finding confidence again/getting over a heartbreak
Question Posted Thursday March 6 2008, 7:18 pm
Hi
I just moved to a new school in my old neighborhood, I have been away for almost three years and all my friends are gone! I have begun making friends and I am doing better. But, my self-confidence has lowered so much. I used to be outgoing and funny, now im shy and more afraid. I need help and advice about how i can get back to being my old self, i am great once i step out of my shell. Also I have had a crush and I just found out that he likes another girl and that she likes him back. I see her having everything I don't and I think that is because of my confidence and self-esteem as well. If you can help it would be great!
thanks
It is terrible that all of your friends have moved away, but this is the time in your life where you are going to have to start meeting new people. As hard as it will be at first, it will get easier. The more comfortable you feel with your surroundings, the better you will acquaint yourself with other people. I bet you are still outgoing and funny, it has just been supressed right now because you are feeling alienated from all that you were used to.
About this guy, at least you haven't done anything to make it ackward for yourself, by letting him know that you have a crush on him. This will probably be a wait and see thing. Let those two work out what they are feeling, and if they get together, just let it go, unless they break up. If they don't get together, then all's fair in love and war. Just remember to be yourself and things will fall into place in no time, you'll see.
