"Low Self-Esteem" joke

A man entered a therapist's office looking very depressed. "Doctor, you must help me," he pleaded. "I just can't go on like this."
"What's the problem?" inquired the doctor.
"I'm 35 years old and I still have no luck with the ladies. No matter how hard I try, and no matter what I do, I seem to scare them away."
"This is not a serious problem," the doctor said, reassuringly. "You need to work on improving your low self-esteem. Each morning when you get up, I want you to run to the bathroom mirror and tell yourself that you are a good person, a fun person, and an attractive person. But, you must say it with real conviction. Within a week you'll find that women will be buzzing all around you."
The man seemed content with the doctor's advice and left the office a little excited.
Three weeks later, he returned with the same depressed expression on his face.
"Didn't my advice work?" the doctor asked.
"It worked alright," the man replied. "For the past few weeks I have enjoyed some of the best moments of my life with the most fabulous looking women."
"Well then, what's your problem?" inquired the puzzled doctor.
"I don't have a problem, doc," replied the man. "My wife does!"
