Egos

It's jake_langley with more of his issues with the opposite sex!

I had a weird thing happen to me the other day, I went and saw AVP. Whats strange about that? nothing really, but I went into safeway (woolworths) to get some munchies cos I didn't wanna pay 5 bucks for a bag of M&Ms when i could get a bigger bag for 3, and to get 1.25 litres of Dr. Pepper, again a price thing.
Heres where it gets weird. I had seen a friend who works there and waved to her, and I find out later that the girl on the register next to her actually wanted my phone number! She was actually checking me out! It was kinda strange to know that someone was actually interested in me...

now heres the question.

Is my ego so battered and worn down, that I find it strange that people would be attracted to me? Have I got such a low view of myself? I used to take pride in my ego, and this may have proved that the people who i used to hang around with were actually lowering my self worth? or is that me?

Given what you posted before Jake, I'd say that your ego has been worn down by past efforts that did not get you what you had wanted in a relationship so something inside you decided that you "were not worthy." That's understandable, I'd say. But, also, it means that your romantic neural net had put itself temporarily on hold, at least. Besides, the setup in which all this happened isn't what I suppose you would have thought was a good fishing ground.

Given that you were surprised that the girl at the register wanted your phone number, I assume that she actually was attractive to you in some way ... as you must have checked her out. Thing about this is, again, girls are better at it than the guys are. Girls can check out a guy and not get caught but guys seem to have difficulty taking in what they see in quick glances and end up ogling and, in some cases, drooling as well. Don't ask me how and why because if I knew that, I'd have been far more successful with the ladies too!

So.... did you let your friend give that other girl your phone number

<Edit>

Moral of your story is, I think, there are no "perfect" opportunities and there are no "imperfect" ones either. And here's another oldie and moldie crumble of wisdom .... "When opportunity knocks, open the door."

yes.
yes.
yes.
yes.

you're suffering from low self-esteem tending to clinical depression and therefore find it difficult to understand or accept that anyone might find you attractive. I have suffered from the same mind-set for many years. it's very difficult to break out of the vicious cycle of low self-esteem and rejection.

Then again, you always have the opportunity to matriculate into the Tawakalna Couch Academy of Therapy and have the infinitesimal wisdom of the Grand Mullah wash over you with heady balms of psychoanalytical angst and inadequacy.
