I’ve been struggling with confidence for most of my teenage life whether it was with giving presentations, talking to people, making friends or just going about my day. It really has affected my day to day life in all aspects and I’m really just fed up of it.
I’ve always told my therapists about this issue but they all seem to put it aside most of the time or give me some bs advice like “maybe go talk to people” which I’ve always done and still do but it never really helped me.
I struggle a lot while talking in English with people I don’t know even though I’m fluent and mostly talk to myself in English. I just go blank when someone asks me something.
Whenever there is a person I’m talking to in English I just feel “lesser than” (if that’s even the right way to describe it).
I’m joining a totally new school this year in a whole new city and the people that go there are kind of “posh” and I’ll be honest with you I’ve never had such low self-esteem in the entirety of my life.
I would really really appreciate your advice.
