I have been battling with low self esteem almost half of my life. This has prevented me from having a relationship of the opposite sex. I have few good friends, those that could just really understand the person I am. Almost every new year, I have been planning to increase my confidence. But if I face some challenges, sometimes I get discouraged. I want to have confidence in facing challenges and embracing life. I also want to be comfortable talking with a guy. I want to have confidence in dealing with everyday people.,I want to have confidence in the course that I have taken, or in the work that i will have in the later part of the year.
