Tori, thank you for swinging by my thread too! Yes, I have struggled with insecurity and perfectionism for most of my life. My therapist is helping me with this, but I still have a way to go. My new appearance helps, definitely.
Trying to detach, trying to forgive myself, and trying to love myself.
I think I'm a pretty good guy and probably a pretty decent catch. There's some areas where I need improvement, but I'm working on them and they're nothing that can't be fixed.
I think the most difficult thing is trying to forgive myself.
