After my boyfriend of four years left me for someone else, my self-esteem was DESTROYED. Actually, it was slowly being torn down several months before that, but that's not the point. Ever since the break up, I've been feeling unattractive and worthless. Everyone tells me I'm pretty and talented and blah blah blah, and I know that they mean it, but at the same time, it's hard to BELIEVE them, you know?
And I used to have a decent amount of self-esteem, is the thing. I haven't always been like this. Now I don't even like to look in the mirror, because I start thinking, "what did he see here that he didn't like?"
It's really pathetic, I know, but it's the truth. I'm TIRED of feeling like this, though, and I'm afraid it's going to stay with me even though I'm getting over the breakup itself. I don't want to feel like this forever! How can I start to feel better about myself? Does it just take time?
