Gain Some Self Confidence And Self Esteem

Having not logged in for a year, I looked at my goals and laughed. I’m a totally different person to what I was this time last year and have matured alot.

I would consider this goal complete! Hope everybody else is getting as good as I have =]

i have been taking advice from friends about this and its going well

i feel i need to gain some self esteem and some self confidence. im not sure if this is exactly what i need to do but iv discoverd i have a problem. I have recently been withdrawing from seeing friends and even family because i fear that i have nothing to contribute to the conversation. as a result of this i end up sitting quietly while everyone eles is conversing. this has become a overwhelming problem and i could realy use some advice. why am i so shy.
