Hey I’ve had the same issue! I still feel this way at 31 so be glad you are figuring this out young. The difference is for me, I know most guys want to sleep with me. I can get almost anyone to like me at first. I just get afraid of emotional vulnerability. I get afraid once I fall for them, the other shoe will drop.

But the basic fear is the same — that they will decide I’m unworthy. This at least started with other people telling me I’m unworthy, that I’m undatable, that people like me shouldn’t be trying to get into relationships, etc. But it’s on me that I listened.

You seem awesome, beautiful, and extremely intelligent based on your writing and photo. I can’t imagine any man not wanting to date you.
