My therapist told me today that I’m an amazing, considerate, attractive, fun, smart, intelligent, remarkable, positive attitude, and genuine individual. Basically, I’m a catch for any gay man who is interested.

BUT, fear of failure and getting my heart broken is keeping me at bay. 

I need to find the strength to ignore the fear that speaks to me when I need the confidence to be all those qualities. I am holding myself back. It’s so ironic.

He said that I don’t see myself the way others do. That damn inner voice is sabotaging my future happiness. I cannot allow that to happen. This is one of the hardest obstacles I’ll need to overcome. 

There’s nothing to fear, but fear itself.
