Hello.

I am 55 years old, divorced, and dealing with low self-esteem and social anxiety.

I am new on my journey and would love any advice on either if not both.

...See more I suffer from low self-esteem. Being 6'-8", I intimidate some people and frighten a few. I can see fear in their eyes. This doesn't happen all of the time. I laughed to myself the first couple of times. I guess it's taken its toll after years of it happening. I'm the nicest guy a person could meet. It's a shame that even in 2025, we still judge a book by its cover.

...See more Hello, My name is Bill, and I am 55 years old. I've always dismissed my symptoms as shyness. Now I am finding out that I suffer from social anxiety. My symptoms have become worse due to 6+ years of isolation due to a separation. I was divorced in March of 2024. This isn't over, it's a do over. I suffer from severe anxiety around women, social gatherings, and gatherings in general. I don't have the best self-esteem. I didn't realize there was help available. I had pretty much accepted my condition. Now I'm eager to learn anything and everything in order to help me live again. I have acquired a therapist and will be starting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I'm anxious, yet still nervous of what's to come. Thank you and I'm always willing for any advice offered.

...See more Hello. I'm 55 years old and still suffer a crippling shyness with women. Ive been like this my whole life. I'm too old to be this shy but not sure where to start. It's beyond embarrassing at this point.
