Why men never commit to me

I’m a very successful lady and I’m funny and supportive I love with all my heart and am a giver.
I went into many relationships and I always get the answer "my family will not agree on you."
Am a doctor with great salary beautiful but black.
And my boyfriends were not black or even doctors.
But they were successful.
My self esteem got affected and what upsets me is I never leave. I stay in touch and even try harder to make a relationship work. What is wrong with me, please help.

Hello!

Unfortunately very often when one aspect of your life goes well, the other one lacks and things can start to seem very negative and frustrating. In your case, being successful professionally has affected relationships and the way you approach them or think about them. Based on the information you provided, it seems that you stay longer due to not finding the right commitment and prefer to be into something than into nothing relationship wise. Also due to being so successful professionally, can make you have higher expectations within yourself and partners you chose. It is normal for your self-esteem to be affected but when the right person comes, things will feel right. Also you mentioned not being the same race as your partners and how their families don't agree to that and that can also add to your self-esteem. When the right person comes, those issues and difficulties you are experiencing will not matter.

I also wanted to point and discuss your last sentence, which was: " what is wrong with me, please help". You being emotional and wanting to be wanted does not mean that anything is wrong with you, it just means that things will happen differently for you. It is important to start focusing on the positive and having people around you that are positive and encouraging you to continue to be yourself and work on letting the process happen. That can seem hard at first but in the long run will be worth it. Thinking about positive things and doing them, even if it is something small at first will be very helpful and you can build on from that. From there, it can progress eventually into more consistent, bigger things and eventually can lead to goal achievements, which will help with confidence and self-esteem. If you can stay consistent and focus on that, you will see difference in your thought process and the way you approach things in different areas of your life.

Hope that helps and you can reach the desired outcome! If you have any questions or additional information is needed, I am available!

Thank you!
