Fatima asks<\/h2>\n

I’m 21-year-old. I recently met a guy whom I shared many common interests with. We had a mutual connection and our relationship grew deeper and we started planning for our future ahead. Before our official engagement he left me because his mother asked him to. She didn\u2019t like me although we only met once. This has caused me to lose confidence in myself and everyone around me. I don’t know how to deal with people around me anymore. How can this get better?<\/p>\n

Dear Fatima<\/h2>\n

This happens more than you could ever know.\u00a0 This is a typical story that I hear at least once a week.\u00a0 People tell me but often don\u2019t even tell their friends.\u00a0 They will report that they changed their minds or site some other reason for things not moving forward.\u00a0 The truth is this might not even be about you.\u00a0 His mother might not think he is ready for marriage yet and just blamed it on not liking you.\u00a0 It is easier to blame a stranger rather than her own son.\u00a0 We don\u2019t really know what the story is.\u00a0 Thankfully it happened before you got too far in the process.\u00a0 Give yourself a little time to emotionally recover then start gently forcing yourself to go out again.\u00a0 It is natural to feel uncomfortable\u00a0at first so don\u2019t be shocked by this.\u00a0 Don\u2019t wait to feel better so you can do better.\u00a0 Actions always come before emotions.\u00a0 This means you might have to go out a few times before your emotions shift.\u00a0 Remember you are still the same person you where before his mother came along!\u00a0 It is natural to learn more about trust as you go through your 20s.\u00a0 This will not be the last time your concept of trusting others will be tested.\u00a0 It is OK struggle with what is too careful and what is too open.\u00a0 The only real mistake you could make is to stop living.\u00a0 Go out with friends again and you will see that your confidence will return.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_single_image image=”16085″ alignment=”center” border_color=”grey” img_link_large=”yes” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
