Single people, have you found your confidence/self esteem getting lower with each passing year?

Maybe you met one person, or two people, or three, and you talked and maybe you even clicked, but things did not work out.
At some point, did you start thinking, that maybe it's you who's not good enough? Maybe you're the problem here.
Maybe you're ugly, or you're too dvmb or too stvp!d or too poor to find someone who loves you.
Maybe you have a sh!tty personality that repels everyone around you.
Or maybe you're just a b!tch or an ^ssh0le and people can't like you, let alone fall in love with you.

You ever think about that?

And each year you find yourself withdrawing more and more from people, until you have nobody, and no one around you.
So you sit alone, all by yourself, forever and ever.
With no one to hold your hand, or kiss you, or hug you, or support you when you're down.

After three marriages, and three divorces, my issue was not finding or attracting people willing to commit...it was in tolerating them.

After the third ex, whom I once loved, I found myself trying online dating, and no one was good enough. No one was the third ex. He was my "person", until he went nuts and became someone else. I wanted his younger self back...but that person had died.

I wrote to one guy online at that time, who wanted to date me, and he accused me of being a Serial Dater...or...as I called it...a Cereal Dater. I would go on one date, and find something wrong. (Say Cheerio!)

So I stopped dating except in groups with other friends...because no one deserves a Cereal Dater.

@4meAndyou Thank you for sharing that. I'm a Cereal Cat Owner myself. Nothing wrong with that. For the moment I'm with two felines. Now don't give up on that lucky meet anywhere!
