My eyes always scour my environment (e.g. the gym) to see if any women are looking at me. I think it's because I have extremely low self-esteem and crave any sort of validation from women to boost my ego. I'm just an insecure man who feels incomplete. I am searching for completion in the opinions women have of me but I feel miserable and it's a losing game - I'm just a regular dude so they have no real reason to gawk at me, yet I anticipate and crave it.
How do I stop feeling so empty inside and being so desperate and weak for any sort of attention/validation from women? How can I stop placing my self-worth on their behaviors towards me?
