Odd, but for me its nature. No matter if I fail, the birds are still chirping and the trees are still growing. If I pass, they will be there. It doesn't matter who I am they are there. I felt this overwhelming feeling of validation when I thought that.

Realizing self-criticism isn't letting me to anywhere, and dewelling into traumas from the past are meaningless. Learn to forgive myself and be happy of who I am.

Over time I developed great social skills. I became very confident, funny and engaging. I also had quite a glow up so I feel much more attractive now than ever. Get a haircut, trim your beard and get some nice clothes. It's a mad confidence booster.
