You will only really find yourself happy with someone when you see them as your equal. Not unworthy of them or too good for them but that your equally worthy of each other.

I'm a cunt, i'm selfish and lazy.
I'd say that until I change at least somewhat, I won't ever really overestimate my worth as someone's boy.
This thread reeks of desperation btw.
Just thought I'd add that.
Ive the same concern. Are my expectations unrealistic?Doppelganger said:Back to being single [oh wait... status hasn't changed in 3 years.].\ Oh well!, does anyone else think that people, in general, over-estimate their self-worth as partner material?
Now before anyone jumps down my throat and reminds me of all the people who are so obviously insecure - I agree with you, they're everywhere. However, these same people, when rejected, will almost always be thinking "He or she never got to see my true colours/ I would've given the world/ it's his or her loss and they'll never even know it."
People from all walks of life, manage to convince themselves that it's the other persons loss for missing out on the GODLY relationship they were offering .
I also hear regularly "Yeah, I've realized I can do so much better than all the previous people I've fucked." I've seriously began to marvel at the way the majority of the population put themselves on this almighty pedestal, and in the process, dispose of the worth of just about everyone they've crossed paths with.

Doppelganger said:^ But at your core, despite whether you say it out loud or not [insecurities always take the stage first,] do you really think that you're not worthy of that person?
Edit: And eventually, do you not begin to think that you're better than that person?

Doppelganger said:I should probably clarify that I started taking an interest in these observations after reading a philosophical book on happiness.
In that book, it showed a study where people were asked to judge themselves on various traits: physical appearance, intelligence, strength, confidence, power, etc.
They were asked to score themselves on a scale of 1-10 with 5 being average. Results from the study proved that most people saw themselves as 'above average' - the average person rating themselves a 7.8 average in total [if my memory serves correct.]
Edit: Don't remember the author because I was just flicking through when I was in borders, but if anyone is interested, I can find out. Was good stuff.
Doppelganger said:^ So have some balls and do it, rather than crying like a little bitch over the argument we had the other day!
