Creative, imaginative people seem to have a lot of trouble with relationships. I'm gonna stick my phone number in the comments under this, please delete it when you get it, but call me. I'm across the country, so I should be safe.

I wish I had something helpful to say, but since my last (and first, really) attempt at forming a romantic relationship resulted in a four-month paranoid depression, I really have no idea.

I know what you mean about the numbness, too. *hugs*

I also know how easy it is to make the same mistakes more than once, especially when you really want to believe they're not mistakes this time. But from these last couple years I'm also pretty certain that you do, in fact, learn things, and I think you'll sort things out eventually. I'm just sorry things have to be tough before then.

Every now and then everyone gets their self-doubts, for one reason or another, but then you pull through and realize that hating yourself is like kicking a rock in terms of solving your problems.

You're not a bad person, and shouldn't have to bear any kind of self-loathing. And you're likable enough that I'm positive there's a guy out there right for you, who'll appreciate you as you are, dozens of guys, even, you just need to find them.

And I was always bad at being comforting, so I'll just end with an awkward statement.
