Is a slippery slope. It just doesn't go well with Social Anxiety/low self-esteem/depression and so forth.

You become paranoid, you try to be better than you already are so you can please that special person, you try to act beyond your limited abilities and so forth.

It's a slippery slope.

Specially when you become so attached that you depend on that special someone to drive you into doing things, and then if you lose it, you lose everything you built.

It's up to YOU, ME and no one else, people. If you are overweight or if you feel overweight, hey, Spring is coming, the Summer ain't far, the weather's getting warmer and the flowers are blooming outside. Just go out, write, read, shoot photography and explore what the sun has to offer. Be yourself, work on yourself, educate yourself, discipline yourself, live.

Before 2007 came to an end, I told myself that I wanted 2008 to be way different. I want to lose the extra pounds, discipline my mind and my body, become more secure with my appearance, skills and talents, explore what's good in me and live a little. I want to go to music festivals in the Summer, finally get my driver's license and become a better person, a more confident person, the person that's hidden underneath this thick layer of fear, doubt and crappy self-esteem.

What do you do? What are your hobbies? What do you do that makes you feel better about yourself? I want to go out, do something productive and come home at the end of the day exhausted and fulfilled. What makes you feel that way? What is it that's missing?

I dont agree with the main thrust of your post, but i agree with some of your points. I dont believe someone else can make you happy, or give you confidence, you have to do that on your own. Your partner can make everything even better, but it has to be there to begin with.

If you achieve certain goals while your with your partner, well, you did that, not your partner. You may see it as though that person gave you the inspiration or the strength to achieve that goal, whatever it might be, but it was still you that did it, so you know your capable. The loss of that person dosnt suddenly make you incapable.

Take what you learned about yourself, take the positives, remember the good times, then move on. Thats whats healthy anything else is only going to be negative and probably make your condition worse than your were before you even met that person.
