Hi Worry Girl!
Tabitha is right - a therapy group could really help. These people have problems - just like you - and probably have gone through the same things.
Getting involved in a group relating to something you are really interested in (art, a book club, running, poetry reading at a cafe, volunteer work...)that involves others can help. If you have a busy life and interests, I know that peole tend to gravitate toward you. You end up giving out more independent and confident signals that people really respond to.
You'll hit your stride; I really think it's confidence and an interest in things outside yourself. I know that I can get very self absorbed, being someone with depression and anxiety.
Good luck!
Sarah
