Why do you think so little of yourself? Living like this just sounds suffocating.
He sent you words of affection? Well, he may even mean every single word he wrote or said to you. Every person is different and has an own strong point, that attracts others. People like him, who (at least it sounds like it) are quite popular with others, are able to...... reply
I don't know about the situation, so I am going to talk about what I know about my previous relationships. I really don't know if it applys to you at all.
Sometimes people make you feel bad while making it seem as if they are trying to make you feel good. It might be the way they say it or other things they say that don't seem related.

I"ve been married for 14 years now and we have been together for about 16 years. My self esteem is very low one could say gutter scum thinks better of its self than I do of myself. But even with all my low self esteem my hubby still loves me and praises me. He says I'm pretty and all that stuff though in my mind I don't see how he could think such ...... reply
It´s the first time since I was 14 (now 34) that I haven´t had any boy/girlfriend for more than a year (now it´s three). Personally I love having my schedules and routines and more time for myself. Also, sleeping by myself is NOICE (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ reply

Not worrying about how the other person feels or if I'm being too clingy or too distant or too whatever-the-frick-quality-the-person-i'm-dating-doesn't-like. It's very freeing to not have to worry too much about...... reply
The being nervous in public situation's is a different beast all together so I'm going to put that aside and focus on the whole self esteem thing. I find one of the biggest mistakes people make is getting into relationships thinking that a relationship is about receiving validation and worth from someone else (aka your significant other). No matter...... reply

I'd say there's no fixing it. You'll never get rid of it, the nagging corrosive voice will aaaalways be there. It does get better; you can train your "rational" mind to overcome shyness so you can get what you want buy first you need to know what it is that you WANT AND NEED, that way you can start screening your actions by asking yourself "is doin...... reply
