But why then, am I never worth anything more than basic platonic relationships? Why am i so easily passed over by everyone while they search for someone else? Why is there never a real answer?
I ask myself this question all the time. For me, I can only guess, but I feel it's more than one reason. I think it's because I'm approaching things from the wrong angle, not being as good as I could be, mostly because of how things were growing up in school. Even though that was a long time ago now, I realize that I was still approaching girls with the same old self-image from back then - that I wasn't good enough, that I was inconveniencing girls with my presence and wasting their time, like I was a lesser person than them that couldn't possibly have anything to offer. Also I think I need to work on my confidence, personality and identity, and being more interesting. And I need to figure out how to reconcile sexual desire with my values.
I'd say do some deep introspection. Maybe it's something you're projecting subconsciously. I feel your pain on this matter, anyway.
