ericw899 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 My oh my how times have changed. For the past two years or so I was a mess. I was desperate for attention from different women, I had no self-esteem, I had no dating experience, other than lowly dates with women who had low self-esteem or little interest in me and I was a virgin, which killed me on the inside. I also had no friends or social life. I hated myself, I hated my life, I was angry that other people had what I didn't. Then something changed. Early during Covid, I started working on myself. I focused on my career, I started my own business making extra money. I began to like myself more and more. I didn't feel like I needed a girlfriend to be happy. I didn't feel like my life depended on it. I broke up with my ex in July and I didn't take it hard at all. I understood it was over and I moved on in a dignified manner. In the past I would've been broken but I picked myself up and dusted myself off. I know there will be other women, even if it isn't right now. I still have my career, my business and my family. I learned there is more to life than a girlfriend. I just want to share my story and maybe I can help others who are struggling. Feel free to read my old posts and you'll see the different perspective I had and how broken I was. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Foxhall Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Yes its all about building confidence, small boosts here and there and you realise things not so bad after all, taking a chance or two is important, such as in your case starting a business, have to try something- put oneself out there and do a few positives things every day.
