Dear Teentalker,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns.
The concern you're sharing is indeed a very valid one, discovering yourself can not only feel like a big problem but a scary one too!
Sometimes, when you embark on a journey of self-discovery, the road ahead is likely to be full of questions, doubts, concerns, uncertainty and at times, even depression and anxiety. But then, looking inward and getting to know yourself is essential if you want to know who you truly are at the core and what is it that you're truly capable of achieving!
A lot of times, this confusion and feelings of negativity can come about based on the messages that one's family, people or society keeps giving you! A lot of them may intentionally or unintentionally try to bring you down and say mean things to you, which would make you doubt yourself and so you might come to wonder if some of the incredibly good things you figure about yourself are indeed real! But before you get there, it is important for you to discover what those good things about you are in the first place.
