Been feeling self concious and paranoid lately.....How....?

Question

Can I get a bit of self confidence back to lift my spirits?

Answer 1

One of the ways of being confident is remembering how you came thru tough times before. You have made to this point haven't you. And you know there will be even more tough times ahead. Thats life, When I am feeling down I read the Bible, it lifts my spirits and gives me hope. Also I usually treat myself to my favorite food, try to get a little more sleep than normal, this helps clear your mind because all this is just in your head, You are young and strong so get on with your life, the Sun will come up tomorrow and refuse to feel bad about it, remember, we can choose to be happy, so just step up and smile!! Good Luck,

Answer 2

not sure but this poem seems to help others and the www.coping.org helps too!

copy and pasted from Coping.org

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental,
To reach out for another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing true self,
To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk their loss,
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure,
But risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he has forfeited freedom.
Only a person who risks - is free.
