Confidence and self-esteem
Growing up, did you have that feeling of being invisible? Middle children who have that feeling of being 'un-seen' often deal with loneliness and can struggle with lower confidence and self-esteem.
Spending time chatting with those whose company you enjoy can be confidence-boosting.
Being with people we care about helps us to see ourselves as having a place in the world. We also benefit from having an outside perspective on ourselves.
The feedback we get from those we like boosts confidence and self-esteem.
Increased quality of life needed?
Are you an overachiever? Have you missed important events, ruined relationships because you put your job first? Are you enjoying your life? How is your health? Are you exhausted all the time?
