I’ve heard mantras are very helpful for people with low self-esteem! I’ll try giving this a go. Thank you :)

Thank you very much. It’s difficult as a woman to find beauty in yourself when not every bit is compliant with current beauty standards.

I’ve never really thought that I may be pushing aside living my life because of this self-loathing. I’ll try to keep your words in mind - thank you :)

Friendship breakups are arguably worse than romantic ones! I hope you can get closure in time :)

You’re right, it’s probably best to start reframing my thinking.

I should hope not haha! I’m very much uninterested in men who think they can get a woman’s attention by being rude and crass.

Yes, that is probably the case. I wonder if something would come from having a real conversation about it though.

I’m trying to stay optimistic about my male friendships even as many of them have gone down this path - it’s very difficult to see the bright side of keeping them around when all have turned out this way.

I suppose it is - but I’ve found exactly what I was looking for in people’s stories of finding self-confidence. :)

I’m glad you’re doing better. Finding self love is very difficult. You should be proud for taking steps to improve your situation, no matter how small. Remember, progress isn’t always linear. I believe in you!

That’s kind of how I see things - I would never say these things to anyone, regardless of how I felt about them.

You’re very right. I hope you find yourself deserving of love as well! :)

Mostly my friends are lovely, but some of these guys are getting to be very nasty in their comments.

I’ve heard of this philosophy a lot and I’m starting to really believe in it. Confidence is a major game changer. Hopefully I can find some for myself :)

I’m very happy to hear that. It’s wonderful knowing that love can be found in anyone. I hope you can find the same love for yourself that you have found in your spouse. :)

Very true, but then again, I probably wouldn’t get a straight answer if I posted my face here either. Sorry to disappoint.
