I will try to keep this short.
A lot of us know, we are more than we appear. We are smarter and more talented than the things we've achieved; however things in life external and internal have held us back from the best/true versions of ourselves. A lot of the times we've held ourselves back counterintuitively.
For me, I'm 24Yo with a job 2 days a week but no real career or purpose or social life, and to be honest it is hard to build and plan for a future when you are in limbo between life and suicide.
I have never dated because I've spent most of my time since the age of 16 as a hikikomori practically. I have an old friend I made as a 7yo that I see maybe once a year if I'm lucky but that's it.
There are friendship apps and dating apps that if I wanted to "come out into the world", I could utilize.
However seeing these profiles, of people who lived life "properly" and have things going on, I feel unworthy. I know I have things to talk about, know I'm intelligent, but I suppose at the core of all this I worry about what people may think of me because of my "position" in life. Do you think it is possible to find someone who will accept me as I am? Particularly the not being sure of whether I even want to be alive part? lol. Has it happened to you?
I see people on this website say they have spouses and I wonder, do their spouses accept them for all of them (the lost, suicidal parts particularly) or do their spouses not even know this about them? Did they meet them like that or were they a functionally happy person when they met and (I assume) fell in love?
Also, on the non-low selfesteem side, I don't know if it's even good to enter a relationship in this state. Would it be like trying to fix my issues with a relationship or would it help me come out with the living, and put some fire into my belly. I also do want to experience love once in my life if I do decide to go. Being amongst living people is life-injecting. I feel this when I rarely come out of my room periodically throughout the years, but I can never follow through and just do and be who I want to be.
Part of me worries I will be settling in life if I take who accepts me in this state and I will never become the "true" me.
Does anyone have experience in this? What advice/perspective would you give regarding my doubts? In the getting to know eachother phase, how do I explain myself to the type of people I want?
