Hey guys, i have really low confidence;
When I Was At School
I didnt have many friends, i used to hang around with a group of say...7 people, Give or take a few. I didnt really have much confidence then, i never really spoke to people, but i took part in class, sometimes.
One day, i was walking home from school, I was almost at my house, and i had to go down a street, Anyway, i never used to have a problem with this, but on that day i didnt feel right; something felt wrong. I looked behind me and i saw a man, i dismissed it; it wasnt exactly unusual, Anyway, the guy was around about 30-50 meters away from me. But, as soon as i crossed the road (which took no more than 3 seconds) The same guy was right behind me.
This kinda scared me, i was only 12 (i think). At this point, i had to go through an alleyway, well that was enough for me, i screamed and legged it, the guy didnt follow.
The day after i was ok, i got home and all was good. but then i dont know why, but i was beginning to get scared walking home, and it got worse and worse and worse. It got so bad that i had to go to my grandparents hose every day (they lived a lot closer to school than my house.). I hadnt walked home on my own in around 1-2 years.
Not long after; I used to cover my face, I grew my hair very long so i could hide behind it, nobody saw what i looked like for easily over a year.
After the 6 weeks holidays, i had a haircut, it was a huge step for me. But, my confidence was still crap. At this point i only used to hang around with one of my friends.
Now, i left school 1 year before i was supposed to, because i hated it.
Present Day[/align]
On Xbox, i cant even speak to people i dont know; because thats how low my confidence is...I can speak to my friends fine, But if i ws to break contact with them for 1month+ i would find it very difficult to speak to them again.
So, does anyone have any tips on confidence? Thans
TL;DR: I Was followed home, now i have very low confidence, Do you have any tips?
