I am living a worthless life. I have no self image for myself. I feel dull and stupid. People do not find me attractive or impressive. Life has just become a compromise for me. I crave to become a strong and bold personality. But I wonder if I ll ever be one. M a 24 years old lady. I want to develop my personality since m suffering from social anxiety disorder. N this has further put an inferiority in me. I feel useless. Have even been to psychiatrists. But then I was not satisfied. Plsss somebody help me. Will be grateful for the rest of my life.
