I have struggled with anxiety and insecurity off and on throughout my life. My stbx is emotionally and physically abusive. I am somewhat of a Stockholm dude and am working towards a positive relationship.
Since leaving my stbx i have had multiple women initiate interest. I'm short, fat and have a mediocre job. Remember that you are the master of your reality. And the pain is temporary. Reach out to the people you have neglected. They miss you and often think about you.
