Feeling inadequate and wanting validation from other people, how to stop?
I've been doing some stuff online I'm not proud of, on and off through the years. It usually happens when I feel rejected. It started with Omegle when I was 17, then I stopped, then at 21 I had a crush and he rejected me and I created a secret ig account and now I'm 27 and I'm feeling urges to do the same thing again because the 21 crush reached out and not even 5 words into the convo he just left me on read. And idk, I just feel no one likes me or desires me, and idk, it's sad. I feel like a loser. I've never published stuff like that in my official accounts though, I don't even publish my face in my personal accounts. I posted a picture today on a second fb acct and I deleted it because I know it is not right.
I don't know how to up my game with my self esteem, I don't tell myself anything bad, it's just that I feel bad, I would like for someone to like me but I also feel no one will ever be enough because there's something wrong with me.
