The only person you can improve to meet your expectations is yourself. Work on that and all of a sudden everyone else will seem a lot easier to be around and like.
I've always tried "improving" myself all my life. When that isn't (apparently) good enough to either GET dates or chances or opportunities then it doesn't really matter. Idk of many people I've ever known or known of are truly "happy" without an intimate love relationship in their life. They may not admit it but it's true.
Women are just more loyal & genetically inclined to stay in longer relationships from my experience. Men like variety & gay men
especially so which means more relationships & the almost always difficult transitions between them. I am not cut out for that type of lifestyle. Hence my discouragement.
When you give all you have & do all you know how for a year and a half & yet are
still dumped as if it never happened it is rather disconcerting. It's also frustrating when the person who has all the advantages
& "uses" you also gets "rewarded" w/ a "new" (former/ex) partner while I am left more mixed up then
ever.
I
know - life isn't fair. It's just annoying that he causes the problem(s) yet I "lose", get the suffering
& get
my (perceived) deficiencies pointed to as the
reasons why it happened(!?).
