Ugh, that sucks so much, I totally get it. I’m more on the quiet side too, and people just don’t seem to understand that not everyone is chatty all the time. It’s like they take it personally or something?? Honestly, if it were me, I’d probably just ignore it for now and see if it fades out… but if it’s really bugging u and keeps happening, maybe try to talk to them? But, like, gently, so it doesn’t get weird. Just be like, “Hey, I’m not ignoring you or anything, I just need my quiet time to focus.” If they don’t get it after that, then it’s on them. You don’t owe anyone your energy 24/7.

Thank you for sharing your story. The process of rebuilding self-esteem can be challenging, but there are practical steps you can take. Start by setting small, achievable goals for yourself—things that are just for you and not influenced by others’ opinions. For example, picking up a hobby you’ve always been interested in but never pursued. Over time, accomplishing these goals can help you rediscover your identity and build confidence. Additionally, I’d recommend mindfulness practices to help you stay grounded when painful memories resurface. These might not erase the past, but they can help you control how much power those memories have over your present.
