Good day.
Host:
My name is Zeng Chen, and I am a heart exploration coach. After carefully reading your post, I can understand the confusion you are feeling. I also want to commend you for bravely expressing your innermost feelings and seeking help on this platform. This will undoubtedly help you to better understand yourself and adjust your behavior to meet a better version of yourself.
I hope that sharing my observations and thoughts in this post will help the original poster to view themselves from a more diverse perspective.
1. Perhaps it would be helpful to consider why you doubt.
From what I can gather from the post, it seems that the poster was feeling confused after chasing a girl and being rejected. It's possible that the girl's response also made the poster doubt himself.
I believe I understand your self-doubt after reading this information. It is not uncommon for people to experience some degree of self-doubt after being emotionally frustrated.
It is therefore understandable that rejection can damage our narcissism or self-esteem.
It is not uncommon for people to feel as though they are not good enough or not as good as their partner when they are rejected. This can have a significant impact on a person's self-esteem and sense of worth.
It might be helpful to consider things from their perspective as well.
Let's consider a scenario where we have a girlfriend and we really like her. How would we respond if a girl came to us and confessed her love?
If the man is not someone you would typically reject, could you please clarify why you would reject him in this case?
Could it be that this girl is not quite meeting your expectations? If you were in her position, would your experience and feelings be different?
Moreover, the poster mentioned in the post that he has been feeling inferior since childhood. What does it mean to feel inferior? It can be simply put as a lack of liking or acceptance of oneself, or a feeling of being somehow "inferior." Once we have such a perception of ourselves, it can be easier for us to notice information that seems to prove our "inferiority."
It might be helpful to remember that human attention is selective. We tend to choose information that aligns with our existing beliefs and opinions.
For instance, the poster in the post mentioned that she may have a boyfriend, which suggests that her rejection may not be due to your perceived inadequacies.
2. Consider ways to foster growth in your relationships.
From a psychological perspective, interpersonal relationships can serve as a mirror, offering insights into our own selves. It is therefore possible that relationships can facilitate personal growth.
Perhaps we can use relationships to help us grow.
Perhaps it would be helpful to focus our attention back on ourselves for a moment. Could I ask you to think about why you feel inferior?
Could I ask you to consider what might be the essence of low self-esteem? And what might have shaped the person we are today?
Could we perhaps consider the possibility of reshaping ourselves? From a psychological perspective, it seems that the essence of low self-esteem is a low sense of self-worth, and not allowing ourselves to be insufficient.
Perhaps we could consider where our sense of self-worth comes from. It could be argued that it stems from our own affirmation and understanding of ourselves and our early upbringing.
It could be said that when we were young, we didn't have enough knowledge to understand ourselves, so the feedback from our upbringing environment was very important at this time. If it was positive and accepting, it might be the case that the child would often affirm and identify with themselves.
If the feedback from our upbringing environment was negative, not liked, or even disliked, the child may not identify with themselves and may not be sure of themselves.
If we fail to correct our understanding of ourselves during our growth process, we may end up feeling a little inferior.
3. It might be helpful to try to raise ourselves again.
Perhaps it would be helpful to understand why we are the way we are. What can we do at this time? We have shaped the person we are today.
Perhaps we could consider ways to start shaping our future from today. We could think about ways to re-nurture ourselves, review our own growth experiences, adjust those unreasonable parenting styles, and address any unreasonable perceptions.
Perhaps we could consider correcting our own understanding of ourselves. In this way, we may be able to grow, raise ourselves again, and allow ourselves to grow into another self that we like. It may be helpful to remember that we are now grown up, with our own mature thinking and our own way of looking at things. This means that at this time, we have the ability and resources to raise ourselves again.
Of course, parenting is not a simple matter, and it requires us to reconcile with ourselves and reconcile with our early upbringing environment. We need to learn and improve ourselves.
I hope that this has been somewhat helpful and inspiring for you. If you have any questions, you might also like to click to find a coach for one-on-one communication, who may be able to help you better.

It sounds like you're going through a tough time. Maybe it's best to focus on yourself and what makes you unique. Everyone deserves someone who appreciates them for who they are. It might be helpful to channel your energy into personal growth and hobbies.
Sometimes we get hung up on one person because we think they're our only chance, but the world is full of possibilities. Try to meet new people in different settings; social events or clubs based on interests can be great places to start.
I understand how frustrating it feels when someone you like doesn't reciprocate those feelings. But remember, rejection is part of life and doesn't define your worth. Consider talking to friends or family for support during this time.
You have a lot going for you already with your job and studies. Confidence comes from within too. Work on building your selfesteem by setting small personal goals and achieving them. This could make you feel more positive about yourself.
It's normal to feel anxious about relationships especially as you grow older. However, rushing into something just to avoid being alone isn't always healthy. Take your time to find someone who genuinely connects with you on a deeper level.
