if your female self wouldnt date you, you need bring yourself up to feel worthy, work hard, for yourself, so that YOU can be confident in YOURself, otherwise you will always be unconfident and feel inadequate, you need to go through hardship to appreciate yourself, like " wow i actually went through that and survived, became a better person" how can someone love you before you love yourself? (you will have an imposter syndrome, because it is true) you can never appreciate yourself without exerting and doing hard work. true dopamine comes from what? True dopamine, comes from genuine accomplishment, personal growth, and self-improvement. When you work hard for yourself, overcome challenges, and achieve your goals, you gain not from your achievements, but from the exertion and 100% you put yourself thru.
do not get pride confused with confidence
however that sense of confidence that i mention is only narrow and specific, A healthy sense of pride can motivate you to strive for excellence, take responsibility for your actions, and have a strong sense of self-worth.
the delusional sense of pride breeds arrogance, selfishness and a lack of empathy, when in reality, all of that hard work should've made you more empathetic and forgiving to others, to truly understand what it feels like to go through trials.
dont get it twisted tho, dont have fake self love like some people on the internet have, you will only wallow in your delusion long term, they dont work for anything and have pride and arrogance, based on societal factors, lineage, backgrounds etc.
pride comes from delusion, while humility comes from experiencing how weak you truly are.
sorry for the rrant, tried to amalgamate failed horribly
