I view it all as a process rather than something that is hit or miss.
Knowing you are bad at something is a step up from not knowing you are bad at something.
Most peoples biggest fear is feeling unworthy of being in community with others.
We dont want to be picked last.
Additionally, our brains are wired so that fear has a huge impact on our thoughts.
This was at one point useful for survival.

This is something I have really struggled with in the past.
We have emotions and we love and in most other time periods this was considered a beautiful thing.
The hardest thing in the world is to learn not to take it personally.
It could just be the wrong time, or we could just have the wrong color hair.
Theres so much luck and circumstance that goes into attraction and getting a relationship off the ground.
Learning not to take it personally takes a lot of practice.
You are alive just to be you.
I struggle with people pleasing, especially with dating.
Im the protagonist of my life and sometimes I just need to get off my phone and go outside.
Physiologically, you are not capable of sustaining an intense feeling of distress for a long period of time.
It will ebb and flow.
