He's too accomplished, what do I do?

Question

I've recently become involved with an accomplished man. He is educated, talented and quite successful. He's quite a bit older than me but that doesn't really bother me and I'm enjoying my time with him. I have confidence in my abilities, my character, my personality but I am not as accomplished as him. :( How do I build confidence or feel better about not outshining him? He's very well educated and extremely successful.

Either you come to an understanding of not caring about comparing yourself to him or you do stuff to make yourself feel as equals.

There's not much of variety in what you can do, at any rate this is a personal problem.

One that you should take care of on your own.

We all have accomplishments, you may have less in comparison because you’re younger, but that doesn’t make you less successful. Besides, a romantic relationship is not about competing it’s about complementing each other, I’m sure you have skills and abilities he lacks.

Thank you. <3

I appreciate that. <3 There are things he obviously loves about me but I don't yet see. I suppose I need to pinpoint what he sees in me. Any suggestions?

I don’t think you need to do it from his perspective. You need to see it from your own perspective. Just be confident about who you are and why you’re valuable. That’s all.

If you think someone's more accomplished than you are, you're not really ready to be in a relationship with him. Sorry.

That's a broad generalization, I don't think you understand what it means to genuine and reflective. Sorry.
