I was surprised and flattered when a fairly new friend told me that I'm calm. A lot of the time, I feel very shaky but I've learned to cover it up as I've got older. And I no longer let feeling wobbly stop me doing anything.

Is there a quality you work hard at projecting? Maybe (like, me, apparently), while you've been faking it, you've actually started to make it!!
Ask someone you know and trust how you come across in certain situations and you'll probably be happily surprised. Most of us judge ourselves far more harshly than we do strangers and friends.
Start seeing yourself through others' more gentle eyes more and it will become easier to grow into the kind of person you want to be.
