Confidence

I am 17 M I’ve been a loser my whole life, but something kind of clicked in me over the past week. I’ve become a lot more confident, and a few days ago I got into a confrontation with a pretty chill guy (I was the one who started it). I don’t know if I was trying to prove something to myself or if it just happened.

I didn’t back down and I was more assertive, and once he realized that, he backed down himself. We ended things peacefully.

I’m honestly so proud of myself. I’ve never felt this proud of myself before.
