A few years ago I used to be aggressive, egotistical and brutally honest with people. No particular event that I can recall humbled me or humiliated me or anything like that. How come now after all this time, I have this awful fear of standing up for myself or being different? When it comes to anything at all, at work, amongst my friends, around my girlfriend, just in every day life. I've become so concerned about what other people think of me, and whenever something bothers me no matter what it is, in any situation or with any circumstances, I just cannot speak up for myself or say what I'm really feeling. I feel that if I say how something or somebody really makes me feel, they will get mad and walk out of my life, and I decide that I'd rather just let them win to avoid that possibility no matter how Irrational it seems. What's happened to me? I don't wanna become a pushover anymore. Any ideas?

You have to build your confidence without regressing to your former self. Find someone you can trust and talk to them about it
