Original Reddit post

So I was in a long term relationship that ended 3 years ago, we met quite young when I was 19 and broke up at 25. Prior to that I hadn’t really dated, just some casual encounters. After the break up I found myself in the dating world for the first time and I developed insecurities I didn’t think would ever bother me. More than I would like I’m obsessing over my height, my skin, my hairline etc, no one ever criticised these things and I didn’t even have any issues getting dates but it’s like just being in that world poisoned me against myself. I’ve been in a relationship now for a year and a half so I have no reason to still feel these insecurities but for some reason I do. What is this and how do I move past it? submitted by /u/Usual_Individual_322
