Confidence is harder to come by than winning lotto tickets when you don't have enough of it. There's also a big mental/emotional difference. Mentally I know I'm a good looking guy, but emotionally...the bad childhood experiences win, and my love life has been pathetic, no matter how many daily assertions I try to make. Personally it seems like those assertions create their own resistance which stops them from working (assertions imply worry, worry implies doubt, and it's an ugly spiral down from there). I'm seriously considering either hypnotherapy, or just throwing myself out there as often as possible. Those are my only two ideas right now =p
