All Table Games All Table Games All The Time

Open Question: I’m from india. My problem is, i’m not very assertive. how can i become more aggressive?

i’m 20 , 6′0 and around 170 pounds. I’m reasonably athletic, i played soccer and table tennis from middle school.but i’m thin. i always find that i’m paranoid about getting hurt physically or emotionally and i wonder if everyone i see can beat me up. pathetic, yes. i find that my performance in general drops when i’m with people younger than me or more talented than me because i’m afraid they’ll show me up and i’ll lose face horribly. i don’t know why it matters so much to me. i think it’s because i have reasons to believe every success of mine was under some very lucky conditions and hence i have very little faith in myself. recently i had some severe injuries to my neck and back and so i’m always worried about hurting myself because i’ve been told it’ll take a while to heal. i went for karate classes to gain some self confidence , but i rose through belts more because my sensei approved of my commitment rather than raw talent. i’ve never actually been in a fight my entire life and so i’m apprehensive about anything that tends to involve blows.never sparred in karate practice cuz there was no one else in my age group. i hate myself for this because my dad is so assertive and confident as are my friends and i’m , well, scared about everything. what is wrong with me? i never trust my successes, and my failures make me hate myself even more for being useless. around new people i usually remain very quiet becoz i’m afraid of
looking like a fool or getting beaten up.
how do i build confidence and a little aggression?
i have a month before university starts and i wish i wasn’t such a wimp. i really want to toughen up . how do i know everybody i see can’t beat me up? if i think they can i am very timid around them.

—-Disgusted and timid

PS. if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything, alright? please.
