All my life, I've been a person whose struggled with anxiety, self-doubt, and anger, a lot of which involves other people. Despite these things, I've always strived to try and do well for myself, taking care of the various aspects of my life. I've got a decent job and car, and take great care of myself when it comes to my health. I do martial arts and read, and am exploring other interests such as scuba diving. Despite these achievements, I feel as if none of it translates at all to confidence of any kind. I'm not a virgin by any means, and while I feel as if I have been privileged with my looks and opportunities, I still find myself feeling nothing but insecurity, jealousy, and contempt in romantic and nonromantic circumstances. It makes me feel the need and desire to isolate myself from everybody else. Can anyone else relate to this total and utter lack of confidence in anything in their life? I feel as if I wake up every day just to suffer, and despite the work I put in, I'm not sure what needs to be done to help myself.
