Here's a thought: If you're having troubles figuring out what's wrong with you and keep going back and forth on what the problem is, it's very possible that there isn't one.

Generally when looking for problems to solve in Inner Game you should have concrete experiential evidence that there is something wrong.

When looking at your inner game you should always look at the big picture. Is this problem really holding you back? Is it perhaps something that you already solved before? Are you just looking for perfectionism? Maybe there is something else you can put your energy and attention to, and get greater results from it.

I have assumed there is something wrong with me, when in fact there isn't? I have created my own problem. I am my own worst enemy. Really makes me think.

Once you see this, you'll change your mind about a few things:

“Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.”

Good insight! In the past upon failing with women I would ask myself "what was wrong with me". I was more addicted to feeling sorry for myself than solving anything. Trying and failing is a part of life. It's us that choose how to deal with it.

I think I do this to myself, and after the last two weeks events even more so.

I've been inexplicably feeling a bit low this week. You might have pulled me out of that with this statement. Thanks a ton!

Or maybe your indecision is the problem and you're spending more time thinking about it than improving yourself in ways you know you can.

If it's true then what is the solution?

I'm really trying to accept this notion yet every time i think things are going well and the girl doesn't seem interested for more than conversation it hurts and i still try to figure out what was wrong with me to have made that happen.
