Breaking Down Options

[demolished]

A year ago, I was very confident about myself and to people around me. i try not to avoid people or i will miss an opportunity to meet new people. I was courageous and fought against my fear. Then, i was able to face and had fun with people. Back then, i had low self esteem and I wasn't quite comfortable socializing with people. I always felt apart from them.



This new school year, i felt different. i lose my sense of who i am. i felt a major impact from last year and this year. Something is bringing me down. i wasn't confident, or courageous anymore which means, I'm really losing myself. I don't even know my goal anymore. I feel very isolated by people and...lonely. I have trouble facing people now. I am a lot less happy from last year. Last year was a blast and all that jazz with friends.



Yeah, I am really paranoid about myself. What can I do about myself? I lived by quotes and it's not working anymore or ... I forgot these quotes.

I know how you feel exactly. It was like over the summer I sudden;y and out of nowhere became shy. It helped that I was going to a new school, and I don't know if that's your situation or not, but it should still work if you're not. You just need to do some things without thinking too much about it, like rawr sock said. Say hi to people you know, and people you don't know while you're at it! And above all, dont talk yourself out if it: just take the plunge.

You mentioned that something was bringing you down...any clue what?
You also said that you don't know your goals anymore. Well, thats where you should start. I don't know what else to tell you concerning that, however, other than set some for yourself! You need to just tell yourself, "Hey, snap out of it! We all go through rough patches, its true, but after we're through moping a little bit (and everyone can use a good mope now and then), we need to move on with our lives!" Do things that you love. Be around people you love. Just get yourself out of this funk anyway you think you can. Once you cheer yourself up, other people will notice, and your confidence should return.
