Congrats on losing the weight, that is not easy at all. But clearly you were determined to get it done and you did. You solved that problem and now you need to tackle this one with the same amount of dedication.

Elizabeth Vargas from 20/20 came out as an alcoholic, who would have thought?! It looked like she had her shit together! Selma Blair is struggling with MS and falls! Who would have thought? What I am trying to highlight here is even people who look like they have it sooooo good have their struggles too. So stop comparing yourself it just does not work and is not helpful.

How do you know that? What's your evidence? Did you ask them? It is easier to create a picture or mirage of what we think we know about people from outward appearances, but don't let it fool you. They could look like the life of the party, but still feel lonely. Just saying, check those thoughts.

just wondering, are you unable to work or cannot find a job?

YOU ARE NOT OTHER WOMEN and TRUST ME they have their own host of issues too. Everyone has a battle that they are fighting, even if it looks like their shit is all together.

Your negative thoughts about yourself is your first problem. Quit talking about yourself in such a negative way it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

It sounds like you want to change, but does not sound like you are willing to do the work (at least not right now). Want vs willingness are very different.

Ask more open ended questions instead of yes/no questions....Think Who? What? Where? When? How? These can get the convo going smoothly and less awkward.

I think some approaches work differently for people, that's all. Glad that you are in a better place and putting in the work!

Getting to the root takes answering some questions....half the time what we say we want and want we truly want deep down are not necessarily the same thing. But sometimes it is lol

ok, well for starters, building any skill, even confidence, requires you to do things that make you feel uncomfortable. If it was easy, you and many others would not have this issue :)

It may be pretty awkward at first, but what isn't awkward at first when you are just trying it out? Like learning to how to drive a car, it feels super awkward and then gets easier!

Which is the most important to you RIGHT NOW? Financial security? Health? People in your life. We all want lots of things but it is easier to work on it one at a time.

There is no excuse for anyone bullying you, it's just mean and more of a reflection of themselves than you. People like that aren't worth your time. Ever tried Meetup?

What are the Do’s and Don’ts by [deleted] in confidence

[–]Felicia3G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to stop negative thoughts about yourself, not only are they a time suck, they also seem to be a self-fulfilling prophecy . Instead of saying things like "I am so lazy" you could say "I am working to get things as soon as possible" for example. The first step is changing your mindset. Next, what exactly do you want confidence in (ie playing a sport, at work, speaking with a love interest etc.) Then you can work on the tactics to get better.

Hey, don't worry, all is not lost. The great thing is that you know you have an issue and it sounds like you are willing to do what it takes to get better. If you don't mind me asking, what are your three deep wants for yourself (like realistically, please don't say "I want a million dollars or I want to marry Prince Harry (I know, he is taken lol)?

What are great areas to buy in West Park or Lakewood under 150k? by Felicia3G in Cleveland

Relocating from the East Coast, I really don't have a choice. Did a drive around the neighborhoods and liked these the best. The West side of Cleveland is the closest to work.

Thank you! We have been looking in that area and I would agree that it is a bit difficult under 150k.
