The problem more than anythng is that i have a very low self-esteem and as a result people treat me like a doormat. Particularly the guy i'm inlove with. I reali care about this guy.I jus don't know what to think anymore. We've been dating on and off for about 15 months. He always complains about being busy with schoolwork but fails to admit that his friends are a big priority in his life. I hardly ever see him and when i do he feels distant. I also get jealous because he and my roomate are good friends. What i fear more than anything is letting go. Please just tel me whats the way foward because I'm so confused my heart is sore.

You must learn to love yourself in order to be valued by others. If you're being treated like a doormat by Anyone, that is a Toxic relationship. All it does is further damage your self esteem. No relationship or "friendship" should occur at the expense of your feelings of self worth. Work on yourself first. Find a workshop that addresses assertiveness and self esteem issues or find a good counselor who can help you with this issue. You are Not a doormat. Some people seek out those with self esteem issues in order to have someone to bully and berate. Breaking up with such a person would be a first step in asserting yourself and establishing your valuable self worth.
