self love and care
hey there,
Lately I haven't been the nicest and happiest person around. I use to be but I think my insecurities get the best of me and now I feel like a grumpy old person and I don't want anymore. I wish I could be more positive and be nicer to people but now I hate people because I've been only exposed to mean people. I'm also disappointed that I haven't been taking care of myself lately. I'm extremely underweight and skinnier then I use to be. I can't speak very well or formulate a sentence without a stutter and I fumble on words. at work I talk about my personal life way too much and I wish I was quiet instead of loud. How can I change myself to be a better person and not a toxic person to myself?

Well, you seem to know which part of you needs to be worked on, in order to become a better person. Work on each issue at a time. Is it possible to expose yourself to nicer people? If you think you've become mean yourself because of the people around you, maybe you need to change up your social group. Being underweight, are you not interested in food? I know it's difficult to put weight on if you have reasons for becoming underweight because of the lack of interest in eating. Be careful in how you put more weight on though, don't want to be stuffing yourself with junk food. As for stuttering when speaking, we all tend to be a loss of words at different times. Don't think too much about that.
