Resentment and dependency will build and is that something you really want?

Second, if you are walking around like the way your posts make you sound, you probably won't find a girl. I'm saying this to be completely honest. I may be wrong, but this is my intuitive guess. You probably walk around hunched, don't make eye contact, and are unsure of yourself when you speak which could come off as speaking too quietly, stuttering, or cutting off words. I was that way until about my 2nd year of college. After I became a bit more sure of myself I started being more aware of how I was presenting myself and the change in attention was amazing. I am not talking about physical appearance. People are not always aware of the signals they are sending out with their mannerisms. You could have a perfect physical appearance, but your mannerism will negate them everytime if they lack confidence. This also goes the other way. Which is why you will see girls with the Goth/heroin look with nasty unwashed hair and guys with the tousled/rumpled look seeming so incredibly sexy. You put someone in that look that has unsure mannerisms and blech.

Insecurity is a huge turn-off. I feel like a broken record, but you have to become more secure in yourself and get some confidence or you will be
miserable for a long time.
Thanks. I am aware of what dependency does to a relationship, but I was just saying that if I had a solid girlfriend, I wouldn't be scared to walk around or to be perfect. Is it so bad to want someone else in the world to accept you for what you think? You make it seem like you must never put dependence on other people in any shape or form.

Unfortunately, school starts on Monday, so I will either have to pretend I'm secure or accept that I am not. I hate pretending to everybody, but I guess I have no choice.
