I'm a 19 year old male. I've always been fairly confident in myself and have had a fair share of girls be with me (never a serious girlfriend though). I don't sleep around below my standards just for sex or anything like that though.
Anyways, I went through a break up with a girl who was the closest thing I've ever had to a real, serious girlfriend maybe a month ago. Before this happened and even when i met that girl, I was super confident and thought I was very good looking and would grab the attention of others and everything. Now, I look in the mirror and I can't get my hair to look as nice or I have extra acne or something is just not the same. Is it just my lowered confidence after the break up, or am I actually not as good looking as I may have thought and been over confident? I've always been told I'm pretty good looking, but I can't see it. Is it just me? How can I regain my confidence?

Hello and welcome to Psych Central! It certainly could be that the break-up of your relationship is affecting your self-confidence.

I am not able to see you, so I can't comment on your looks. But even if I could, then I might see you differently than some other women would.

I suggest you try reading and posting in our self-esteem forum. Here is the link: http://forums.psychcentral.com/steps...r-self-esteem/.

If your problem continues, then maybe a counselor could help you to get back into "the game."

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
