This.

It doesn't sound to me like you want to believe in yourself, but that you want affirmation from the people around you that you matter.

Are you happy with who you are? Does your life interest you?

Absolutely I want that affirmation, and sometimes I don't get it enough and it brings me down. I'm always the one reaching out to my friends. I'm always the one taking an interest in them. I have maybe two people in my inner circle (referencing the image) where it's reciprocated. All my friendships feel one-sided. If I try to strike up a conversation with a girl I'm interested in, it's always one-sided, where just today I talked with a girl I like but it was entirely me asking her questions and her talking about herself. She didn't mind talking about herself but she didn't ask me a single question. I felt like I was playing 20 questions and said so, and she said "U are lol..."

But if I'm going to get that affirmation, and it's going to be real, I need people to want to hit me up, and want to know what's going on with me, and want to get to know me. It's frighteningly rare where I've met a girl who is actually interested in trying to get to know me. Hence my belief that I'm boring as fuck. To do that I need to be able to express what makes me interesting. I don't know how to do that, and it seems I need to believe in myself more to do it, which I don't think I do.
