Stress Center Peer Support

I didn't think I'd be back posting on here again but here I am and need some advice guys.

All my life I had serious self esteem and confidence issues, I also suffered social and generalised anxiety and was painfully shy, It really got me down and I also suffered depression for the best part of my life. About 18 months ago I went through the program along with listening to the likes of Brain Tracy/Tony Robbins and gradually I got the life I wanted, I have had my first holiday, changed job etc, My confidence and self esteem went from 0-100% in the space of 18 months, however this has come with problems.

I have turned into a very self centred person, previously I used to think of everyone else, now I only think of me, I am very selfish, I can be very rude, Ignorant and obnoxious, It is totally subconscious, I don’t even notice I’m being this way most of the time until someone points it out to me, Its just a total flip as to what I was like when I had anxiety, I used to be kind,compasionate,caring to name but a few.

I basically am not very happy with the person I have become and would really appreciate some advice before I push my nearest and dearest away.

Thanks

Is it possible that you're just overreacting to the changes you've made in your life? What I'm thinking is that it can be difficult for people like us to make time for ourselves and set boundaries. So, I'm thinking that you may be overestimating just how self-centered you've become.
