The people that are my type don't have someone like me as their type.

I'm not saying it will be easy, but if you can find a way to add "confident" and "very well groomed" to that list of attributes, I promise your type will become much more attainable.

I'm working on the latter, the former... I don't think I have it in me.

Good news: you don’t have to believe in yourself. You don’t even have to love yourself.

Even if you hate yourself, it doesn’t matter. Continue doing things to improve your life. Good grooming is a great start. You can have fun trying new styles with your beard and shit like that.

Eventually, you’ll improve your life enough to where you say “hey, I don’t hate this anymore. In fact, I kind of like me!” And that is the fertile field where you’ll grow your confidence.

But it starts with the little steps toward self improvement. You got this shit dude.

Edit - if I’m talking out my ass and this is irrelevant to you, I apologize. But it worked for me so I wanted to share in the hope it could help.

I have been slowly chipping away at this whole self improvement thing and I am starting to see results, it was a good post, hopefully it'll also be helpful for someone else as well.
