Stephen,

Thank you very much for your answer. Being dumped because of insecurities is so paradoxical and strange. Nothing shatters one’s sense of self-esteem more than being rejected, yet I need to be confident again in order to be truly happy. I was feeling pretty low already before the break up, but now it’s like starting from the bottom. I know it is a great opportunity, but it’s hard to look at it that way when I have to deal with so much pain.
“Taking responsibility for what you did means that you realize what you did was wrong, and you vow to try and not do it again. It doesn’t mean that you need to keep beating yourself up about it.”. Ha, my counselor keeps on telling me this. You’re absolutely right and it sounds like you’ve been through similar stuff, too. I will try to remember your words for when i feel stuck (which is about 50% of the time, still haha). Thank you, again.

Cheers 🙂
