It seems as though I have been running on empty after so many posts. Even so, I also had put my plan to post this on the back burner. Thereby, making me forget about it altogether. Still and all, I decided to tackle the issue of lack of confidence this afternoon.

 

For years have fallen victim of my own insecurity. Not being able to strike up conversations with girls from other classrooms when I was in high school for instance. Even though, I managed to make a couple of good friends; I know I could have made a lot more had it not been for this social anxiety.

I surmise, most children develop it due to their upbringing. For instance, since I was very overprotected as a child, it was really hard for me to develop social skills once I became a teen.

 

On the other hand, peer pressure plays a crucial part in the social development of a child. Albeit, and to illustrate the aforesaid point with my own experience; I develop a highly conscious and moral mind-set due to my overprotection. Hence, I was able to reject offers from strangers to do drugs, alcohol, and all that jazz. Not to mention I overdid it a little. What I mean by this is that I exaggerated in my role of goody-two-shoes.

 

Lastly, I would say that I will share a more extensive explanation in the video I am going to post about this regard. In spite of being unlikely, it is possible to change your patterns of behaviour as a young adult. For instance, people with depression who constantly find themselves in a trough can still deal with the problem successfully if the set their minds to it. Without medicating the issue away of course. By the same token people who get easily riled up can also solve their issue more effectively in their late teenage years and early adult years.
