Hay there Girlschase, it is me again and though I am talking to more women and being more social, I still feel empty inside. This post is going to be me analyzing my belief from what I have gathered about it but not knowing how to fix it.
Just a day ago I was watching a movie called "Inception" starring Leonardo DiCaprio and in that movie he talked about how an idea is a powerful parasite. When an idea is in a person's head, it is difficult to get out of their head and I am afraid that might be the case for me. The idea in my head is a poisonous belief about women which I have had a tough time losing. I sat down and really thought about this poisonous belief, literally analyzed it to see what was wrong, and I started to pick out some things which immediately made me realize why it has become so powerful.
The poisonous belief I had used to be an opponent that could take me by surprise and I didn't even understand what made it so powerful, I only knew that I was powerless and had no knowledge of it. I knew that was more powerful than me, controlled me, and made my life miserable. Now it is to the point where I have analyzed my opponent (this poisonous belief) but don't know how to actually combat and finally destroy it.
My belief is that American women (meaning white girls that are American) hate men that look like me (south asian/middle eastern appearance). I sat down and thought to myself why I want American women so desperately and then why I feel that I cannot get them.
So I thought about why I want American women.
1. I was raised by strict immigrant parents while my classmates had lenient American parents which let them enjoy their adolescence and childhood, this made me want to be a part of the American culture and date American women.
2. I was around a lot of immigrant and minority families (mostly of the same background as me) growing up which led to me being around them a lot and I didn't like it very much because I don't agree with their ideals about life.
3. I feel so free around my friends who are American and can actually talk about interesting topics to them as opposed to my immigrant friends who are practically bookworms that are busy throwing their grades around and bragging about how accomplished they are in life. The fact is that I want to get away from their mentality and feel like an American rather than some overly studious foreigner.
I can't quite exactly put a finger on it but I know that I like American girls more than foreign girls and want to do better with them and be in relationships with them, despite all the bad things I have heard, I still want to be with American girls over foreign girls. Then I thought about why I feel that most American women who are decent looking or attractive would hate me because of my ethnic background.
1. I have not personally met any men of my background who had success with American women and I have met a few men of my background that were successful in life.
2. I had low self-esteem growing up due to parents that emotionally and verbally abused me (I think this could be playing a major role!).
3. I have heard so many bad things about men of my background that it has practically flooded up my head, whether it is due to media, real life conversations, blogs, or just reading forums (this also plays a major role!). Though Chase and Franco have provided some counterexamples, I feel that my mind keeps focusing on the many many negatives rather than those counterexamples, this could be another major issue.
4. I have a very inquisitive and analytical type of mind that keeps thinking too deeply into things, eg: I have never personally seen or met an attractive and young American girl with an arabian, south asian, or a latino that could possibly pass for either groups (even when traveling), that makes me think American girls hate those groups. Then I feel that no matter what I do outside of being a millionaire or a celebrity, I will never be able to get the kind of girls I want.
I believe those 4 things have made my belief very powerful and I know where it comes from. Then it also results from the fact that I have this validation problem to where I feel I have to have an American girl to feel fulfilled or to feel like I have finally made it. It has almost become an obsessive thought of mines and even when I do well with other girls (foreign girls and girls from minority groups), I still feel empty because I desire American girls but then feel the barrier in my head about them.
Somedays I feel like these girls were raised to hate me and dislike me. Right now, even though I have options in terms of women and do talk to various kinds of women, I still have this issue involve American girls and it has made me feel a bit empty and at times very miserable. I know what's causing it and I know what is going to fix it is if I start having good results with American women but I just can't seem to get out of my head with this. Even when I see a blonde bombshell around at a bar or restaurant, I am too scared to even talk to her and for that particular kind of woman I get approach anxiety because of all the beliefs in my head.
Is my poisonous belief just too powerful to overcome or is there hope?
