When I was little, I was really confident in who I was. I was loud, I was kind of obnoxious, I loved bright colors, didn't care what I wore or what people thought of me, and was just a happy person (not all the time but most of the time).
I can remember the exact moment I stopped being confident in myself and started being insecure. I was excluded from regular activities, I was and felt like "the fat kid," I was told to be quiet on a regular basis, and I started needing to see a counselor. The fact that not everyone I meet is going to like me scares me. I want to be someone that nobody has a problem with, so I have a tendency to dial down my personality until I get really comfortable with a person or group of people. I also get incredibly embarrassed when I get a little too loud or look like an idiot (including when I don't get a job right or have a bad idea). So, how do I combat this?

Millennials* have been labeled as one of the most ambitious generations alive today. Among a myriad of terms given to them, "Job-Hopping" or "Delusional" are often negative terms thrown around by employers because we as a generation just won't sit still. Sure, it's not like we're perfect in every conceivable way, but wouldn't you rather be ambitious than complacent?
*Yes, I am considering myself a Millennial despite being born in 1997. I do not fit in with the technological advancements given to Gen Z because of the way I was raised, and am, therefore, putting myself into the Millennial category. |
