hi! Newbie here . I hope this post is ok, I have read the handbook, and I’m just looking for some success stories for encouragement . I have recently walked away from an abusive Negative value male and i was at my lowest in 2018 due to his verbal abuse , gaslighting and crazymaking . 2020 is here and I’ve made many steps to improve myself such as returning to university, working out and scoring a pretty nice job. To be clear I’m not asking for success stories on how you scored HVM, because that’s not my goal. I want to create a life worth living, because I still do feel a lot of emptiness and am lonely a lot . I am not in the head space to date and I guess I am seeking advice on how I can improve my life so I don’t need to seek validation from men anymore . Now that I have none in my life , I can put my attention on the weight I’ve always wanted to lose and the goals I want to reach. The problem is I have no friends at all, due to being a single parent and that I lost a lot of friends because of abusive relationship. My most recent friend has ditched me twice every time she finds a new relationship she disappears until they end and then she contacts me again. And the rest were very low value , partying and chasing men. I know I need a fresh start. Any advice ?
