Hate being so unconfident

[Insertname123]

Always second guessing people, take things personally, feeling that people are annoyed at me or don't really like me, crying easily, boyfriend has just settled for me, i'm not that pretty etc.
I'm not like this every day, I try to do CBT exercises online, focus on my achievements etc.
Example of how overly sensitive I am.

I told a mutual friend I hadn't heard from X friend in ages. She replied, 'Oh actually, she just texted me 😀'. I felt she was rubbing it in a bit.

I’m not sure how helpful this is but I’ve found time helps. As I get older I give less of a fuck about what people think.

I relate. As DC said it gets easier as you get older but it's annoying having this personality type. Nowadays I just tell myself it's my amygdala doing it's thing and I try to accept it and let it go.

Sometimes easier said than done I know!

She was rubbing it in, people take any chance to grasp a bit of status over others, it's so tedious.

Sounds hard but that you have some good strategies. Would it help to make a list of things you like about yourself.

I think we judge ourselves far more harshly than others do.

I’m exactly the same- I went on a walk with some other mums who I don’t know that well today, afterwards I just couldn’t shake the feeling that I had been boring, talked about myself too much etc. Probably not the case and it’s meant I haven’t focussed on anything good about my day like spending it with my lovely DD!
