Hi Ladies,
How do you even conceive about being high value when you're a covered in red flags? Here's the details:
I'm early 40's, never married, only LTR was less than three years to an agoraphobic x-rockstar, currently graduate school (borrowing $$$$$$ for it), very little money, ill-fitting clothes (very tall weird body shape), and to boot a highly stigmatized STD (genital herpes.) I know I'm a project. I'm trying to change careers and get in a better position, but I have a big hill to climb. Due to severe family trauma mostly due to shitty men I kept men away. I'm 100% working on myself. I'm in therapy, going to graduate school, can't do anything about the herpes except pray for acceptance. I do know I'm smart and I'm funny. But, I'm also in LA, where image is everything. So, am I deceiving myself in thinking I can be high value, when nothing about me is (or at least compensate)?
Please don't tell me to go to the herpes site. It's a joke. Due to lack of standardized testing (STD panels don't usually test for herpes) a lot of people don't know they have it (1 out of 6 people have it, but 80% don't know they do).
