You going to have to fake confidence if you don’t have it. tell yourself you don’t care what others think even if it matters. be more accepting of yourself, even if you not. remember the more you think about these things the more anxiety you build.. i know. you need to control the speed of your heart and to do so you need to control your thoughts. So try thinking of other things. If someone speaks to you about your cuts then speak to them like its something of the past and not the present.
So my point is if you can’t be confident, lie to yourself or pretend to be confident. In reality if someone else can’t accept you its not your fault, they just having grasp the tools or know how to change their mind yet. Stop thinking about yourself and think about having fun, and once they see past your scars if they are reveal you will deal with other things better. – good luck!
What if you meet someone who is going through something similar to you? What if you help or are able to support someone else cause your experience gave you insight?
Fear is an interesting word…here’s something to think about. This is what your fear stands for.
Future Events Appearing Real – You have practiced yourself into reacting to events that have or may never happen. Can you breathe, & bring your attention to what is happening now…when you do this, you will feel safe, calm, & in a better state of mind.
You’re way stronger than you think. Your scared cause you’re thinking about the future…choose to take be in charge of those thoughts that take you out of your present moment. Sending good vibes. Take care.
