Ive no confidence in myself

0

After a bad dumping I was verbally abused for few months after it. I can’t bring myself to be intimate with a man, I’m scared that they will use me like how the man I loved used me,my heads a mess and have very low self esteem.for months I was called names and put down and I can’t get over it, I could cope with a stranger calling me names but someone I had feelings for I can’t.
I’m very depressed and when someone wants to get close to me I push them away. I’m scared of being told I’m worthless and be compared to by other females, looks wise and how I am in bed as before it never bothered me I knew everyone had pasts but now I feel dejected. There’s only so many times im told im ugly and crap in bed before I believe it Which I do now.

how do I overcome this?

I have an exercise that might answer your question. I saw this on a televiosn show and I think this would be a great start. Try using a mirror or if not just a simple sheet of paper. If you have a mirror and use lipstick or for paper you can use a pencil/pen and draw a line leaving even space at the top and bottom. On the top you want to name things that you want people to see or look at you as and on the bottom you want to name things that people look at you as. For example on the top you want people to view you as a smart, sweet, intelligent, or a hard worker. On the bottom people see you as a ignorant, impatient, rude, negative. After you see the things that people see you as try to work on people viewing as what you want to be, and soon you'll find your confidence back and be the person you want to be. If you really have some issues that you really need guidance for than you can try and do counseling or finding a life coach until you feel you've found your pursuit of happiness. Good luck on your journey and may this advice help you.
