One of the little things that helped was setting a little goal anything will do...the smaller the better, and then putting a sticker on my calendar showing myself I did it. I have tons of stickers....depending on how I feel about what I did...smiley faces, frowns, flowers, little sayings like: "good job" or "doing better"
I hope you get to feeling better about yourself because you deserve it.
I think the reason why I was so displeased at males and the like because I knew I wasn't the one establishing the boundaries I was letting them run me all because I was afraid of the backlash and the negativity. When I explained to Jack that I felt uncomfortable by the closeness I thought I would need to explain myself I didn't feel the need to jusify anything. I realized I deserve to be treated like a princess and to have respect from guys. Sometimes being confident is telling people how they should be treating you setting the standards on how they will treat you before it's too late.
