new, worry too much about what others think

[korgoosh]

Hi, I've suffered varying degrees of anxiety over the years, from dreading going to school in high school (at the time I didn't know what anxiety was) to panic attacks in university and more generalized anxiety after that. I'm way better now that I know what anxiety is and that it is treatable.

Lately I've been struggling with what others think of me and with my fear of confrontation.

Worrying about what others think has made me focus on getting a good job/career way too much. I think at heart career is way less important than family for me, but I feel insecure about career choices, being successful etc.

I'm working on dealing with confrontation and standing up for myself. I have trouble identifying whether I am simply being assertive when I stand up for myself or if I am being too aggressive.

Hey there, not sure if you've tried EFT? Emotional freedom techniques, with this you tap certain meridian points whilst verbalising the problem, it often in my experience works very quickly with anxiety, I am actually a practitioner in this field, so if you want some guidelines then feel free to email me and I'll try my best to help out... (NOTE this is not me advertising myself for money, I am just offering any help with no charge - just to express my gratitude for the technique).
