I feel like im dependent on male validation

[rough moon]

long story short I have daddy issues, I constantly feel like I need to find true love or look pretty and it’s pretty bad 😢 all I crave is a true deep connection with somebody who loves me and I’ve been single for a year and it’s killing me 💔 I feel like I actively seek out men yet my standards are too high so when someone shows interest in me I just can’t do it, idk what to do

hai firstly, you are already worth love and unconditional care !! no matter how deeply ur insecurities may run, you are absolutely enough. the daddy issues is never an easy fix. and sometimes it isnt even an unbearable issue to have as long as you're coping healthily (and dont allow it to damage irl relationships). before i address the high standards thing, may i ask, have you felt like you've self sabotaged and regretted ended a talking stage?
