Okay so you need confidence.... hmmmm.... well first of all you need to assess your self. Confidence in the way you look is the first step. Remember anything that might be wrong with you, could be worse for someone else. Next make a list of the things you are good at. Then make a list of the things you would like to accomplish (Going outside, spending time at the mall, getting a bigger social circle) Baby steps honey.
Reply:Pick something you enjoy doing and be determined to be the best at it. If you like drawing, then draw, if like writing then write, if you like skateboarding then do that. Whatever it is try to be the best at it and not only will you gain confidence but you'll gain friends in what you enjoy doing together. Then you can take that confidence to every fascit of your life.


As for the anxiety disorder any problem like this has episodes, you're not anxious all the time. You need to identify what makes it happen more frequently and try to avoid that. Secondly when you feel it coming on, it's like an attack and you need to recognize the signs you're getting an attack. Then you need to come up with a strategy to fight it whether it's removing yourself from the situation, slow regulated breathing, closing your eyes. Ask someone else who has this disorder.


For me personally, sometimes i have an anger management problem. I feel myself start to get overly angry about something and recognize my feelings are getting ahead of my logic. What i usually do is remove myself from the situation, go to a secluded room or area and try to hold myself over until the feelings pass. Within five minutes I'm a new person and then I can analyze the situation and deal with it then. Try all that and good luck.





Also, pray to God for mental health. He is always there for you!
Reply:The root of the word confidence is "confide", which means "to have full trust".





The problem is that we generally "confide" in everyone but ourselves. So our "confidence" hangs on everyone else's opinions.





So, to build true confidence, begin to realize that you are the ONLY one that knows what is right for you. No matter how old or wise or parental anyone may be; no one has ever been you, and no one will ever be you. (Well, this is true for this physical time-space reality, but that's another discussion.)





So, don't fight against others that try and impose who they are onto you, they don't know any better. Just allow them to be who they are and appreciate them. Then be you as much as you can be. Just stay in touch with how you feel and trust that guidance system.





Now, in regards to making friends, you have already set that desire forth into the universe, so you don't need to focus on the asking of that anymore. The only work to be done there now is to allow the universe to answer you, but getting into a place of expectation in regards to your new friends.





In other words, right now you are focused on the lack of friends, rather than the feeling of having new friends.





So just do whatever makes you feel good, singing, painting, drawing, rolling down hills, swimming, playing guitar, whatever it is you do. If your focus is primarily on what makes you feel good, then all of those things you have asked for will arrive in your experience.





And, worst-case scenario; you'll feel good.
Reply:Try rubbing your ears and say to yourself something like: "I am confident and make friends easily." Do this for a while. Also, say this affirmation while you look at yourself in the mirror. Remember to word it like it's in the present. Good luck!
