Really Low Confidence Mama

I feel for you.

I am with you girl. It’s so hard especially as a young momma

Definitely feel this. It’s so hard, this is the first time in a long time I’ve felt like I could make friends…

You're not alone. I'm so introverted and tend to zone out or disassociate during social interactions that last longer than a tictac. I desperately want to connect with people, but seem to struggle with being "seen".

@Tanya Yes this is me 100% I completely understand. I didn’t understand the dissociating for a very long time, I always thought there was something wrong with me. Nice to know someone out there gets it!

@Danielle I was a young mom with my first. It’s definitely tough. You got this!!

This is exactly how I am, you couldn’t have said it better. It’s so hard to make friends nowadays. I feel like I try but I get the stink eye lol or the girlies seem to have enough that they aren’t interested in another friendship.

I feel/felt the same. I think it gets better slowly so don’t give up. Little steps and before you know it you’ll be feeling a bit better. It’s important to keep pushing yourself for it to get better Xx

I feel you. Confidence is a skill. The more you practice, the better you get. It's super hard to get out of your comfort zone. I'm a super introvert, like people interaction drain me, ALL the people, even the ones I live with. The way I [try to] see it, you have two options. Accept what you look like and love yourself as is or change it. There's always the third option of complaining and whining about it and just continuing to feel bad about yourself--but I'm guessing that's what you're trying to change based on your post. Someone in your life told you that you're not worthy and being who you are. Re-write your future. Only you decide.

I struggle with my confidence, too... ever since I could remember... sometimes you just have to get out of your comfort zone... it doesn't have to be something huge like go skydiving... it can be something small as smiling at someone when you go on a walk or having random conversations with someone... I read somewhere to do one thing that scares each day... doing something out of comfort zone will be hard at first but after a few times, your confidence will slowly grow...😊

The worst feeling is knowing that the fear of judgement is the reason we hold ourselves back and put ourselves in a shell when we see others be so free 💗 The only time I feel jealousy is when I want to just be myself around people but I can't x

I know how you feel there. I'm the same way. I was bullied when I was a child by the kids at my school and my bloodline members. haunts me since then. I do try to make friends but they seem to never stick around kind of sucks. You feel a little more lonelier, knowing that even if you try to make a friend, they won't stick around.
