Bonjour,

I'm a little embraced to be writing on here, not because of any ill found opinion that i'm better than it, but because i've read a few stories on here and i feel my problems may seem silly. however i'm aware our problems are always big to ourselves.

My post is really to ask how do i regain my lost confidence?

I feel since my familt moved away from our home, i stayed due to a relationship, and then when that relationship broke down due to none impressive reasons other than growing up. i developed a wee bit of an abandonment problems (this has always been my own diagnosis), since then i have found it very hard to instigate contact with others i may wish to peruse.

Eventually i moved away to start a fresh. it worked i was confident in my new environment and getting on with my life.

However after a relationship ended, and it had been an intense relationship with a girl who was bipolar and clinically depressed. i again lost my mojo or confidence.

My feelings have always been that this relationship was so arduous that keeping the relationship together was the primary focus so i became more and more submissive due to not wanting to upset someone i loved.

This has effected me since and feel that within a relationship i am very submissive and may very well choke the good vibrations out of the "honeymoon period". basically recently i never get past that.

Is there any way this seems silly and easy to fix. i am a very nice person who cares about people and whats going on in the worlds but feel pulled back by my desire for love.

Peace.
