Hi, M26 here. I’ve recently split up with my girlfriend after 8 years together. During that time I slowly lost touch with most of my friends and a lot of my confidence too. We lived together for nearly 7 years, so she became pretty much my whole world and all I really knew. She struggled a lot with her mental health, and over time it started affecting me badly as well. I stayed for a long time because I cared about her, but eventually it felt like she was constantly pushing me away and things became too much for me to handle. I’m just wondering if anyone else has been through something similar, and how you managed to rebuild yourself afterwards. How do you make new friends again, get your confidence back, and start feeling normal? submitted by /u/C5_B6
