The past few weeks have been very strange for me. I have experienced a huge decline in confidence. There are several possible reasons why:
1. the cold grey weather. I think I might be suffering from seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
2. As a result of the cold weather, I've stopped exercising and feel a bit less energetic and have gained some weight.
3. I feel like fewer girls are staring at me, checking me out, and approaching me. Perhaps because I am taking less note of this, or perhaps it's actually happening less often.
4. I feel and look older. I know, I know, it seems bizarre to believe I look significantly older in just one month, but I feel like it's true.
I think what was happening before, was that I would check out or stare at women all the time and they would naturally check me out in return, and I would take these as IOI's, even though I was actually causing them. Now that I'm doing this less (checking girls out), girls are checking me out less, and this affecting my self confidence.
Oddly, I've found a good new job and getting good hours so financially I'm ok and actually doing better than before, but it's not helping my self confidence at all.
