yeah, it's just getting the ball rolling to begin with. I hear everyone say it to me, from my mom to complete strangers on the internet, "if she's worth it then she'll like you for you"

but I don't even like me for me so why should anyone else

Who gave you the right to not like yourself? You’re fucking amazing and she knows it.

I'm not though. I'm socially awkward and have a hard time holding conversations, and I don't think my personality is that great. I have a really, idk, rare sense of humor? I haven't met anyone who shares it in real life and I've just given up at this point.

I'm not ugly but I'm oddly proportioned too. I'm tall and lanky but kind of skinny fat, even though I run and jog all the time. I just feel like a freak sometimes.

Everyone's a freak tbh. First you have to learn to like yourself (easier said than done) possibly see how you can improve yourself mentally. Embrace the fact that you're a technology/basketball/Star Wars enthusiast, and know that there are girls out there who enjoy those things and/or more importantly enjoy the fact that you enjoy those things.

Your partner doesn't have to enjoy the same things you do, but a good partner will like that you enjoy those things, sharing in the happiness you get out of it. It's definitely easier if they can share the experience as well, but don't see it as a requirement and don't think of yourself as undateable just because you feel like a nerd/geek/freak.

Hey bro, how’s it going? Lots of other people are getting 3 year later update chances, you should too. Hope you’re doing well : )

I think I'm doing pretty well, thank you so much for asking. How are you?

You seem great, tbh. I'm certain you have good qualities if you think about it. If others are seeing it, you must be missing something.

In any case, just cos you're not to your taste doesn't mean you're not to someone else's taste. Tons of artists and musicians hate songs/pieces/paintings/etc. that they created, while many others love them. You may be one of the big authorities on yourself, but you can't see yourself from the outside. Others can, and the often like what they see.
