As you get to know yourself (things like realizing you are a country boy at heart), you will grow more comfortable with yourself and self esteem and confidence is inevitable. You wanna meet any girl..or one you have something in common with and can relate to? Well, unless you know yourself and who you are and what you like...who will you relate with? Believe me, most of my relationships started in an alcoholic stupor...with another terrified individual who hated themselves too and hid behind their own addictions.
Breathe Ache...just breathe. You and I have been at this just over a month...and well, getting to know yourself and others takes time. Let someone know the REAL you.
