how can i move on from my past? ever since being bullied at school i have become very shy and lack confidence.
I find it hard to be able to start a conversation with people. even some of my family who i don't see often. I can't even answer the phone unless i know who is ringing. I was always bullied or laughed at when i spoke out at school so i stopped talking, now i have finished school i find it hard to move on and i think its going to be like that whereever i go. i also wait for people to tell me what to do i can't make my own decisions, i always try to do whats best for everybody else rather than what i want. how do i get over this?

wow..im exactly the same. in fact...i put up a journal this week about how i only ever do things for other people...never myself. even if i know what to do for myself, i still wont do it. im at university now too, so the whole anxiety and depression thing is killing me. basically...i think u need to work on ur opinion of urself. for a start, the fact that u take other people into consideration shows ur better than most :) over time i promise u, u will b able to stand on ur own feet and be able to do whats best for u, not everyone else

I am exactly like you except I am a lot older. I have major dream to go back to school but because think I should stay in the job I have ( even though I am sure it is killing me) I won't do it

Family's much easier to talk with than strangers, so try ringing someone you haven't in awhile, someone who would be happy to hear from you (I think grandparents are usually good for this one). Ask them how they are, and (if they're not rude), they'll ask you how you are what you've been up to. You can always do a "just checking in" call, you know? See how they are, but then say you've gotta go.. wash the dishes or something. It's nice and short, and they'll be happy you called.
People aren't always going to like you. I think, as you get older though, there's a lot less bullying. Kids are silly, especially in school because there's not much else to do socially than to start drama (because being nice and respectful of everyone can be too much for some people, lol) but anyway. Just talk about yourself, or maybe what you were just doing (like if you just came from shopping and have a story about the lady who had to give exact change or something). Anyway those are just some of my suggestions--hope they help & good luck :]
