Hello 👋

louisa694Senior Contributor30 June 2023, 4:16 pm AEST

Hello 👋

Firstly I wanted to drop in and say hello 👋

I’m struggling with living my life at the moment.
I’m very quiet person and I don’t really talk to people. I either don’t know what to say because I’m soo dumb or I just don’t feel like talking. I can come across being rude but I don’t mean to.
I feel very lonely. I only have a few friends but that’s it.
I’m sick of being a shy person. I just want to have confidence but I have none.

The lack of confidence is making me miserable.
I feel soo grumpy and I never smile because I don’t like who I am as a person.

Yeah it took a while to do.
Yeah hopefully I don’t have to wait too long for it. Any support from Centrelink will help a lot.

I went to my parents house today and I’m staying with them until Monday.
I’ll continue the gardening when I come back. I’m staying in contact with friends by texting them 🙂
