The only way that I know to heal a damaged heart is to stay busy. While my best friend used to bring over icecream and sit with me and watch the Notebook, I just felt WAY worse. Over time, I learned that if I forced brokenhearted individuals to go out (even to look around Walmart), they felt better than the pity party scene made them feel.
As far as confidence goes, I'm not much of a booster. If someone is saying how ugly, fat, etc. she is, I just want to tell her to get over it. We all have body issues (well most). You fake it until you make it.
Well, I talked about the pity party friend, but I've had other friends who have randomly called me because they could tell something wasn't right from my texts. It always makes me feel better.
