Yup its the main reason for my on and off friendship with one of myfriend. Problem is he is my boss.. I kept waiting for him to say he trust me so i can feel that yeah he trust me i can do this, i can still change,.. However he just wouldnt tell me even if i ask him straight.. He said he trust my skills but not me, so what will i do with that.. And time and time again i always feel so goddamn deppressed and inept each time i perceive that hes angry with me whether its true or not.. It just so hard..

@tidyApple5488 - Why do you think you need your friend's trust to be able to trust yourself? What do you think makes it hard to trust yourself as is?

@tidyApple5488 Reframed (feel free to tweak!):

"Do I trust myself? If so, then I don't require anyone else to trust me to be able to believe in myself. If not, I can thoughtfullly explore the reasons why and work on building my trust in myself."
