This same belief also was the cause of my depression and social anxiety, which made me very self-conscious and scared of other people’s thoughts and opinions (which with my mindset had to be negative), this in effect made me shut myself off even more from the world only further on reinforcing that same belief.
You know I went through the same exact thing. Moving around at a young age, especially in High School, can be a hard thing for a lot of kids (especially kids who are already shy). My parents also had a huge impact on that, a lot of negative thinking with them. Especially my mom, always a cautious person she always drilled it into my head, I cannot do that, don't get your hopes up, it's not going to happen. My Dad is more of a dominate guy who always had to have everything revolve around him. I carried around the same beliefs and I'm actually noticing they are being taken care of, at least, the majority have vanished in the past 2 weeks since switching to Alpha Male.
