Sometimes feel weak

When dealing with everyday situation, being out there in the world, I sometimes experince peoples vigour and toughness and feel depleted, anxious even.
How can I try to deal with this better?

try and take people that you aren't close too less seriously. some people say things and act in certain ways which seem agressive when they don't actually mean it :wink:

I supppose what I mean to ask is, am I underestimating my own strength and how much come across, does everyone have these feelings on occasion, or are my perceptions likely to be right?

Or, am I simply not competing hard enough?

Oh i don't mean people being nasty, I just mean peoples vigour, and strength, 'chutzpah' you could call it makes me feel outgunned sometimes

No, I understand what you mean. It's not a case of being inadequate, but merely not wanting to come across as strong as the others you see? I'm quite timid by nature, and dealing with it? Well embrace it :smile:
