Feeling so insecure about everything
Hi everyone :)
I don't know what's been up with me. I've felt kind of shitty for a while; I've felt not quite like myself and I seem so insecure about everything. People tell me that I have talents (like singing, guitar, academics, etc.) but even though logically I know these things to be true, I don't really FEEL them. No guys have really taken an interest in me but a lot of my friends say that I'm pretty and smart but being insecure drives guys away...but I don't know how to less insecure.
I felt so insecure about my appearance, my skills (I want to be a teacher and I don't know if I'll be any good at it), and my life in general.....I feel kind of unloved and I want someone to love me and appreciate me for who I am. But I feel like no one wants me.
I used to be so confident and so sure of myself! Now even though I'm outwardly successful, I'm missing that 'umph' and that zest for life I used to have. I used to be so hopeful but I don't know what happened. Maybe it's because of some bad relationship or fear about the future (like teaching, etc.)
How did you overcome your insecurity to find confidence?
I know that I will never get anywhere in the world until I find confidence in myself, so I should probably learn how to confident :)
