They thing they are better than me. What should I change about myself. What is causing me to feel so low? My self confidence isn't so high, but im trying. It seems as though I cant escape being the one who doesn't get taken serious. Why is that? Should I just shut my mouth? I mean I talk about how i feel and whats going on. Should I just shut people out and not tell them things about myself? I just dont know where to start. Im tired of getting pushed aside. I can box, i can defend myself, but no one takes me serious. I just want some repsect, im tired of geting steped on, What should I do?!!??????????? Please help.

Confidence like anything else, takes training and practice and changing the image you have of yourself, which in turns changes how others see you as well. Read some books on building confidence and see if you can learn the particular traits that confidence people have or at least know how to play to their advantage. I suspect your friends see you as a "man-boy" which means not a man. You don't have to be an ass to be taken seriously so don't confuse rude behavior with assertivness. Good luck.
