posture problem in stressful situations

[1lexis]

Since I was born I've had skin problems because of my eczema. When I was little, this difference wasn't too disturbing, I lived without thinking about it. My mother didn't want me to go out with my friends when I was little for fear I'd get beaten up or something would happen to me, so I stayed at home alone playing the console, reading comics or watching films, and because of that today I'm not at ease with people. When I went to college, people kept making remarks about my eczema, which destroyed my self-confidence. Today I no longer suffer from this skin problem but I still don't have any self-confidence, I'm not at ease with people. So much so that when I'm in an unpleasant situation I become as straight as an I. I don't know how to maintain a normal posture all the time. Thank you for your help

Learn to be ease with one to one and then more people. My brother is very social and will talk and talk but I have to think about or plan what I am going to say. You will be more relaxed if the person likes to speak and so chatty people are nice to befriend and you can learn how to converse with them. The more relaxed and at ease you are you can have posture that you can feel safe and comfortable I think.

Hi 1lexis, this is a very common problem in not having self confidence as well

as self esteem. Unfortunately, posture is a critical part of our anatomy in showing

ourselves and the world what we are worth. The person who feels lost and afraid

portrays it by rounding their shoulders, putting their head down and walking with

a defeated stance.

Time for some "boot camp". A retraining of your worth. Have you ever seen the

cadets training for boot camp both before and after. A complete change from a

negative position to a more positive one. Afterall, people do trust others who are

confident in themselves as well as caring of others struggling. One step at a time.

I'm glad you are with us as you learn you are not alone in feeling this way.

Work on Relaxation and the posture will change shortly. You've got this xx
