I know how awful it feels to be in company with people when I have felt like they are better than me.

The hard fact is this: they are not better than you. Everyone is valuable.

Coming to believe this is a whole different ball-game and takes time and practice.

The only way I know how to begin to change this is by letting people get to know you. Start being really honest and let people get to know you. In my experience I was really surprised at how many unique qualities I had that people admired, as I thought I was the pits! You've got to let people begin to get to know you. The ugly beliefs we hold about ourselves are not true. You're just fine as you are. Good luck!
