I used to be very confident until I hit my 20s where it has slowly deteriorated over the years. I knew I could do things if that makes sense, like get a new job and do well in the interview or make a fancy meal with the confidence that it would work out. Now however I question everything I do and don't feel capable. I have a stream of negative thoughts such as 'I could never do that' or 'It won't work because I won't be able to do it'. I've started to feel like a failure allot of the time and it's getting worse as I get older nearing 30s. It's like someone has come and replaced my personality with the complete opposite of what it was. There are certain members of my family that always seem to put me down in one way or another and make me feel inadequate. I know that they look down at me and see me as the weak link so to speak. What I don't understand is how I dealt so well with it for years but now I let it bother me. I also sense the expectation of failure from those around me when it comes to me starting something new and when I do fail they're there to critique. Why now does it affect me? It's so frustrating. How do I get the 'I can do this, I don't care if you think I can't' attitude back.
