I would act like I have had a lot of women in my life. One thing that did end up getting me was a women that lied herself. The funny thing was I was so good at lying that I even convinced myself of my lies and this attracted women who were similar in that respect. At the end of the day I ended up getting hurt quite badly through being lied to and deceived.
I then made a promise to myself to cut out my lies around that specific aspect of life and you know what I get on with my friends better than ever now and I even have the odd women approach me that has genuine self esteem and self confidence. I started out just sharing honestly with a few people and realising that hey they still like me I don't need to put on this act any longer Letting go of it has helped me with my neediness because I feel its ok not to have a girlfriend or not to have had a huge amount of experience with girls
I know the shame man but at the end of the day if they are good friends they will still like you and as spiral said will more times than not want to help you out.
Hey jimbo!
Looks like the Law of Attraction really did it's work on you. The only flip-side is that you attracted a girl who is roughly the same as you, a woman who is not true to herself.
I totally agree that being honest us the way to go for me from now on. Even though I might face embarrassment from such, I shouldn't be affected by it. Hell, I just got myself embarrassed in front of a large audience recently. It did hurt but deep down inside me it was a good opportunity for me to finally overcome my fear of being the center of attention. And I did.
Thanks a lot man especially for knowing and understanding my shame. I now firmly believe that I am on my way to where I want to be. But it isn't going to be easy. I will face a lot more challenges and I will brace myself up for them. The path to success and greatness is not an easy path to take.
