I'm in the process of getting out of my first (1 year) relationship because I feel like my needs are not being met. He's the first person I've been that sexual with. I'm very introverted and for the duration of the relationship, I made him my whole world. I submitted to his judgment and followed his lead completely. But he was very immature, inexperienced, and selfish.

​

I feel like my self-confidence and will has been stripped out in this relationship. How do I slowly build myself back up? I only have my parents and very little friends. I have a hard time making friends. I feel like I'm still mentally a child. What can I do to become more confident, speak up for myself, and know who I am? I feel like I don't want to date anyone for a while. Thank you
