I think my confidence is slowly growing. I'm better at making eye contact and I don't get as anxious when holding conversations with people. I still do have trouble socializing in groups and going to different places. I have definitely progressed overall. At 25, I realize that I'm growing up and I have to get it together if I want to achieve what I want. It has definitely been a long, bumpy road, but it is slowly getting better. I thank the good Lord that he allowed me to make it to 25 because I was struggling so much to find my place in society. We have to be strong and realize that everyone is imperfect. We all have some sort of insecurity, but we can't let it take over and ruin our lives.
I just have to keep telling myself to keep on going no matter what. Some days I go two steps back, but I can't let it stop me. I've worked too hard to make it this far and I am not turning back.
