My self steem went down since my bf after 5 years stopped loving me. What should I do to feel better? I just installed some dating apps, I have many matches, but some reason I don't think it's the right thing to do to enhance my self-confidence.

      A friend’s mom once told me about this book. Inside this book was tons of research on the difference between successful and unsuccessful children from under-privileged situations. The difference was whether or not someone expressed and showed they believed in them. It’s really, really hard when someone who believes in you (or didn’t) goes away in your life, or even rejects you. I’m not in your situation, but I hope this helps! :) This research has helped me tons in raising my confidence…especially when I’ve been shown over and over that I didn’t matter by certain people. (If this research doesn’t help you, too, that’s also okay btw!) Please, PLEASE know, you always have that self-confidence and love in your heart. It doesn’t go anywhere, I promise! I believe in you, and I can’t wait for you to find it one day. Self esteem can be a little shy sometimes ;) please send me a message if you could use a little boost! 🤗 it’s so, so hard to not be able to depend on someone for those reminders…I don’t even know how I went without praise and hugs all these years…but you absolutely deserve it, FOR YOU!!! Always ask for help when you set a goal and set out to achieve it!

      Well sweetheart, he's the problem. Not you. Dating apps aren't going to help you get that self esteem back. You have to find that within you and realize how much potential you have within you. Significant others don't give you self esteem. If they do, you've given them too much control over your mind. You need some you time. Please try to give yourself time to heal and do things you love to do. If you're capable, go for hikes and learn about things your ex wasn't interested in. Do things he wouldn't do with you. Be yourself and you can learn to love who you are. You don't need a man to help you feel better. I guarantee you that you're amazing.
