I've been asking myself this for years. Tell me what you think.
I have no self-confidence 90% of the time. I second-guess every decision I make to the point of inaction. I always think people think I'm a bad person even when I don't have evidence to back it up. I'm so afraid to talk to people at work that I can't do my job and miss deadlines constantly.
In my social life, I'm practically a shut-in. I love my wife, but I'm constantly relying on her for support to the point where she gets frustrated with me for not believing in myself. I'm timid in the bedroom and I never initiate sex because I'm scared she'll say no.
I feel like the world is a hostile place and I'm frightened and inadequate in every way. Despair is a common emotion for me.
I've done counseling before, but the guy was just a therapist, really, and couldn't or wouldn't diagnose me with any disease. I've taken Zoloft, but I didn't like the way it made me feel.
What should I do about this? Is this abnormal?
