*Dating for 3 years

Like everyone, I struggle with low self esteem at times. I have a lot of insecurities around who I am inside, and I express this to my bf and besties sometimes. I do art and tend to feel like a fraud, and I have a lot of doubts about if people like me.

My girls always hype me up out of no where, they make sure to tell me when people say positive things about me when I’m not around, they make sure to acknowledge little things about me and my life that they admire. I feel really good about myself after seeing them.

My bf will compliment my looks, but I don’t remember the last time he reassured me about who I am, or what I create, without me having to ask him.

I make sure to compliment him as much as I can without going over board, and so sometimes it hurts when he knows that I struggle with believing in myself and yet doesn’t take time to reassure me.

What do you all think about this situation, what would you think?
