Frustration

Hi brightPlum9077,

I'm sorry you're currently frustrated about who you are. The road to self-acceptance is a long one that you're not alone on, and so is being able to speak up to ask for what we want. It is however wonderful that you've acknowledged that these are things you struggle with. I hope you'll remember that there is no way to please everyone, and that other people are often too worried about themselves to nitpick at others.

There is a list of self help guides on 7cups if you wish to learn some methods you could use to build your confidence. Perhaps the guide on Setting Boundaries and Social Anxiety may be of interest to you.

I hope you manage to get these things within your control and rebuild your happiness for yourself. :)
