Confidence
From someone who had low confidence
Before I got mental help I was struggling with making decisions for myself which correlated with having low confidence. I think individuals experience this feeling at least once in their life.
Sometimes it can be difficult to live life for yourself which is what I was going through.
I got so caught up in titles such as being a cousin, a sibling, a son, etc. I kind of forgot what it meant to be me.
Yes, I’m all of those things but I also have an identity. I think for a moment I lost myself. I got so used to being by someone else’s side when in reality I had to learn how to be alone.
When I started going to therapy, I learned the different ways to gain confidence, one of them being a main point with various factors.
⚫Going on dates with yourself
- Going out to eat
- Shopping alone
- Getting manicures/pedicures
- Taking a walk
- Going to the movies
- And many more
There are many more ways this can be implemented, and I think that once someone starts doing these things, they’ll start seeing a change in themselves.
A big thank you to New Writers Welcome for allowing me to have a platform for my writing. Good luck to everyone on their own journey!
