
Why does it seem that every time I meet some girl and think, "Wow, she's really something" and begin taking steps to move forward in a relationship, I begin to have such negative feelings about myself? My coworkers and acquaintances have absolutely no idea that I have such low self esteem, only a hand full of friends. But why can't I seem to do anything about it. Nothing ever changes. Meet someone new (ironically a coworker's twin) and things go great but I doubt myself the entire way through. I can't start or carry a conversation (somewhat in person but none at all via text/chat format).
You can pray if you wish, I would just rather understand why I am the way I am. Perhaps someone out there will know what I'm talking about or know someone like myself.
