Oh dear j, you sound sad & I'm sorry that you have been hurt - but it seems as if this bozo wasn't a very nice guy to begin with and in reality I think you are lucky to be rid of him. It's pretty hard to "pretend to be confident" if you aren't feeling it. Maybe you are just still young and inexperienced and a bit shy about relationships. That can be a nice way to be, especially if you meet a guy who likes ladies who aren't forceful or aggressive or whatever else that appears as cofidence to some dudes. The hurt will pass.
Be yourself and enjoy the journey. There are better guys out there waiting to meet someone like you.
