I'm going to tell you the same thing you told me, stop it!

Honestly though I'm sorry you have that fear. Not all men are like that. Remember alot of men don't age well either and probably have that same fear.

That's a fear I can relate to very much, as I get older but the right person won't be superficial and will see below the surface. I wouldn't lose interest in someone for those reasons, so I hope that there are others out there like that too. Unfortunately love takes vulnerability and that's hard AF when you've been burned and made to feel less than.

@SlippingAway The hardest part is knowing the love we're capable of, yet having to be afraid that loyalty won't be reciprocated.

@ScreamingFox I've wasted so much of my life thinking I wasn't good enough for people, when I should have been questioning if they were good enough for me as well. Any one who would drop you for those reasons aren't worthy of you!

Quite a detailed prophecy. Yes it's a risk and I don't fault anyone for keeping their defenses up. I guess it's just putting a bit of trust in the mind that they are worth the risk.

@Benjago I know it's a very anxious assumption, but there's a lot of truth to it that anyone can relate to. People lie and cheat all the damn time. I don't know how to build that trust again, life is uncertain enough as it is.

@ScreamingFox I know. You can do all the right things and still get burnt. Feel like the right person will be the one that helps you work through it. Even with that there’s never going to be a guarantee though. People and circumstances change.

Oh man Fox. I hope one day you find the right dude to where none of that stuff will matter. The only things that do will be how y'all make each other feel and how he makes you feel seen.
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@BillyMack I hope so too. Just not counting on it.

I feel that way because I've had open heart surgery and have a twelve inch scar on my chest. Who the fuck would ever want me looking like that? I just don't know. I know I'm a good, kindhearted person, but would anyone ever think I was attractive ever again, now that I'm damaged goods?
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@HowtoDestroyAngels But you're not damaged goods, and anyone who would look at a scar and think that is damaged in their soul and better avoided.
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@HowtoDestroyAngels I would kiss your scars. I've had a double lumpectomy so one of my tits has a huge scar and is mishaped. It's not something I'm ashamed of, just knowing how much emphasis is on tits makes me uncomfortable though.

I personally find it all attractive if I love someone, but very worried others aren't the same.

@HowtoDestroyAngels Women don't tend to care about stuff like that if you caught their interest for entirely different reasons.

@Bexsy I'm getting there. I have a long journey in therapy ahead but I want to heal more than anything.

This is my fear every day and it is what prevents me from ever dating again.
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@DearAmbellina2113 I think there's a lot of amazing people out there that have been hurt too many times. It's just not worth the heartbreak.

For now, choose yourself. 💙

Opening up to people and letting them in will always hurt, but once you build yourself up, it hurts a lot less to lose them. 💙 We just need to not lose ourselves ✨💙
I have thoughts like that too. I have been out of the game for so long

If he loves you, none of that matters.
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@ChipmunkErnie I understand that is true for some, but a lot of people are very shallow
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@ScreamingFox Yes, both men and women. I think maybe the best is not to have unrealistic expectation s, to remember that no one is perfect, and it's the willingness to understand each other that probably is most important.
