This is completely illogical. If your premise is that anyone who falls in love with someone is necessarily not good enough for them, how will "letting them go" will make things better? If they find someone else who loves them, this person will, by your premise, not be good enough for them. So they will have traded one unsatisfying love for another. Duh.
There is an amount of frustration in everything in life, and I don't see why love should be different. On the contrary, given the totally unrealistic demands we make of love, frustration is inevitable. Of course you can always spend your life looking for perfection, and never finding it. Or you can accept your frustration as a part of life and just live it.
Easier said than done perhaps, but better than making a philosophy of your low self-esteem. Sorry
