Question

Low confidence and self essteem after my 8 year relationship has just broken down, how do i regain it?

Answer 1

Smile and say hi to people. Engage them in conversation when you can. Ask them out for coffee. Do not be a rejecting person. Find someone you think is fun and spend time with them. Eventually you will meet the right person who will give you the attention and affection you need.

Answer 2

Remember you are unique and, therefore, special.

Your identity is not dependant on any other, however special they were.

Answer 3

try to find a new hobby, maybe then you will meet someone new who is interested in the same things as you. if you already aren't in shape, join a gym and take aerobic classes.  

Answer 4

Hi I am so sorry about your relationship. It is going to take some time to regain your self image. You just have to keep telling yourself your a good person and deserve to be loved. Hang out with some positive people and try to have fun. Let yourself grieve because in time your heart will mend. I wish you the best ever!

Answer 5

Tough one, sorry for your loss.  Don't stay alone, talk, talk, talk, make sure you have a good support system and get professional help if you don't.  Verbalizing all the emotions you will be living will help you to redefine who you are, who you were and most important who you want to become on your own.  Good luck.
