Advice on confidence building?
General Support / by Redfox124

...See more Hi, I'm new here so I don't know if I'm writing this in the right place.  I'm going to write this here because I don't feel like I can tell anyone around me, because I don't think they would understand me.  I am a very shy person, with low self-esteem and lacking a lot of confidence, which is quite noticeable, I always think that others are right and that I am the dumb one, the one who doesn't know anything, the one who does everything wrong... The thing is that I am a fourth year medical student, which means that in 2-3 years I will be working as a doctor. Because of all that I have mentioned above, I am a person who gets very blocked mentally, who doesn't know what to do and who does not know how to react to external stimuli, which worries me because what if that happens to me when someone needs my help? What if I have to act in an emergency? How am I going to help people if I am not even able to react to everyday things. I really like what I am studying, but I would like to be able to act differently, to have more confidence in myself, to not care what others think of me... Does this make any sense? Also, I have a hard time making friends for the same reason. If someone speaks to me with a tone a little more aggressive than what I consider normal, I feel attacked and I feel very bad, I don't even know how to respond, or how to make myself respected, or set limits.  Does anyone have any advice on how I can start to improve, to build confidence in myself? I would really appreciate it :)

Feeling lonely
Relationship Stress / by Redfox124

...See more Hi! Well, I am a very shy and introverted person, so I don’t have many friends, (I actually have only 2). And any of those is from university, I am in 2 year and I haven’t been able to make friends there, so i feel alone. When I think that finally I’ve made a new friends the friendship doesn’t last or doesn’t advance. I don’t really know why because I am not a bad person and I don’t harm people (we don’t get angry, and we don’t have a bad ending or anything). It’s like that people get bored of me. I know that I don’t have good social skills because of my shyness and introversion. What would you do? Thanks for reading!
