What happens first?
You give up on love, or you give up on yourself?
@EdgeOErin You love yourself first, deploy introspection, improve, grow. Then explore the pursuits in life that bring you joy and you just might find someone there doing the same thing, good luck!
@MidnightRider Sage advice
@EdgeOErin Be the person you would like to find, somehow the unknown laws of attraction respond to that more often than you think. And there's no downside to self improvement. It hurts me to go to the gym but I do anyway. When you feel better about yourself you carry yourself differently.
@MidnightRider Personally, fresh air and exercise definitely helps with self-esteem. There are times I feel good about myself, times I don't. That said, I've given up on love in my life.
@EdgeOErin I get that, I did too. Then I improbably found someone who's a sweet human, a real friend, start there first. And I'm old, I was out in Billy Mumy's cornfield for decades and felt the same way you do now. All you can do is tilt the odds, that sort of applies to all life pursuits.
@MidnightRider I hear that. It's true. I'm truly happy you found someone. That's great :) I hope things continue to go well [heart emoji]
@EdgeOErin Me too because she likes me even though I'm an idiot! 😂 I'm just humble as an idiot and I make her laugh.
