Thanks for sharing Mike!!! It's so nice to be able to read and see a real live success story. I wish we could read more on here! I think that maybe as people get better, they don't log on as much - that's why we don't see more stories like yours! But thanks so much for sharing, it's such a nice remi...

I will say that I think this is one area where I think I'm ok. If someone compliments me on a shirt or something I just say "oh thanks, I got it at ....". Then I'll usually say something about them that I like, like a bracelet they're wearing or something. You could try doing that!! You deserve the ...

Hi all, I know this last post if from a couple months ago, but just wanted to share that I bought "The Assertiveness Workbook" by Randy J. Paterson a while ago. It was really helpful in this area, very informative and helps you learn a lot about yourself in this area, which will help you realize wha...

Thanks for the post :D And yes, when you actually implement the skills, it's crazy how you can feel yourself start to feel better.

Hi rj. I see this post was from a while ago but I was wondering how you've been? I was having a similar experience with my job. I was having pretty intense anxiety about whether or not I was doing a good enough job, etc. I felt like everyone could tell that I was freaking out on the inside, I was co...

Hi Bob, I havent' completely gotten over the obsessive scary thoughts, but I have had a few occasions where I was able to notice them when they were starting and prevent myself from getting sucked into them. I don't even know what was going on at the time to make me start obsessing, but I can rememb...

Just wanted to share myself practicing some little assertiveness skills. I noticed at work how when any little mistake happens i over react internally, catastrophizing the consequences of the mistake, beating myself up and blaming myself for it. I process orders for a company and a customer needed o...

Ahh I don't know why it posted twice...

(Even though I did have some small triumphs, which I will be posting in the triumph section after this :D ) Bla I've been having a difficult time lately. I'm listening to the pro...
