"I mean this kindly, but you go round in circles. It’s always the same issues, the same advice. Nobody but you has the power to change things. You’re in control of your own destiny. Nobody else. You. So give your head a wobble and sort it out. " What she said. Get off here and do something different. If you keep doing the same things you'll only end up with the same results, do something different and give yourself a chance. | |||

"Just go to a group social OP approach or see no one just as a sexual target, chat with anyone & everyone & let the evening pass & go home alone.. IMO you need to remove the sexual side of things to work on yourself & what you see as your worth to others to improve your self esteem. I think your sexual confidence masks the insecurities & cracks. If Friday had gone as planned all would be hunky dory with you, it didn’t so your sexual confidence came tumbling & left your insecurities unprotected and we saw the results. You need to be in a place where if the same thing happened it would have a different result within you. S" e.g. over confidence in certain areas | |||

"Haven't we been here before op, several times? I understand that you have your issues. Sort them out and move on. Good luck" How would you sort them out? Like say you have childhood abandonment issues. How would you just ‘sort them out’? I am on an nhs waiting list for talking therapy but it can take up to 18 months and I was only put on the list in October last year. | |||

"I'd read up on over confidence rather than low self esteem. It would go a great deal further in explaining disappointment. x " Granny has a point. Also, try to think on what you are great at beyond sexual attractiveness. Not for anyone other than yourself. As many have said, it’s an ever recurring theme for you. If you’re sitting waiting for NHS support, look at other sources if you think you will be able to listen to advice. | |||

"I’m confused. You were extremely upset over being rejected by a stranger you’d never met but when you rejoined fab you were in a relationship that recently ended but you didn’t seem to be that bothered by that ending?" One of the kickbacks of low self esteem is not just self worth but the worth of those around you. The worst cases will aim for people already with others as taking someone from someone scores more Han taking someone none wanted anyway. So they get a bf/gf for a while things improve but their lack of self esteem if deep enough makes them question why you are with them eventually & ergo because you “Put up with them” you must be a loser so their attention wains & the hunt for another starts again. I lived four years with someone with undiagnosed bipolar, you could pull my fingernails with pliers & the pain would not come close. The human mind is by far the scariest thing on this planet.

" Everything you said in your last paragraph is what you need to figure out. Only you can do that and it starts with learning to love yourself, being comfortable in your own space and on your own, learn who you are without the need of a man to tell you or make you feel worthwhile. While you still have all those emotions in your head, you are going to keep making the same mistakes. | |||

" I have no idea how you would sort them out but it seems you've taken the first steps by getting a referral. I *know* it isn't as simple as just sorting yourself out but I genuinely am at a loss to know what you're after by asking the questions that you do. I understand that childhood abandonment issues can have a huge knock on effect in later life, perhaps more than you or anyone else on here would realise. I also understand that repeating the same behaviour over and over will bring the same results. As I say, I wish you luck in your search for peace | |||

" See, you’ve nailed it right there in that last paragraph. Thinking straight to the negative is a warped version of self preservation, but it also hugely damaging. Don’t sit and wait for the NHS, find other avenues of support (not Fab obvs) and learn to accept some help, it will benefit you in the long run. | |||

No, I shouldn’t have done the sexual talk with this guy or sent him pictures but my head is just scrambled. Like I know I had those issues already from my child hood but you know all the court stuff from 2016-2019, 32 times in 3 years I represented myself both in court and the admin side, all to protect my child. It took all my strength and that’s no exaggeration. I’ve got nothing left. GP said I have PTSD from it and that’s without all the shit I already had. Like I feel exhausted. To get up everyday for 3 years and try and keep happy in front of my kid and go to work and run a home and all that bull shit. Now it’s done I feel like I need to be looked after and protected and it’s like I’m looking for closeness from anyone and each time I get knocked back it’s making me worse. It’s just fucked like. Will I find a guy that will be like okay so you’ve had a bit of rough time the last few years and I know that a shitty childhood can affect how you are as an adult but fear not, I will reassure you that I won’t leave you and I won’t make you question how I feel about you cos I’ll tell you all the time! | |||

"When I’m attracted to the guys that I’m attracted to they just ain’t gonna put in the level of care I need, especially in the early days because the guys I’m into have a plentiful supply of women. The facts are, if a guy has 10 women all reasonably attractive, he’s gonna go for the one that’s the best to be around. I’ve seen first hand how a persons behaviour can change how someone feels about you. I was seeing a 29 year old gorgeous guy until recently. I was his childhood and teenage crush and was constantly saying he couldn’t believe he was able to kiss me and have sex with me and the boy couldn’t last longer than seconds when we had sex. BUT my issues that I have made me react and kick off in ways that a normal well person wouldn’t do and it changed his perception of me, I could see it happening. There was no doubt that he wasn’t attracted to me still but because of my behaviour it didn’t matter how much he fancied me. I could be with a guy today now if I clicked my fingers he would be there for me and adore me and not hurt me at all, he knows all the shit and gets me and what I need. I don’t have that initial attraction to him though but maybe I have to be with someone that’s good for my soul. I’m attracted to fuckboys, beautiful looking guys and I can pull them but they ain’t gonna invest in me when they could have another bird that don’t have my issues. " In addition to the fucktoy vs ‘devoted but dull’ options you have identified, how about the ‘single learning to love myself and make good choices’ option? | |||

I’d rather be on my own than with someone who isn’t right for me. Do you really think ‘best treatment’ guys are going to make you feel better ? I’d look at that again based on all of your own comments made here and in other threads | |||

"To know the context read the first post in my ‘Stood up’ thread. I was in a hell of a mood yesterday cos of Friday night. I know it’s not normal to get that upset. Like I’d planned on doing my cleaning yesterday day and I didn’t do nothing other than cry, eat chocolate, watched black hawk down and bought a pack of fags when I’m normally on a vape. Yes I’m due on in the next couple of days so I’m hormonal but it really isn’t normal to take rejection so badly as I do, it does go hand in hand with having no self esteem. How do you build that shit up? Like I’m confident in how I look, I don’t sit around thinking oh I’m fat or nobody fancies me. I know I’m attractive, but that doesn’t go hand in hand with high self esteem. Is that a bizarre combination? So to clarify, how do you build up your self esteem and should I put myself back out there again or just retreat into my shell and not bother? I know moving forward that I won’t engage in any sexual chat and won’t send any pictures of myself in future when speaking to a new (non fab) guy.

" The way people look doesn't always matter, Mr Ruggers was not what I would have considered my type of who I normally went for. We clicked, we fell in love. He was obviously my type Get to know people for who they are rather than what they look like if you are looking for a relationship and try and work on your issues that you know you have. | |||

" After reading a few of the comments on this thread and from others I really want to ask you if you've had a good length of time being single? I had two years at one pount where I was very isolated, had no family and was shunned by neighbours over something trivial. And I have to say it was bloody hard at first but it ended up being one of the best times in my life. Got to know myself so well and learned what I would and wouldn't put up with. I also learned that I could survive being isolated and came out the other end having some really good people in my life. When they say you have to learn to love yourself before anyone else will it's true. I'd highly recommend it. Learn your strengths and weaknesses. Learn you. The rest soon falls into place. I also have a shitty childhood story, a dysfunctional family background and a shitty ex story. You can get past all of this. Belive me. | |||

" You sound like you are pinning all your 'cures' for how you are feeling and your emotional issues, upon finding a man. A man will not be the 'magic cure'. You need to work on the issues you are having yourself. You need to find happiness and peace within yourself. Learn to love yourself, let go of your past, and move on to a brighter future. If the NHS have a long waiting list then try to pay privately to get the help you need. You can't sit around just waiting for things to get better, you need to be pro active. We genuinely hope you can find a find happier place and contentment with yourself, then perhaps look at finding a man to share your life with, but you have to come first. Good luck. | |||
