Mystery, you seem like you're somewhat capable of introspection. The fact that you mention having issues with comparing yourself to others outside of the loveshy mindset means that you at least understand to some degree that you might have a little bit of a problem. You seem like an average person with a lot of self-esteem issues. The problem with self-esteem issues is that a lot of people tend to blame them on other things, which makes them impossible to solve, and our society encourages that because we don't like hurting feelings--but the truth is that the only person who can fix you is you. You actually can rise above all that toxic waste on Sluthate and the like; you can talk to women, you can get a job and even enjoy it, and all you have to do is train yourself, over a long time, to stop thinking in the extremely negative manner you've displayed here. It might seem impossible, but if you start with small things, and if you're motivated, you actually can do it. The key is really just doing it. It gets easier and easier to do things once you do more and more of them. The more you talk to women, the more you can talk to them, and the better you get at it. The more you hook up in bars, the better you get at it. All you have to do is just start doing it. You also need to cut the negativity out of your life--the people telling you to blame everyone else for your problems are bad for you. and blah I don't feel like writing more I'm so lazy
