Answers:
yes, i know how you feel and many people do. i know this might be the last thing you want to hear (it was for me), but exercise is great. it's only a start, but when you have low self esteem not only does exercise boost endorphins, which naturally make you feel better, but you will also gain confidence with your body even if the results don't come till later. it's really hard at first to get up and work out or walk or run if you are feeling shitty, but think of what you like. do you like being outside? do a sport or activity outside. do you like dancing ? take an aerobic class or jazzercise. being able to achieve something, like sticking through a work out or finishing a book you've been telling yourself to read or cooking a great meal that you didn't know you could cook are all examples of positive things you can experience. the more you stretch your limbs the better you will feel. i'm not talking about huge steps or that you have to go have 3 hard work outs a week...just take small little steps. it's awful what your fiancee did and that you were bullied at school, but look at you...you are still here and you got through those things. they still hurt, but you go on and that's an awesome achievement. it may not seem like it to you, but you have to remind yourself of how much you are worth and give yourself some credit!! give yourself a little time to sort yourself out, then worry about the men. if you love yourself a little more it will be easier for the men to love you too, because you will be open and confident and ready to show yourself for who you really are. gosh i could type about this forever, because i know how you feel and how worrying it is. you will pull through. good luck!! exercise a little to boost those endorphins (exercise also helps creativity if you are that way inclined), keep a journal, and do the things that you love to do and don't forget to give yourself credit for all the little things you achieve and things that make you YOU.

well- what do you look like.... ar eyou 5 ft 5, 230 pounds, then lose some weight. are you thin, gain weight.

are you a mean and shallow person, be caring. its on you. we dont know what YOU are like, What YOU look like it.

Try hypnosis. You are a worthy person and you are justified in feeling that way. It isn't false modesty. Don't wait until you are 40 to realise it. You deserve and can get love, friendship, whatever you want.
