I know I need to love myself and be confident in myself. I thought I was when I was with him, but maybe it was the validation that made me think I already love myself.
Have you had to learn to love yourself? What did you do? How are you doing on your self love journey now?

what do you think would feel different in your everyday life?
for me, self love started really small.
How? Just by small actions each day?
after my breakup i realized so much of my confidence came from being chosen by someone else, and losing that validation made me feel like i didn’t know myself anymore.
I think that's where I'm at.
For me I had to build myself by engaging in those things that I neglected whilst in a relationship and had to learn to enjoy my own company without needed validation from anyone
I think therapy is the best option. We’re really not qualified to comment on that (lol). I definitely think some time needs to pass before starting such a journey. I feel like I’m not myself anymore, and that’s why I sought help.
Also, great book — highly recommend it: I Love This Version of Myself That You Brought Out by Jaymen Chang.
