I get it. Believe me, your self-confidence is likely very attractive for most men! Its sad to see the internal troubles of a loved one throwing off such a reality-based gift (your self-assurance).
W was the first woman I'd ever been in an R with that had such trouble with that. I didn't notice it 'til later, perhaps b/c she was on a 'high' from the early part of our R, or b/c I was better at loving her then, or b/c of her great acting skills (she was great in drama/plays in high school/college) or worsening depression.
Regardless, I'd love to see her more confident again.
