i (18m) had a lot of confidence issues growing up due to family related issues, and obesity, but during my middle school years, i gained a lot of confidence from toxicity. but ever since my first breakup in 2019, i’ve slowly been going down this dark hole in life. i’ve began to develop confidence issues and had severe social anxiety. it was like that for two years. in jan of 2021, i’ve met a really nice girl and she meant the world to me. she rly helped me gain confidence and was a major factor for me losing over 60 lbs. but i still had some confidence issues. i thought that would solve all my problems, but it really didn’t 

i just started uni and i’ve been going through it really bad. i thought everything would change, but it’s really been bad. i’ve been struggling a lot with work and i can’t really go out because of controlling parents. it’s just been taking such a toll on my mental health. ig the worst part is that the girl that i was close to for all of 2021 slowly started to break away from me (ig that’s what i’m getting) and like she was the only one i trusted and actually looked forward to talking with. but like i’ve just felt so empty and depressed recently because of everything that’s going on in life.
