Inferiority complex

Yeah, well, Dudeist said it better than I did; but, hell, he's a monk. I'm just hill-billy biker guy....

I'm just an overly introspective dude...which is why I was stuck in a state of low self confidence for a very long time, and also why I can explain it.

Matticua made a good point: "I learned to enjoy spending time by myself". If you do not like youself you cannot expect anyone else to like you. Energy just flows that way.

Another +1 to that.

You will always get that date when you are not looking, and this is why, cause you need to feel complete before you can go looking for someone else....notice non of my little tips involve women... They will only bring you down further (if rejected) or place a band-aid on the problem (if accepted).
 
Thanks to Monk and everyone who tried to show me what I'm doing wrong and why I can't get off of this feeling.
Still, look, now I can think clearly and I totaly understand this, feel joyfull and free ( happy ).
But still, i'm afraid of those times when i know these words wont mean a thing again, and i'll be shackled..
Ah yes :) Just beeing negative again - I have to CUT THAT OUT i suppose.
 
Yeah, stop thinking so negatively. The time will again come when insecurities hit you. But seriously, whats the worst that can happen? You really just have to make the most of things. You dont want to sit around and feel inferior forever. Do things that make YOU feel good. Like Dudeist said, something that I've recently applied to life, be the person you want to be. I wanted to be that guy that looks good, can rock the hell out of my bass, and has fun no matter what Im doing. I found ways to achieve these goals and Im working towards them, and now I feel great about myself.

Start by setting small goals, something youre positive you can accomplish, and go out and do it. When you start to realize you have the power to do anything you want to with yourself you'll see the potential that is you.
 
Meh, when it comes down to it we really are both infinitely inferior and superior, for really we are this infinitesimally small spec of nothingness, yet as an individual we are composed of infinite amounts of what could be considered universes since everything that has a physical form can be broken down into smaller bits and pieces.

But hey, as my grandpa always used to say, 'take it easy brotha, you'll live longa'
