I Emotionally Drained

I know what I want. I know who I want. But I don’t know how I should go about getting it...and when I’m told, I procrastinate out of fear.

I want to be alone tonight. I’m broke and a little overwhelmed.

I understand that my energies shouldn’t be entirely focused on boys but they really aren’t. Some of it is. But I don’t have enough energy for that. I get lazy when it comes to my love life. Also largely due to fear, if I’m being honest.

I’m tired of being lonely but a big part of me feels like I’m meant to be alone. I don’t understand why guys that I like don’t approach me....And guys that I’m not into, do. It’s frustrating.

My friend keeps telling “talk to him! Talk to him!” But he’s intimidating and scary. And I’m a coward.

Yes my biggest problem is, I don’t try. I’ll be honest with myself as difficult as that is...I don’t try or put myself out there because I’m still afraid of rejection like the emotionally underdeveloped kid I am. I haven’t gotten around to handling rejection well (and when you live in the shadow of a beautiful sister and see how she’s never been rejected, it makes you that much more insecure.).

I feel like being rejected would take a toll on my self esteem and I would have to keep rebuilding that confidence...THATS what drains me the most. I’m in a period of remission and I’m starting to feel more confident but i haven’t reached my goal and I feel like being shot down, id have to start from square one. It’s emotionally draining. Too much.

I just tell people I simply don’t have the energy. In actuality im really just lame.

Being that it’s that time of the month certainly doesn’t help either :P

Let's see what you can talk about.

You don't know anything about him, like what music, movies, books he likes?

Does he have any tatoos or jewelry he wears? You could maybe comment on it, or ask about it?

Anything else you've overheard him say to other people?

@IHateMyLife0MeDie I guess these are good things to bring up. Ugh I hope I can find the courage soon. I know every time I see him he intimidates me so bad but when The times I talk to him, he’s not mean like I assumed. I guess it mostly is in my head. I don’t know why I’m so afraid I’m these situations. I guess I never had much experience with guys and whatever I did have, turned out negative.
