Sometimes I feel so stupid that I’m afraid to talk to anyone. Whenever I talk to someone, I worry about what they are thinking of me. Missing most of the conversation because I’m distracted by my own low self-confidence, I feel like an idiot when I have no idea what they just said to me. I wonder if the problem is that I’m not a bright person and cannot comprehend things, or that I just need to boost up my confidence in many areas. I’ve been feeling stupid on and off my entire life, but I also have major confidence issues. I don’t believe in myself and therefore I don’t try to see the abilities that I have. I mean, my gpa has always been in the 90s but, I feel that I have to try harder than some people. Anyone can do good in school, they just have to be focused and have good studying techniques. I just feel that I’m the only person in the world with this problem. I’m tired of living this way. Any comments? I’m tired of not being able to follow what a person says. Does this explain it all?
