Self confidence

[Flo19]

I’ve finished a tricky divorce a teat ago and have started seeing someone new. I have lost all confidence in myself. How do I learn I love myself again I’m very guarded and was recently called self righteous. This have really made me look at myself and I don’t know who I am any more

Maybe you need to do some soul searching and find yourself and what will truly make you happy. You need to find your confidence again and love yourself before you can even be with someone else.

I'm sorry you've experienced this and I'm sure there's so much about you to love and like. That's great that you've met someone new - they must have seen something in you that was worth liking? x

Hi Flo19 and welcome to this caring forum. I am sorry to hear you are experiencing such a difficult time. As Sandi has posted, it may help you to find out what will truly make you happy. This will help you to gain confidence in yourself. We do lose self confidence when we go through difficult experiences, but this can be rebuilt with time. We need to be "true to ourselves." As Suzie40 has posted, there is so much about you to love and like. Taking part in an interest, something that makes us feel good is always helpful in building up self confidence. Let us know how you get on. Take care and best wishes.

I just want to find someone to love me. I struggle with my confidence and if I’m honest I’d rather just stay at home and not go out as this is where I feel comfortable. I feel like I’ve spent 15 years always putting someone else first and now I don’t know how to help myself
