I'm wondering if anyone else is like this... I personally have what I think to be a good healthy amount of self confidence, I'm not really insecure about a great many things, and I'm secure enough to admit there are things I am not secure about. However I am confident that I'm goodlooking, smart and generally personable...ok ok I like myself alot more than that but I'll keep it humble so you guys will give me more sympathy. =P
Anyway, I have this problem that I think stemmed from bodybuilding...basically, if I am not at MY best, or THE best, especially in looks, I do not really feel like dating girls...I mean I do, but also don't feel adaquate...not inadaquate as far as the girl I'm dating, as in I'm not good enough for her, but inadaquate as far as what I expect from myself ... I think that ever since I've had the vision in my head of my eventual physique goal, I feel unhappy with myself and my physique whatever it may be... I have basically always been like this, when I used to focus it on grades when I was much younger (before I learned to hate school) I had perfect grades and perfect attendance virtually ever year...when I played tennis (shut up) and wouldnt settle for anything less than a state championship I achieved it when I was I think about 14....
However this is something takes a very long time....and it is also hard to explain...the girls I date or mess around with are almost always very pretty, but it's like once I decide I want something this bad I turn into a perfectionist about it and gain both a more positive and more negative self image ...it's almost as though the better I make myself look, the more I had to learn to do so, so the more flaws I see....
Does this seem really odd? Anyway ever since my coming of cycle coincided with my car breaking down and I crashed because I couldnt get to the gym I havent really been excited about dating or even college girls because I dont feel right about myself yet... (even though I am admittedly carrying on something successful so far with a really cute girl right now)
So after all of this can anyone relate, and what do you do?
