I want some advice on the best way to help someone else, a really good friend of mine who recently opened up to me - i would love to have some advice on building her confidence a little, its mainly self image i think, she hates photos of herself - infact, she says it makes her panicy and sick if i say someone sent a picture with her in it.
I try and tell she looks great, i usually get - "yeah right" or "your crazy"
she seems negative to everything possitive i say.
shes amazingly kind, helps everybody, nothings too much for her, yet she still says she feels bad about being so selfish - selfish must be the las thting anybody would say about her.
In company she finds it hard to be herself, putting up barriers and being quiet, seems to have a fear of rejection - hates the idea.. in fact gets quite scared of the idea peopel would dislike her...
anybody gone through something similar? what can i do to help? how did you get passed these feelings? i know it will all have to come from her to change, im sure she wants to, but i would love to know how to help.
all the best, thanks for your time.
