im a guy 20 yrs old
in high school i never got out and socialized with people and felt like i really connected with that person.
my father was the type of guy that trys to be everyones friend and doesnt show his true self to anyone and is a true asshole to his family and blows up a small problem into a huge problem in the most insignificant circumstances. so i lost my self esteem and confidence there, and i got anxiety and depression from it.
i was always an adrenaline junky, i loved to be outside and do something physical,
at scout camp i was the expert climber of the week, i loved bein outdoors and feeling that adrenaline rush/ peace and harmony from nature.
im at school now fulfilling a stressful major "mechanical engineering", and i just went to a party "my 3rd one so far" and this was the first time i was able to open up and go crazy while i was drunk and i was somewhat scared but not entirely ok with the situation.
im in the karate club and am really good and enjoy learning self defense, im still kinda afraid of hurting someone else so therefore i dont feel as much confidence in myself from doing karate.
but ive been thinking about the army reserves just part time,
i think that it could really wake me up and get me focused on my future and not my negative thoughts, and at the same time feel really confident in myself while doing what i love to do?
so what do u think?
do u think im going to stress out and not be able to handle it? or do u think il will absolutely enjoy myself and totalyy boost myself confidence by createing great friendships with other people and overcoming alot of crap with them?
also how else can u boost yourself confidence?
im kinda shy and not outgoing and cant really show myself around people because im afraid of what they think.
thanks
