My low confidence and self-esteem is hindering my life in lots of ways, im scared to get into a relationship, people make remarks at work about low assertiveness, I hide away from the world. It's almost an inconvenience that part of me wants more for myself. I am 37 and was hoping I would care less/be doing more.
Has anyone overcome social anxiety/low confidence/self-esteem? Are there practical steps you took? Or did you just learn to live with it?
