So... I came on this thread because I have underlying anger issues... when something makes me angry... I take it in. Sort of like sucking it up with no where to release it and it festers for future use. I recently started going to therapy for my anxiety and turns out I have abandonment issues along with these anger issues and not to mention low self-esteem. So now I'm trying to figure WHO I am and why am I so angry about it and why don't I like the current person I am... It sounds confusing just thinking about it... thing is... I need to motivate myself to WANT to change. To want to gain more confidence... and it's just so hard when I don't think much of myself. I could take me or leave me. And I don't want to play the woe is me card... but I was told I need to focus on myself and that's what I'm here to do. Trying to find different coping techniques to calm my anger, face it and move on... also to gain confidence (somehow... I don't know where to start).

I just wanted to express myself because I'm new here and I thought this forum can at least help me release these thoughts running around in my head.

One of the things that helped me was interacting with different people. (I was forced to for school). Or, you can make up questions and ... answer them yourself. I believe one of the best ways to figure out yourself and how you are feeling is talking to people because you get exchange feedback. if you don't want to yet, you can journal your feelings

Do Not Let Others Define Who You Are, only you can do that! You are defining yourself on what others have said about you, no wonder you are confused.

You decide what or who you want to be, or what you want to do. Confidence only can come from within, and no one can give it you. Take control of your life and just be you yourself.
