Am I kidding myself?

@briseis

You do have to love yourself for others to love you like @balletninja
said.

If you dont think your pretty odds are most people wont either.
Thats probably not the most positive thing to say but its actually the truth.

I go through some garbage too. But you know, sometimes you just have to count your blessings. Surely you have something worth living for. Family? Friends? A certain passion? The possibilities are endless. Something positive doesn't necessarily have to be something physical, but @balletninja is right. You can't expect anyone to love you if you can't.

As Buddy Wakefield says (a bit more of a mature quote, but I think all of us in this thread are mature enough to handle it):

"It takes a long time to make love to people who hate themselves."

@metaphor

I just posted a topic like this.
I definitely agree with your statment.
It's life. And no, don't deal with it, love it as it is 😃

@avelaingia Thank you 😊
It is so easy to say,
but even I need to work on it!
It is a constant process,
maybe even the meaning of life
is becoming confident.

Good tips by the way!
I made a best friend from a strings group
and I dislike playing strings xD

I say stay friends for now. Get to know each other better. The more he wants to know about you the more interested he is. Plus, life is about chances! If you never tell him how you feel, you'll end up regretting it.

You've probably heard enough of other people experiences, but here's 1 more. I have NEVER seen myself as pretty(I'm definitely not skinny). Yeah, I show confidence and I except who I am, but honestly what guy would ever pick me? So then this guy transfers to my school and before I know it we're best friends. As we spent more time together I realized that I really liked him, but I didn't want to mess up our friendship. Finally, I mustered up enough courage and told him. Turns out he felt the same way and we started dating. Though we have broken up for now we're still friends and nothing is weird. I don't regret it because he showed me that no matter how much I don't think I'm worth it or pretty enough there will always be someone who does. Hopefully your guy can show you this truth, too. Best of luck! 😊

Tell him you like him...
Im in the same situation but instead she is my best friend since 3rd grade her name is Jadyn and she is Pure Mexican like me...I've loved her since forever every-time I go to tell her, her sister is around.... Im going to tell her next Monday exactly right during 1st period... Im afraid of being shot down but I'd take a Bullet for her anyways....
