Dont you see though that the ONLY person in the world that can give you self confidence is YOU?!
Self confidence is a gift you can give yourself. It seems the only way you think you can be confident as a man is if your W wants you back. That means you are relying on another person to feel good. Thats dangerous as she might not come back then what?
You said you work in an ER, right? I sure as heck would not want to go to the ER and have somebody taking care of me that did not appear to be self confident!
Just like one builds financial wealth one can also build self confidence "dollar by dollar". If you cant manage a "dollar" right now to start building can you at least manage a "dime". What is one small thing you can do right now to fill yourself with confidence? Any ideas?
Lets say that feeling of confidence only lasts for 5 min. That 5 min. "high" wil give you momentum to find your next "high". Eventually it will become part of your life!
It's just hard to have self-confidence when your wife leaves you!
I am self-confident when it comes to my job. I've been an ER nurse for 23 years, and there is nothing that can come through those doors that'll shake me. This is different though...this brought me right down to the ground. I'm not accustomed to this. I do ER nursing on a routine basis.
I'm sure it'll have to be step-by-step. Confidence in relationships only comes from having relationships. Where does that leave me? That's the last thing I want right now. I'm married!
I feel, right now, that my self-esteem, self-worth, and self-love have suffered a big hit. I feel like I'm by myself in the world.
