I just put a hold on my 5 year relationship, we came on a mutual agreement that we have to work on ourselves and fix our self-esteem, insecurities, and just other personal issues before we can give each other our all.

I have very low self-esteem and I depended on her constant praise or reassurance to make me feel good. Now I have learned I can’t depend on someone to give me that and I need to feel it and believe it myself.

The problem is I don’t know where to start or what to even do to fix this issue. I’ve tried to work on it in the past, but haven’t really dedicated that much time or energy to it.

Anyone struggling with an issue like this, I’d love the advice or some direction, suggestions, tips that you use or try, anything at this point!

Thanks in advance!
