you can't expect someone to encourage you if that's what you're going to say about yourself. Grow up

At least you're honest but if you know you're that way why are you wanting sympathy, both from your mother and then from us? There's a chance you only behaved that way because none of the girls were right for you, but yikes, you sound like "that guy"...

I know someone like you, whom I hate with a passion, except he's also selfish and an obsessive liar. And you know what? He has a girlfriend, and they plan to marry. See, there's still hope - all you have to do is find someone as self-absorbed, immature, and truly ****** up as you are! :D But if you want to A. be a good person instead of taking the easy way out and being a compliment *****, and B. have a girlfriend who is a good person and doesn't take the easy way out by being a compliment *****, work on your flaws (you can do that, you know). There's too many people like you in this world.

ydi for being so aware of your negative sides and not changing them. thats sick.

at this point honesty is probably better for you anyways

That sucks, but at least you KNOW what your issues are. You aren't going around like "why can't I keep a boyfriend?? I am the PERFECT girlfriend!"

you also have expectations that are not always met and that upsets you hahaha. why would your mom give you encouragement, she's letting you know that you have pointed out the problems and nowyou need to fix them. Time to grow up kid

I just wanted to tell you that I pretty much understand what you have gone through...when it comes to my mother she never agrees with anything I say or feel. Everything I do is wrong, and I've tried turning it the other way by dissing myself and she just makes it worse, and b/c of my mother I have low self-esteem, and had to seek counseling.

marry me.

are you an angler by trade or out of necessity?
