Hey guys. I’ve been putting myself out there again after a long break from trying. My success rate isn’t bad but I just can’t handle the rejections along the way. I know intellectually all the variables: maybe it was my approach, maybe she has a boyfriend, maybe this maybe that. But it still hits me as if I was the ugly kid that i felt was back in high school (even though since then I became a successful musician and have actually slept with a lot of women). But no matter how many successes I’ve had, I still feel ugly and attractive after a perceived rejection on a level that depresses me and stops me from trying. Can anyone else relate?

PS i know there is inner work to be done but I have seen a therapist for years and sometimes it feels like I haven’t made a dent. Anyway thanks for reading.
