Thank you Mo2 and Sus.

to count my blessings I have to tell you that for the first time in my life I have a good job and enjoy my job. In this thime of economic crisis I have to be thankfull that I have a job. I loive in a nice apartment in a nice location and my son lives near me.
So we see each other once a week.
I have many things to be happy. I just have to get higher self esteem and feel better on my own.
It is selkf esteem.
I havew spent all my life picking up the peices that my mother left of me.
Now I have to grow up. That is all. Love my slef and grow my self esteem. I thought I was there until I started dating for the first time in my life. Now I know that I amnot there. This guy told me, "You have been picked on all your life" that is what made me feel bad. That is what made me feel ashame. I transpire the abuse, my behavior in someway let people know that I was abused all my life.

Vy the was, I went to Borders and they did not have the book They would order it but would take three weeks to get there. I went then, to Barbes n Noble and they said it would get to them in three days. So, I will have it thisweek and start reading it. In the mean time I bpight "Date Like a Man" and started reading. It all goes to self esteem. Men like women who like them sleves. My spirit was broekn so badly all my life that is is very difficult, But I know I am pretty, the mirror tells me I am pretty. I am skinny, my body looks great, so, it is only my slef esteem that I have to enhance,. I am educated and intelligent. It is only self esteem I ahve to work on.
Thank youf or your help.

Dear Lupita
 I bought quite a few books on male/female relationships b/c I was brought up by a Boob  :shock: and needed to learn simple things that people with good mothers learn.
 They have helped me SOOO much with all people, not just men.
 There are certain "laws" to human relationships like scientific laws like gravity.
 Maybe(just maybe) with the last guy, you seemed like you had too many issues. Men don't want to learn about all our issues at the beginning. They want to feel like we will be fun to be with.
 Later , both men and woman share issue type of  stuff.
Anyway, the books talk about all these things.
 You are right that self esteem and self respect is really the sexiest thing.
 A confident man or woman is a sexy man or woman.
 I am learning that the BAD was bullshit. It is coming off slowly cuz I had to take it on for survival as a member of my family.
 Another thing that helps me is friendships with woman who have good self esteem, just talk to them and watch them and see how they view themselves.

PS  How we have hated ourselves is a really sick, distortion!

Yes yes yes, (((Lupe)))

Keep investing in yourself.

Know you're worthy and deserving of happiness.

Keep nurturing yourself and reaching out to positive things and people.

Time and experience will add to your self confidence and self worth.

Believe in yourself Lupita, and others will too: )
