    Due to having minor depression and major anxiety issues, i have low self-esteem. Im starting High School soon (im excited to get back to learning, but i hate everyone except my small group of friends and the stressors the come along with High School are overwhelming) and not only do I pretty much hate myself (when im not playing guitar), i have the social skills of a rock. How can i just be more self confident?

    I'm not sure if it would work for you, but for me faking it until I made it, helped me quite a bit :slight_smile:

    I don't really believe in social "skills" per say. However, I think that everyone has their own style. And since it's yours, you are the only one that knows how to use it. So just own it and nothing can go wrong :thumbsup:
