Ive never had trouble making friends, but I do have low self esteem and I lack confidence in myself. Its because of this that I end up putting up with too much shit from people to maintain relationships. A person shouldnt have to.
Self-esteem
G
Hi,
Having just moved into a new city, I guess the next stage is to make friends. I haven't ever had trouble with this before but Im finding that I am lacking in confidence and self-esteem. It seems that for the last few years I have lived and breathed anxiety and depression and dp and quite frankly, I feel that I have been stunted in various areas of my life...like hobbies and relationships. I feel inadequate and boring and like maybe Im not worth getting to know.
I know that my insecurity and lack of confidence is apparent in some of the ways I put myself down in front of people. I wish I could stop doing that. I feel that focusing inwards so much of the time has made me very boring. Has anyone else felt like this due to their anxiety and or dp? Im sure Im just being paranoid and this will pass but at the moment it seems real to me.
Anyway, Im just wondering....
