confidence café

Morning all. I sometimes I think that the person I was with was doing my head in...always going out on the weekends to the pub, he had a very close girlfriend who he would take out to dinner but never me, said he loved me, but I was always kept for night time and not taken out...I guess I pushed him away, but I think it was my low self esteem that kept me going back....today I will value what I want in a partner, I wont just settle for what he wants....I am valuing my wishes and needs...I want to be taken out and I don't want my man at the pub every weekend....So I am saying the ending of that is a positive things for me....I can get what I want and I will one day :)

Hi, I have just joined. Being feeling pretty low and lacking confidence and felt I needed to find some way to snap out of this before it got to bad. Been feeling very alone with all this and hope to meet some new friends.

I am new here to this site and hoping I can get my self esteem back. I am a professional lady with lots of successes but I never look at myself that way. my goal now is to stary positive. This site will help with that I hope

Hi to all you lovely Ladies,

this is only the 2nd time on here. I just wanted to say out loud really: For some time now, I have found the need to be with a man (thinking that he will make me happy). Through much searching of my soul I now, at 40 have only just realised that I need to love myself and really work on my self esteem. This in turn will make me Happy and love myself. Thus a man will find me more attractive that I can love myself. It's a shame it has taken me all these years to realise, but at least I have and that's all that matters.

Morning all, today I will be positive. I will not be scared. I will tell me mind to stay focused. I owe it to myself and people around me. I have made mistakes, many, but I can live today and learn from them....I am worthy of love and peace.
Have a good day all

hi there girls, i know its late but i just needed to come on here to tell you that i have had a testing day yesterday and i stayed calm and got home and thought, YES, i have managed for once to keep my thoughts to myself and stop my mind running away with negative thoughts. My boyfriend and his boys and i are going camping tomorrow and we cant wait, i just hope i dont let myself down and get jealous of women lookin or talking to my boyfriend. i feel dreadful and full of nothingness when that happens but last night was the first step to thinking he is with me for a reason and he loves me and wants to be with me. My life has changed dramatically in the last few days for the better and looking at all the postiveness going on the Cafe at the moment you have all given me the boost that i need to have a great holiday. Thank you girls and god bless every one of you
