Yes, exactly the same. My lack of self-esteem and confidence made me always to hide and going apart from people. So, I was only comfortable with few people I knew weren’t going to judge me.
And now that I’m pretty a new person, I see that I can be myself in many situations and with much more people than before, nonetheless, I still have a long way to run.
I think that I’m gonna get it by giving to myself more chances to experience more social situations.
I’m still a bit confused as to why I can’t engage with others. On one side, I don’t want to force them to be with me (fear of rejection-I guess), on the other side I don’t want to fail them (screw things up if I can’t respond as I guess I should).
As you can see for the ideas I’m now expressing, I’m still confused. But, I’m gonna give myself time to get the answer, if I can someday find it.
The good thing is that meanwhile, I’m having experiences and going out of my shell.
I praise myself for the path walked because just one year ago, I was into my last depression and had lost any hope.
