My Unrealistic Self-image
I’ve created this self image that I need to be a confident, charismatic guy all the time, and that if I don’t act confident, no one will like me.
The slight problem with this is that no one is confident all the time. And when I inevitably fail to live up to my own expectations, it causes me to question the foundations of my identity. Am I some loser who doesn’t know how to socialize? I hate weak people, and I hate myself when I am weak. I am only worthy of love when I meet my own standards.
