I don’t date much because even though I have low self-image and low self-esteem, I am very judgmental and picky and hold women to an unusually high standard, and I see it as a form of self-sabotage.
I don’t pursue my career options because I see nothing but failure in my possibilities and prospects.
I don’t exercise because I feel like I will never obtain the body I want.
I make excuses for everything. I avoid everything. I live in this bubble of my own creation and live every day just to distract myself long enough to make it to the next day.
How do I stop this cycle?
