Hello lovely ladies,
Hope you are all well! - ish?
This is such a welcome discussion, you tend to think it's just you, the lack of confidence thing, not being thick skinned, tired of apologising for other's rudeness, the list goes on. I can identify with all of you. I realise I am not alone.
I don't really have a family, I was never good enough, sad memories of the past come back and clip you round the ear, as if things were not bad enough. I so long to go back 20 years and do things differently, but you can't, and it hurts so much, realising how much time you can waste not liking yourself, beating yourself up and over analysing things to the hilt.
Like most of you it's what I do.
I started a new job and new manager arrived, who is trying to show me the door, ....i don't know, what do you have to do. AT 51, life should surely be in it's prime, alas...
Quite sad at the moment, and wonder what next year holds.....like I suppose we all are, not just me.
On that note it was helpful to read your posts, and just want to wish you all well,hope Chrismas offers time to relax and recharge!
