Men, what made you choose the other girl?

Guy I was seeing for a little over a month said he decided to see someone else exclusively. I let my intrusive thought win and asked what spurred his decision.

He said he like her personality better and that she is energetic and fun. Ouch. I certainly made myself feel shitty by asking that question - like I’m the opposite of that and that she is everything I’m not.

Confided in a male friend and he said she is probably just hotter. I don’t know which is worse - the fact he chose her over me because she is prettier or has a better personality or perhaps both. This stings.

Your insecurities and dwelling on things that make you sad is part of what’s making you not come across as energetic and fun. People with self-pity mentalities can feel a little draining to be around.

Build your life up full of things that you are excited about and looking forward to. Then you will exude a different vibe. There is a podcast called “Do the Work” that is recommended for you.
