When it comes to people, especially starting a conversation for my own self-enjoyment, I'm not confidant at all. I just have terrible anxiety around people I don't know. I've come to the conclusion people naturally don't like me and I'm cool with it now, I am who I am.

Confidence, all you takes is to build it up little by little. It's like exercise, you start slow, then start doing things that are more complex and eventually you'll do them like it's 2nd nature. It worked for everything I done but social situations.

I think were all trying to fight for happiness. But I'm a patient man and eventually, we'll get out of this shit. You just have to believe it.

ha! exactly how i feel regarding the conclusion that people don't naturally like you. ive realized that it don't mean shit what strangers/acquaintenances think about me i am who i am.

on a side note confidence and arrogance are two completely different things that alot of people mix up in their lives.

i tend to be the strong silent type until i trust you, until mj then its ps3 time

I'm not sure.

not find the girl you once where DD. We change all the time.It sounds like your life has changed with the arival of your children.Being a parent is the most important thing you can do right now.Try and do it the best you can.You have a lot of responsability on your shoulders-----it is bound to give you a run for your money.Do not feel alone--------- all parents come to the realization that they have more to worry about than just them selves, and that is pressure.HANGE IN THERE.

well i'm still working on things both my confidence and my parenting :) both are going ok. i know my life has been tough and at times it still is but i'm lucky to have as much as i do. i've made more time to be outdoors in the countryside and i plan to go on a few trips with the kids to sunny eastbourne to visit some friends and i'm building bridges with some old friends too, along with increasing my music intake and getting a cheap regular supply of green things are going in the right direction i'm looking forward to the summer.

i intend to fufil some more of the things i've been missing next venture getting back on a horse for first time in 8 years and taking my little girl along she loves them and it'll be good for us to share it.

I think most people if not everyone drastically overestimates the amount of attention and judgment people give them.

I think you just gotta remember that the people around you arn't just figures, theyre souls just like your own with their own anxieties. When you feel good about everything going on in general your confidence will come back but in the mean time just appreciate that you usually judge yourself FAR more than others do

I think you just need someone to acknowledge all the good and hard work you have been doing.. You know your a good person.. you do good deeds. and you take care of ur shit...

Sometimes we just need to hear it from others..

I think everyone's been in ur position. i know i struggle with a lot of what you struggle with. Some days i can look in the mirror others I cant.. Wake up and tell yourself today is good and everything is going to go smooth. That way when anything heads ur way you can conquer it.

Best of luck to you and I hope your feelings have turned around !


oh by the way im a cocky bish.. :thumbsup:

I think for most people they try to always associate the time they spend with a feeling such as content or suprised or tired. But in reality everything is reality and that means that what you are feeling now is your life, as life is not guarenteed, and it is in this way god telling you in your mind that you need to change, become happy, and live a happy life. your body is depressed because you are doing something physically or emmotionally wrong, whatever it is, and all your body knows is that it wants it to be fixed so it can become happy. Find contentment in the little things and everything will become better.

its the weed man. it will make you see that 80% of the people you meet will be liars/backstabbers/assholes. keep your friend circle tight and never put too much trust in anyone, because a lot of times depressions stems from people letting you down.

Probably the best and most important post I have read in this Forum that has to do with personal integrity!!! Excellent! PR:thumbsup:

Glad to hear you have plans on the countryside, sounds like you need it! PR

The acting school I'm attending has really helped my confidence and my ability to simply not give a shit. In the field I'm entering confidence is VITAL and there is just no room for any doubt or self-consciousness. Plus, it is totally irrational to be insecure, even if you are ugly, stupid and in need of a sense of humour: such people make it all the time if they just believe. Sounds like a corny after-school special, but it's true. And any talk of being realistic is bullshit--any limitation you acknowledge will remain in effect.
