i here that man ive been there more than a few times and it is unfucking fun being to self conscious to be open and cool around somebody u really like... just practice and be persistant
your low self esteem is stalling you getting with the girls you really want to... catch 22 dude!!.. yet girls who you arent shy of you are fine with hence no barrier to maybe building up a relationship with. bin there done it got the T shirt lol i've been lucky enough to have got to know 1 or 2 very pretty females 9/10 type lookswise who expressed an interest in me... it didnt get very far because i was intimidated by how they looked... i feel so stupid about it. i was really self conscious of myself in front of them because i felt 'not worthy'. remember this > that the very pretty girls will often have alot of men going after them so there's more competition. also, and construe from this what you may, the prettiest gf ive ever had hurt me pretty bad, she wasnt that nice of a person... the best relationship ive had and the most love ive felt for someone was with a girl who was normal looks wise (still pretty)... but with a heart of gold she was gorgeous inside. try and appreciate what you have.
