I am alittle out of shape but by no means overweight.(just alittle beer belly) I have friends who all respect me.

This self image really fucks things up. Its never an issues with guys. I don't care if they like me (even if I feel like they shouldn't). It causes all sorts of issues when there's females at all. I do care if they like me and I want them to but I start out thinking why would they....

Its almost like the only thing I don't like about myself is that not liking myself fucks things up with girls....

I'm fucking crazy... I know in my head its the dumbest thing ever why can't I just tell myself to quit thinking that...
It's ok to doubt yourself, everybody does it and there's no sense in falsely believing you're better than you really are. But the only way to raise YOUR confidence it seems, is to have positive female reinforcement. To get that, you can't let a girl know of your lack of confidence, because it's a huge turnoff. You need to act confident, and point out everything that's awesome about yourself,
