A in The Scarlet Letter defines the novel; I in my life defines me. Insecurity is the reason for my self-doubt and why I hold myself to fail or be unloved.

I would consider myself moderately anxious about public speaking. I remember the first few communication apprehensions I experienced in my personal and work life. With my personal experience, I was at church when I shared a testimony with the bible study. With my work encounter, I had to conduct status updates for two areas during project implementations and testing phases with a large group. In both situations, my heart pounded loudly right before I spoke and when the words came out of my mouth, I felt like I had to speak quickly like Speedy Gonzalez!…
What’s your favorite color? Mine is blue. I wear blue clothes everyday, my room was painted blue, and somehow, this particular hue of light, knows everything about me. Based on, Your Personality Color by Judy Scott-Kemmis, it says I “appear to be confident”, I am “genuine and sincere”, and I “am a rescuer”, which are all spot on. The rest of the facts that are not-so great also apply; “vulnerable side”, “worry about every little thing”, and “rigid”.…

See i had just moved to the new school district area sure I knew some faces but, not enough to make me feel comfortable enough to talk in front of others. I don't remember why I had become the shy type all of the sudden when i spend middle school as a social butterfly but, earth to jenna we weren't in middle school anymore we we're rolling with the big dogs now on the path to college. See not only was i shy but i was also extremely self conscious at the fact that although i was technically i high school student my height and voice were still in the hallways of middle school. I thought this was normally though; the shyness that is not the height we know for a fact my height was not normal, but then day without talking to anyone turned into weeks and before i'd known it it became two months into the school year and no one has ever heard my voice and they probably don't even know my name.…
I went through eight years of school without saying a word to any other students or my teachers. I had been to multiple psychiatrist and psychologist as a child in elementary school, my mom had no idea why I wouldn't speak at all in school and honestly, I also had no idea as to why I wouldn't either - I just couldn't. After several appointments with many people, there wasn’t one who could figure why I wouldn’t talk either, I was even prescribed medications to try to help the situation. Since I was so young, I don’t remember having these appointments, except for one. I only remember one psychologist and she was the one who was able to say that I had selective mutism.…
I sat there in the doctor’s office at the ripe old age of 8. I was trying to figure out what the doctor had just said, “You have been diagnosed with severe anxiety, severe depression, insomnia and ADHD.” So I am going to be freaking out all the time and always be sad and can’t concentrate on anything for the rest of my life? I just knew that day was going to be the last day I would ever be able to live my life normally. I had recently made a huge move from Washington to Colorado, and my life was spiraling downhill.…
The Obstacles that Prevent Me from Reaching My Goal Core beliefs are beliefs that are repeated thoughts that people hold on too strongly. “These beliefs become the lenses through which we see the world. Whether accurate or distorted, our beliefs dictate the choices we make at each fork in the road” (Downing 178). When I was a little kid, I unconsciously formed core beliefs about the world, other people, and myself. For instance, throughout my childhood, my parents tended and comforted me, and they provided food and warmth for me.…

Introduction: Attention Arousing and Orienting Material: I first became aware of anxiety when I was in high school. That’s when I realized I was different than everyone else, or at least from most. I couldn’t talk in front of the class or become friends with new people because I just couldn’t talk to anyone. The idea of people watching me was terrifying. Unfortunately, I didn’t know how serious anxiety could be when I was in high school.…

As a child, I was always withdrawn, almost as if I was in my own world entirely. I tried my hardest to become extroverted, but overtime problems arose with my speech and social anxiety. No one knew at the time, but this part of my personality impacted me a lot as I grew older. I developed a low self-esteem and became very self-conscious of myself.…
but I was still incredibly shy, solo and ground presentations or speeches at school gave me anxiety. I opted out of a lot of opportunities because of how shy I was and that was very hard to deal with now that I’m older and I now wish I could go back and attack those opportunities I missed out on. Present day I am still shy but not as bad as it was in middle school and before that, if anything I loved growing up shy even if I didn’t get to experience some things because I wouldn’t be who I am if I hadn’t grown up being so shy. It is a personality trait that I will cherish because even though it took some things away from me it gave me a lot more…
