Anxiety is NOT a dirty word
I've battled with a lack of self confidence my whole life.

Until the day I said "My biggest problem is a lack of confidence" and someone replied "Are you sure? You seem awfully confident about that."
Suddenly my thoughts were flipped completely. Now, obviously, it wasn't quite as simple as that. Worrying is a learned behaviour and it will take a lot more than a single challenging conversation
