Confidence issues... maybe?

Right I've recently got with my first proper boyfriend, and its clear that we both adore each other. My problem is, I'm really worried he's going to 'go off' me... like if he takes a while to reply to a text I think I must have said something to make him not like me anymore. Stupid little things I keep thinking like that really really annoy me, because I know I'm being totally illogical, and I half don't believe these stupid thoughts, but it's really bugging me that I keep thinking this all the time cos it makes me really depressed. It sounds completely and utterly pathetic I know, but I guess he's just such an amazing person I can't quite believe he actually likes me this much. :confused:

So the issue isn't with him (it's not like I don't trust him and am worried he will go off with someone else or something, because I know he wouldn't), the issue is with my lack of self-esteem I think. But I don't know what to do about it, because I try to talk myself out of these stupid ideas/thoughts but it never works. So hmm... I guess I'm asking for any advice/ideas about how to improve my self-esteem maybe. Hmm.... replies would be appriciated though. :redface:

Theres nothing wrong with this at all, totally natural behaviour. Don't worry about it.

look at it from his point of view. i bet he can't believe such an amazing girl like you would fall for a guy like him. i guess what i'm trying to say is rather than boost your own self esteem - realise that everyone has insecurities. i hope that helps

The less you act on those misgivings, the less prevalent they will be; and it only gets easier with time. Trust me.

I think that you should think about why he likes you as he obviously likes you enough to go out with him. Maybe even ask him what his favourite thing about you is or something. Hopefully that should give you a confidence boost.
