Comparing self to others and deciding to be single

  • Thread Starter

I am not a particularly attractive person; I'm not pretty, I'm not particularly slim, I'm small chested, I'm extremely introverted, pretty boring and not a particularly nice or kind person. I find it impossible to believe someone would find me attractive.

I recently broke up with my boyfriend of many years as the relationship was making me unhappy. Other people keep telling me to date other people, but they don't understand that I simply want to be single.

That's not to say that I'm not attracted to people. I have had a crush on a friend and colleague for over a year, but have never said anything. Whenever I convince myself that maybe, just maybe, he would consider it I find myself looking at photos of him with other, much more attractive and fun looking women and feel depressed as I realise that there is nobody for whom I would ever be first choice.

I feel that I'd rather be single than be the person someone settles for, or dates until someone better comes along. Is that odd?

If it helps, I'm 24.
