Hello, thank you for clicking my post. Sorry for the long post ahead. I've been having issues with my boyfriend, I feel that I'm not good enough for him. We have talked about this issue plenty of times. It's still present. This has been going on for a while and now I'm wondering if this is me being over dramatic.
I have insecurities over how he has so many female friends. It makes me uncomfortable. I get jealous at them, I also get jealous at artists that loves and follows. He often comments and tells me about how great their art is. We work in creative industry, I'm an artist myself, and my art style isn't like how he likes it. I feel like I can't ever match up to what he likes. Recently we're doing a game cover, I offered him to do the cover even though he had his eye on a cute pixel artist. I was jealous, I said I wanted him to give me a chance, and he said he didn't want me to feel "responsible" for that because I tend to take things seriously. He did give me the chance anyway. What I'm developing now though isn't that good according to him. I feel like he secretly wanted a pixel artist to do it. I asked him and he said no. Am I overthinking things?
I want him to appreciate me just for a bit, not only about art work project, but also about other things. I feel like I'm working so hard to be liked by him and it has never been enough. The distance doesn't help neither. I feel exhausted.
I'm hoping to get some insights as I'm really rather clueless in relationships. It's my first relationship and I'm willing to change to make this works out. Thank you, again!
