Since discovering trp (lurking 2-3 months) I have taken steps to change myself such as going to the gym and being more social all around. However, I used to be a huge beta and people that used to know me still treat me as such. For example, I started going to a dance class just to add to my hobbies. I used to be so nervous, apologizing for making the slightest mistake. I have now become more confident but the opinion is still there that I am an unconfident person. One day the group of guys went out for a smoke and the girls just jumped in telling me "oh how come they didnt bring you along" in a mocking way. I just ignored them and changed the conversation but I feel like I didn't handle that well.
