Does anyone else have a hard time believing someone else when they find you attractive?

I'm talking to a few guys online currently because I'm attempting once again to find love. Yeah I know I'm a stupid idiot for even trying and it probably won't end well as usual but I'm trying. Anyways one guy said I was gorgeous and I about wrote him back telling him that's not true and that he's joking right. I just have NEVER believed anyone who said I was because i myself never feel it. I just have never been able to see it no matter how much I do to myself. I was picked on a lot growing up for my looks and to this day it has affected me.

I was picked on a lot growing up for my mind being weird, but it did affect my whole self worth quite badly. That, and other experiences at home.

I understand that feeling, but all we can do is push forward and try to better how we see ourselves.

Please be safe with online, not every word that comes out of people are true, or without ulterior motives. Good luck to you may you find exactly what you're looking for and have happiness :)
