I have been very shy and introverted all my life. People walk all over me and I get bullied a lot (I mean verbally, no one's hitting me). I have no confidence in myself and I have never felt like I've done a really good job at anything. I am convinced that other people are better. I think that other people can sense these things and become encouraged to attack me feeling I can't defend myself. Work is hell because of the condescending and bullying way the others treat me. I do everything anyone tells me to, needing to redeem myself for being so bad at everything. But even with my doing everything anyone asks, they act like I am a slug. When I meet brand new people I am treated nicely, and then once they get to know me the condescending always starts up again. No matter where I am or with who or what job I'm at. This is making me so depressed. Any help? Serious replies only please.

I'm sorry to hear that you feel like this, first of all you need to believe in yourself and take a better attitude in life. As far as trying to loosen up, why don't you find a group in the community where you can be a volunteer, helping others can make you see that your help is appreciated and that you are needed. Help at a hospital, subscribe in the gym..working out might boost your confidence, Make new friends there ask for assistant and do it with confidence. When people see that you are hesitant to ask something , they take power over you and that is not what you want. Show your current friends that there is a new you and would like to be respected with decisions. If they don't then you are not involved with the correct crowd.... good luck and break out of the shell!!!!! =)
remember you need to love and respect yourself in order for others to feel the same.
