 I agree with StevenRoss, the reason why you think he will look at you differently is because of your low self-esteem.
It took a lot of guts to tell him this, and also this proves that you trust your boyfriend enough to think he will support you after you have confessed about your low self-esteem issues.
So I assume that your boyfriend is a good guy because you trusted him on something as private as this. I also had low self-steem when I was younger and i only confessed it t one person (my best friend and boyfriend). Yes, he did see me differently, but he helped me get through all of this and I'm ok now.
I bet that your boyfriend will too, so don't worry. But don't expect him to treat yu special now that you've told him. And don't expect him to know how to deal with this. I bet he will try as best as possible.
I hope your boyfriend will be able to help you, and good luck.

You think he won't look at you the same because you have no self esteem. Wait until you next speak before you start expecting certain things from him. You did the right thing in telling him, it must of been hard and now he knows, so you can work on things together and hopefully with his support over time things will get better, your self esteem will grow because you know you have someone who loves you for you, who you can be honest with and will stand by and support you. Hope your self esteem grows, I used to be the same but as I've got older I have become more confident and self assured and it feels great.
