I, guys, have low self esteem issues and would love to know if it's just me?? or if there are people out there with the same problems. I have tried speaking to my partner about it all but because he's pretty happy with himself, he cant understand why I am the way I am.
To cut a very long story short... We both had a "discussion" last night... You know one of those not quite an argument but not a conversation sort of things. Anyway he was upset with me because I had shown a glimmer of jealousy with regards to one of his female co-workers who he happens to be talking a lot about recently.
Now I trust my partner fully... I know full well that he has no desire to cheat on me and I know that he loves me a lot. Yet I still get these little glimmers here and there that make me feel awful. Ive tried to explain that obviously its a me problem, because I hate the way I look etc and not his problem... and mainly that the low self esteem flairs up because I know that the person infront of me is skinner then me and therefore, stereotypicaly, prettier then me.
I think im kinda going off track here... But recently its really bugged me. I'm trying my hardest not to be jealous of his female friends... and most of the time it works pretty well. And I cant help being over protective of the things that I love. But its the insecutiry and low self esteem that I just got to work with... and I dont know the best step forward.
So is it just me? Does anyone else know that what they are feeling doesn't make sense but it does?
