Finding my purpose in life

[Zara18]

Hi everyone well I am new here and lately I have been feeling a bit down because I reach the age where people is doing so much with their life and I'm just here. I struggle with trying to please people and I get so caught up in trying to please them that I forget about my own self and what I want in my life and to be honest i guess i use it to distract myself. My whole life I have been doing what everyone told me to do and I haven't done anything that will make me happy. I'm just so afraid to come out my shell because I'm afraid what people will think of me and I'm also a shy person. I lose on a lot of opportunities because of my anxiety and shyness and its hard to over come those things because that's how I am. I hope there Is someone out there that understands and can help me. What are some things that you do to make you feel more confident about yourself. And how do you know what I'd your purpose?

Hi Zara, i've wrestled with the question about purpose for sometime and have come to the conclusion that for me, my "purpose" is to learn to love, nurture and accept myself fully on this earth first and thereby be able to love others unconditionally and be a better human. It took having a wonderful dog to teach me and help me feel unconditional love. I think it's easy for us to get caught up in the idea of "purpose" and make it much more complicated than it is or about something external or grandiose for our ego's sake but for me at least, that's not what it's about.
