[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 689101, member: 19905"] I think after so long of guilt, obligation, hopelessness, people can sometimes slip into habits of targeting themselves. That, "I can't do anything right," mindset. You are being completely unfair to yourself. You are only viewing negatives and dismissing any positives. Confidence and love for yourself is so, so important. You can't take care of anyone else if you don't take care of yourself. I don't have insecurity and never have. I do, however, get a little social anxiety (mild) from time to time. My approach is the, "Never let them see you sweat approach." I fake it until I make it, and it eventually subsides. But I do not ever let anyone intimidate me or make me feel inferior. I may feel like a caged animal on the inside, but it is always cool cucumber on the outside. Then I torment myself replaying it in my head over and over in the privacy of my own home. LOL People do all kinds of journals - gratitude, prayers, venting their woes, blessings, etc - perhaps you should do a positives journal. Keep a list of your positives. Make it a habit to write in it and read back over it each day. Train your mind to see the good in yourself, change your focus away from the negatives. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
