put oneself out (남에게 도움을 주기 위해) 무리를 하다, 특별히 애쓰다

I've never put myself out there, ever. A lifetime of insecurity - I'm too pale, too skinny, too scruffy, uncoordinated, my long list of faults goes on. So I have always been the one to rebuff any would-be admirers. There was that guy in my chemistry class who liked me, but one one has ever sparked my interest.
