It's normal to feel useless and unloved after a breakup. You're still in the process of acceptance. Don't be too hard on yourself. Break ups are never easy. The important thing, after a breakup, is to concentrate on how you can make yourself feel better. Take comfort and power in the fact that you've come out on the other side. You're stronger than you think.

when you no longer have somebody providing you with that support and reassurance of your value, you can feel pretty empty. the important part is that you find outside things and people that can provide you with that in a healthy manner.

It's normal to be a wreck after a break up. Someone comes into your life, makes you feel specia, brings light into your life. Then they leave, and they take all that good away with them. The thing is, all that good is still inside you and one day, you'll find that out for yourself.

When someone who means so much to you tells you they don't want to be in a relationship with you anymore, it's easy to feel like you are not worth it.

It is natural to feel so after coming out of a relationship where 2 people are dependent on each other. However, humans are great at adapting, you need to feel what your mind demands you to, don't repress it. And then, you continue with an experience you can value later and will help you in the future.

I guess, little bit rejection shadows the self esteem and worthy. So no worries, with time it comes back.

If you are on the loosing in its not going to be easy. In the past i used to get so upset. This is life. It is hard but i learned o stay positive and busy. Do things that you feel you can to better yourself. It takes time. It is a learning experience. Try to make you a better person and a as time moves on try to do things that make you happy. Surround yourself with people who are positive. Find out more of what you need to know more about yourself. Its ok to cry. Just you are in charge i realized to forgive and be happy. You deserve to know that you are in your own life and you are aware that you are responsible for your life. I had to learn this and for me it was then i can move forward. I needed to make it through what i had really good or not to hate myself and be happy. After that i can love again another.

At a guess from personal experience, because you blame yourself for everything. You think that because the relationship didn't last, you must somehow have messed up and are therefore no good at it. That's not true - people are complex and sometimes things just don't work out. As for feeling unloved, losing romantic love is hard as no other love is quite the same, but spend time with friends and family and tell them how you feel - hopefully they can help you see that you'll always be loved.

When you're in a relationship, you're used being with someone who's essentially your best friend. Someone you tell everything to, and hang out with all the time. Someone you laugh and cry with. When you experience a breakup, that communication isn't going to be the same and it's that connection that's going to make you feel unloved. That feeling is completely normal, and there's nothing wrong with feeling that way, especially when going through a breakup. Eventually what happens, is you get unused to all that contact and get used to living without that person, and that's how moving on happens. In order to do that, the most important thing is to focus on other things.
