I need to be able to believe in myself. I don't know if I ever had but it does not matter, all that matters is now. There are things out there that I want to do but I am too nervous to do, maybe I think too much, I don't know.
I feel like there is something inside me holding me back. I'll be fine too a point and then let's say I am about to do something and inside me I "hear," "they are all watching, don't look stupid, don't -blam!- up, you are not good enough."
I am not by any means a depressed person, it's just that I am sick of being like this, I think I may have always been or things in my life have caused me to do be so.
Any tips about how to get rid of this,
You have to find a reason to believe in myself. Find something that gets rid of your insecurities with other people for the time being. Some people do it through sports, drinking, going to amusement parks, whatever, anything that lets you forget what you're afraid of. There still will be some fear, but then you need to take risks. Gotta force yourself out of your comfort zone.
