“ I’d rather put on this grey baggy sweater and black pants. Don’t want to stand out”.
“I won’t even try to take part in this contestant, I won’t win anyway, the rest are much smarter”.
Or even, “ I’d better not say anything. Anyway, nobody cares about my opinion, it will only irritate”.
These are symptoms of the horrible illness called “self-doubt”, which hit me severely, when I was at school. It contributed to my timidity, sensibilitysensitivity, fear to make decisions and to express my opinion, inferiority complexes and low-rating self-esteem. As a result, I only had an only the “great” company of gossips and moanerscomplainers.
Though, I cared too much about others people opinion and decided to leave everything as it was.
A nightmare. Not the most pleasant memories in my life.
But I couldn’t stand it anymore, I felt that I should change it, and the faster the better. So one day, I collected gathered all my the courage that I had, came went up to* {or approached} my classmate, explained that I had left my company and actually asked her to be my friend. I liked her, she wasn’t affected by others people's opinions, did what she wanted to do, and said what she wanted (to say). I was afraid at that moment. I was sure she wouldn’t agree. But to my great surprise, she accepted me easily and told me: “You finally you did it, I didn’t understand what did you were doing there”. We are still best friends now. Though I was glad to have a new friend, I still wasn’t confident enough to stand out or to express my opinion, I still thought that the rest others were against me, gossip about me and judge me. And what I wanted the most was to be independent. And I succeeded.
*"Came" can have a sexual connotation, so it's better not to use it to mean that you went to talk to someone.
