I am 26 and still feel like an insecure teenager at times. I am quite self critical and will often chastise myself for what I say/ think/ do- perhaps to an unhealthy level (though better with that now)
My main issue is I am not a victim- I just get on with things, but because of this I am the sort of person who get angry as opposed to sad about things. Anyway, the point is . .. I often seem to beat myself up for my anger over situations. I get angry with people rather than be hurt - if they do me wrong. (For example)
Things are getting better. I have lots of friends- many I have had for years, but I still feel like a crap negative person sometimes - and wonder why people like me/ or if they really do. I am realising I am perhaps not as negative/ critical as I sometimes think and I am - and I am trying to accept the way I am more, and just go with it.
I keep thinking when I get to my 30s I will hopefully be more confident in my strengths and weaknesses and be kinder to myself. I see others - often older who can laugh at their weaknesses and dont really care. I wish I could not care that I wasn't perfect!
Aibu to hope for self confidence to improve with age?
I am sorry this post is so self obsessed , but due to the context it is pretty unavoidable!
