Oh dear! :( First off, you're 22, so don't worry about having not done much with your life! That's totally normal. It sounds like you had real feelings for this girl. But it's disturbing to hear how she'd put you down. That's not on. Consider that it could be her problem - as in, she's insecure so was putting you down. Some people do that. Please don't let that shape your opinion of yourself now. Be honest with yourself and think about how you could grow as a person and move on. Think about your good characteristics, think about the things you're good at. Heck, even write them down - you might feel silly but just do it anyway. Work on developing your own confidence in your own time. Go through this period of growth and nurture yourself (I hope this makes sense) and you will be better off for it. And any future relationship will be better off for it too. You'll make a great partner for someone special who deserves you and whom you deserve. Good luck.
Is it normal to feel so down over this?
