How do you overcome being taught by your mom you're not good enough anyone?

[Anonymous]

My mom taught me when I was little that I'm not good enough for anyone. No girl will like me at all. It's destroyed my self confidence and self image. I've never attempted any relationships because of this.

Dude you're 36 - 45. You should have left dear old mom in the rear view mirror about 20 years ago. Why are you letting this asshole of a woman live rent free in your head as a grown man. Grow a pair, have some confidence, tell mom to go fuck a blender, and go meet some people.

By not being any idiot. If your mom said you could fly do you believe her?

getting rid of her, therapy, doing stuff that feels wrong with dating, and positive experiences

pushing yourself is the biggest even if it makes you extremely uncomfortable and foreign

Excuses, excuses.

That's awful I couldn't imagine that she doesn't want grandkids ya if my mom was like that towards me she would be seeing a lot less of me always remember this love yourself there is love out there for everyone buy some new clothes to make yourself feel better try talking to people it may feel unsettling but will build your confidence

First of all, I’m so sorry she would tell you that. That’s awful. Therapy might help you overcome that.
