  Changing might just be seeing who you can trust to let them know you more.

    Anyone who I could perhaps trust, I wouldn't want to burden.

  Be the fullest version of you, hold nothing back, and know we love you.

    That's the problem. Being myself isn't a good thing.

      Hey, I just wanted to tell you that you are good. We all have good and bad sides to us. I guess the more direct answer is to nurture and invest in your good. The bad will always exist in everyone but at the end of the day, you are valid and valuable. It sounds like you hate the parts of yourself you deem bad. That's ok. Learning how to accept your flaws and love your virtues takes time. Personally, it took me years. Be kind to yourself and take your time. And as one last piece of advice, vulnerability during this process is painful but important for growth. You cannot better yourself alone.

  Yes, look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you are as good as everyone else and even better than some and do this over and over until you believe it. For your overactive mind play relaxation music, lie down and relax yourself all over including your jaw. Then breathing deeply imagine you are floating on a thick soft cloud over a blue lake. You are warm comfortable and relaxed. Keep imagining you are drifting while you push all intrusive thoughts away.

  I understand the fear of opening up to people, and it sounds like you've already done some self-growing as is. My advice is find the changes you want in yourself, and take it step by step to make it happen. It doesn't have to be an all or nothing thing, but a process in itself, like the one you've already started. If you're feeling inferior to others, remind yourself that you are strong, powerful, and capable of anything you put your mind to, and repeat that over and over everyday until you believe it. If you're shy, you don't have to throw yourself into an extremely social situation, but maybe try to make a new friend, engage in more conversations, and voice your opinions more. Again, I totally get it's easier said then done, but just try to break things down into manageable bites.

  Hello. It's my first time on this page but when I stumbled upon this I wanted to write something. I think you should reach out to someone who knows you well or even has similar issues. I think that everybody in this society wears some kind of mask and there are few people who can really understand each other. If you don't know anybody you can be truthful with, maybe even seek professional help from a psychologist. However, even if you often feel insecure, that doesn't make you a terrible person. If it's possible, try focusing on things that you do like about yourself. I'm not sure if being alone for a long time can help you better know yourself, you can start overthinking some aspects of your life and thinking about the same problems non stop.

  Live for who you are and who you want to be. There's no need to change things. Just make the most of them, look for the bright side, and eventually, you'll find a way around the pothole on your road to success! <3
