Is it good that I’m taking my time to better myself before entering a relationship?

[Anonymous]

I’m not happy who with I am and it’s going to take me a really long time to be the person I want to be. During this time, I’m avoiding dating and relationships. Not even something casual.

I just realized I made a typo 🤦‍♀️
I meant to say, “With who I am.”

All the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again. You know who you are. You know how you were raised. You know why you feel the way you do. So listen to youself and work on yourself. You'll never be wrong for working on yourself.. so you dont walk around a broken mess. Get past it in time.. then you'll be able to help sombody else younger than you.

You should always be happy with yourself before dating to avoid a codependency on your partner to fill a void or insecurity. So it’s preferable that you work on yourself before you date.

Well... at least you are considering relationships now. Just seeing you post over time has seemed you are improving in some regards. Subtle and hard to pinpoint; but improving nonetheless.

I wish you success.

But, I’m still scared shitless to enter one.

Don't be. It's like having a male friend, but more intense.

Eventually, you'll be ready

Your running behind the bell curve babes... If your not that person alread... you might not be that person your trying to be. :) just saying...

You know, you’re right. I should just give up, be depressed, and just end my life one day.

Want to give me the encouragement to kill myself? Got any tips or suggestions?

Sounds like a good move, yes.
