...See more I thought over it a lot, and came to a conclusion that I am being self conscious over tiny things.  I fear what others will think about me so much that i dont show up. Specially in my professional life. I have this imposter syndrome and feeling as if i talk to this stranger and may be more talented than me person, they will figure me out. I am so much afraid that i dont post anything on linkedin because everyone will know what i am doing and now that i dont have a job, its a necessity to post.  I know th theory behind the solution that, evryone is busy in their own problems, that no one cares, its only in my mind. But when i have to put this in action, I dont even remember this things.  I am capable of doing any work and I am great at it, specially my field of work. But I still feel that people will figure out tht I am faking my confidence and may be I am not that smart. Any suggestion to avoid self consciousness?

...See more Todays worl expect you to be strong and independent. When describing a independent woman, you have think of her as a boss lady, who can doesnt take no for an answer, who doesnt take any disrespect, who doesnt cry and can handle anything. I think of her the same way. But looking at my current state, i feel like i can never be like the strong lady boss. I dont have what it takes to be that strong woman.  I want to be a leader and be independent. But I cry a thousand times, even on minute things. May be a phase, or just who I am. I even cry in front of people, even though I feel shame about that, I cannot control my tears. I have a soft heart. I know crying is not bad and everyone cries and have their own battles, but I am someone who feels exhausted, in this hustle culture and feel lonely and unsuccessful. I dont have a job past 4 moths, the job I left on my own for my better health and mind, but feels like i am stupid as I am trying so hard.

...See more Feeling lost, I am 23 and will turn 24 this year. I quit my job last month, and I know that I have plenty of time in my hand, but I am not sure what to do next. I applied for many jobs but not getting any response. I am not sure if I want to to do a job or freelance or start a business.  I was so devasted last month that my entire confidence was shook. Now I am feeling good but dont have the correct path yet. My top issue is my confidence and public speaking. I fear of expressing myself to others professionally. Even though I am smart and have more than enough knowledge, still imposter syndrome gets me every time.
