This includes my ex bf...but I broke up with him earlier this week and I feel un loved and dont like myself.How do I deal with the insecurities I have before geting back into another relationship? I dont want to have to depend on someone else to make me feel good anymore. Its un reasonable.

oh my god! you sound so simmilar to myself last year, when me and my ex split i felt rubbish, i hated everything about me and thought everyone else would feel the same. i suggest that you stay single for a while and get to know yourself on your own before trying to be with someone, spend time with your friends and have a laugh, i stayed single for a year and i found out alot about myself and i will never depend on anyone else to make me feel good again,you need to be happy on your own before you can be completely happy with another person. good luck x x x

I cannot understate this, Everyone feels the way you feel at some point or another. The trick is to find something you're good at. Whether it's something you already do, or a new hobby, and take pride in your abilities and yourself.You're definately on the right track though, It's almost impossible for someone else to give you the respect you deserve if you can't give it to yourself.I would suggest avoiding the dating scene for a while and work on building up your self esteem. A good way to do this is to change something about yourself, a new haircut is a really common choice.Hope this helps
