Feeling self conscious in my 20s
I'm in my 20s and ever since I was a kid I've always been shy and quiet. I've been to uni and volunteered in many activities just so I can be more loud.
Bullying and a recent family loss are the reason why I'm like this. I don't hold anything against extroverted people.
At work, bosses are happy with the work I do. However they don't understand and don't like my quiet personality. They've discussed this to me in meetings and I could lose my job because of this.
I work in an egoistic environment, where everyone is very chatty and bubbly, no one on my team is quiet apart from me.
This is the first time in my 20s that I've felt so self conscious.
I've accepted who I am and I really can't change my personality to suit others. I'm trying other ways where I can be more confident. I find faking it very exhausting as I'm also an introvert.
I feel like a weirdo in my company and just generally
Any advice?
