 hello,i was in the same situation as u are,my ex had no heart at all.what ive come to realize,is that number 1, its his opinion its not fact what he said,number 2,never listen to anyone that puts u down,degrades u or is negative towards you.chances are they wont get anywhere in life.number 3,guys like confidence in girls,as do girls.now u need to pick your confidence back up,stop self talking to yourself,like am i good enough, just stuff like that, because you are,everyone is its just the your brain and thoughts are doubting wether you are good enough.just hang around encouraging people and read some self improvement books to get your thinking right and confidence back. take care,graham

When people act like that its about them, about their issues, their problems. It has nothing to do with you unless you choose to believe it. If he says, your a b@#4h and part of you believes it. Then you go around all insecure and doubting yourself. Thinking if he said that is it true? Who else thinks that? Its like poison. Don't take the poison. Don't take it personally.

Realize that he had a problem if he stopped dating you. Breaking up is an emotional experience and sometimes we bite back when we realize we don't have complete control. Separate what he said in your mind. If one particular thing hurt you because you think the same about that thing, then attack it (i.e. he says your cold and you think your cold, so you try to share more) and fix the problem. Otherwise disregard what he said as a poor guy lashing out. Best of Luck!

 The thing is, confidence is very attractive. Guys won't be drawn towards someone who looks downtrodden, depressed, self conscious and unconfident. They want happy, smiling, shining girls.
You've got to get over what your ex said to you. He only said nasty things to make himself feel better, to feed his own insecurity.
Get yourself a new haircut, get some highlights, buy a new outfit, have a massage, be good to yourself, take care of yourself, get happy in yourself, and the guys will be lining up.

You're my age, you've got your whole life ahead of you, and I'm sure you're a wonderful girl with some great assets. Don't let this awful guy get to you! Often when a relationship breaks down, you say things you don't mean. Horrible things, just to hurt your ex's feelings. I'm sure he was just being spiteful and tried to hurt you.. I know, its so mean of him, but you've got to remember thats all in the past. Everybody has someone they're destined to be with, someone that thinks they're perfect no matter what, someone that will stand by them forever. So my advice to you is to go out and start looking for him. Meet new guys, help yourself move on relationship-wise. It'll make you feel better :] you can't let what happened so long ago get to you, especially when it was all said in the heat of the moment. You've got a great future ahead of you, so why not start it now :] good luck honey.
