Low Self Confidence

by 123

hi.....I'm a normal average high school student......... I don't have anything in special in me......... Like 2 years ago.... I was like this famous kid in the school...everything was fine.....but the ex-best friend of mine.....just broke up with me due to this misunderstanding which made her insult me so much in front of others........while fighting I lost myself somewhere...... I lost my confidence and personality......... that affected my personal life and academics seriously..... I thought my mom would understand me.....but all she did was nothing except making the situation worse....... I read many self help books.......nothing helped me at all..............all of them spit out the same shit.......its really sad....I have problems in socializing with people now.. nothings the same.... from a popular outgoing kid......I came down to a low confident, shy, reserved teen with much lesser friends.............. and I have a serious opinion that my confidence will never grow back.......... I will never be the same ever, ever again......... its hell tragic

People do go through what I call the dark night of the soul, when you feel all is against you and you have lost confidence in yourself after someone else's rejection.

Counselling would help if you were able to seek it otherwise some older member of your family or other friends who know how you are feeling, could help to lift that feeling of isolation that you have been left with.
It will take time to work through, in the meantime take time out to listen to music, read books that are uplifting and try to socialise with friends who can help you with some fun and laughter.
There will be someone out there who has been through that and will understand your desolation.

I know exactly how you feel however I was never in that HS situation and I never had confidence to begin with.

People will talk no matter what. Especially in HS where loyalties change every hour and gossip spreads like wildfire. What your ex girlfriend did was mean and arrogant, especially if she didn't seek you out to talk first or apologize after the damage.

If it helps, I bet who you are hasn't changed at all despite the situation. People with opinions that fickle aren't worth paying attention to anyways. There's 2 sayings that I like. "Don't let anyone have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.? "Be who you are, say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter."
If only I could let that go. Don't let yourself lose faith in yourself over that trivial incident, you have your whole life ahead of you.
