Today has been the absolute worst day for me when it comes to the ugly duckling syndrome.

As a kid I was pretty awkward, no sense of style, overweight, unshaven patchy beard, thick Harry Potter glasses, high forehead and very high hairline.... and I was a nerd at that who was painful insecure and had ADD and hyperactive.

I was always told I was ugly by peers and no girls showed any interest in me except like one in high school.

Now Im 24, well dressed, well groomed and bald so my hairline is barely noticeable. I also am longer obviously overweight like when I was a 140 pound 55 teen. Today I got a shape up and put on some nice clothes and I go into subway, she tells me I look nice starts chatting blabla.. go sign up for a new gym, the attendant is flirty so I just flirt back, she asks if I have kids blabla...

The funny thing is other times people are less overt I dont let my personality shine through because I always have this feeling like nah no way shes interested

If people give me an interesting glance Im more inclined to think theres something on my face than think shes checking me out.

Ultimately its not the biggest deal but it probably is a reason I only seem to hit it off with extroverted people and not introverts.
