Hi,
I'm back to dating again after a relationship of 3 years that I ended and then almost 2 years happily single.
I'm trying to get more confidence, which is something I've always struggled with. Does anyone have any ideas, tips. Do you just have to fake it?
I went on a date recently and on our 2nd date he said he couldn't read me and I seemed a bit shy. He did say he liked my sense of humour though. I said I'd probably warm up a bit as I got to know him. He asked me if I wanted to see him again and I said I did and we plan to meet up again.
But he's a confident, outgoing guy who seems to have loads of hobbies, friends, interesting job, and I feel a bit dull and unsure of myself. This isn't just with him- that's how I feel quite often.
I have had some struggles in my life over recent years and people who know about all this tell me regularly I'm 'strong' ' resilient' etc but I really don't feel it.
Anyone got any ideas on how I can boost my confidence or any stories of people who've become confident? I'd love to hear them. Thanks
