Maybe the sooner you accept your flaws the better. I suffer from severe anxiety, and it was the downfall of my relationship. Do I regret that I allowed my mental illness to ruin it? No. Because that was my rock bottom. Since then I have worked on myself, and guess what? No anxiety!

Take this opportunity to better yourself for you, not for your friends. You have begun a journey of self discovery. Some would be very grateful for that. You are working on yourself, see that as a positive as you are striving to be the best version of you.

Hey Bud

I too am going through a break up. It sucks. Nothing I can tell you will help speed up the process. I know, because nothing I have been told or read helps. Just know, like everything in life, it will pass. That’s something I am holding on to.

Also, re: the internet boyfriend. Yeah he is so a re-bound. An ‘internet relationship’ is not a relationship. I wouldn’t sweat it. Just remember while you are out with your mates having fun meeting people, she is in front of a computer screen talking to someone she hasn’t met yet. What does that sound like to you?

Hang in there bud.
