I don't know why but is hard to be confident
always scared that something may go wrong if I try
When I'm going to do something as simple as going to look for a job I get afraid and go a step back again....
The same is when thinking on going to Church
I'm going to go but when the day comes, I don't go
I don't want to spend time with the teenagers in the Church but I do wanna at the same time is confusing
I never was like this in P.R back at my town and my Church
There were good times and bad but I did what I had to do and was always social.. I miss does days is hard to be social here
my voice gets low and I begin to be Shy and stay quite
I use to talk to anyone and hang out with anyone and did what I wanted

Exercise, take care of yourself. When you do this your confidence will rise, because you will feel in control, and the exercise helps combat feelings of sadness when they arise. When I had my breakup last year, I had bouts of sadness come on, only to knock them out with exercise, even if it's putting on a good song in the privacy of your room, and dancing.
Be sure to find something that makes you feel good, I'm having to re-realize my purpose in life because so long I've spent my life only doing things for the praise, and attention of others. When you get my age you will see you're just like everyone else, and not everyone is going to care but those few special people in your life.
And don't ever get dependent on someone else to make you feel valuable, because people are flakey, and unreliable a lot of the times. What helped me with my growing, was getting out my comfort zone, I had to run to privacy to cry because at times I couldn't handle it. But it thickens your skin.
