It's weird. With the way my life is going right now, I shouldn't lack any confidence. I just can't seem to gain the confidence I need to be assertive in a social environment. But in a professional environment, or when I'm working with a group on a project, I'm very assertive. But then again, I've always been somewhat of a loner. I really only have one good friend and that can be attributed to my nervousness issues when talking to new people. I'm just not a social person I guess. In 10 years time, I guarantee you I will be a work-aholic with no social life, I guarantee it! (starts repressing emotions -_-)
