My World 2
My Social World I will explain the social world that changes after the effects of a divorce. I went through a divorce recently and it 's amazing how it can change every aspect of your life. My self-efficacy was affected because I had the belief that I was very independent, and when confronted with being alone, I began to have self-doubts of my abilities. I have lost many friends throughout this change in my life. I am now living on a much lower income and trying to meet financial obligations. I have no social life at this present time and have not opened the door to dating. However, although experiencing hardships, I continue to believe that I will overcome this obstacle and hold to the belief that it is actually making me a stronger person.

David, Social Psychology, p. 55). The writer experienced a divorce recently that affected her entire social world. As a result it shattered her existence in her social world. Self-esteem was affected by a drop in income, fear in the unknown, guilt, and resentment.
