Who else sees dating as pointless if you have low self esteem issues? (20M)

r/

I’ve seen low self esteem be a confidence killer fr. It ruins the whole dating experience (and even just beginning to date cuz ppl won’t approach someone because they think they aren’t good enough) I have a friend (M20) who had a major crush on (F22) but since he was kind of on the chubby side he never approached her, turns out one day when it was too late…she had thought he was super cute & wanted to talk to him for a while…but since she was also on the chubby side they never did anything abt it 😭

Ppl think that since theyre out of their league theyre gonna lose interest in talking to you or once they see how insecure you are thats it. Deal Breaker.

I read somewhere that confidence is attractive regardless of how you look, your financial situation, your weight/height, mental health status etc. Regardless of how you are, if u have good confidence then youre attractive.

How many of yall feel this way when thinking about dating? What’s your main problem/self esteem issue that stops you from your potential?

TLDR: dating pointless if low self esteem. why do u feel like that?
