I was hit and shouted at in my childhood. As an adult I'm sure that it's affected my confidence. It's hard to do things I want to achieve and so on because I get anxious about it all. 

**I'm very apologetic all the time**. I believe it's actually a coping mechanism to any adversity that I face. 

**I think I was beaten into a coward**. 

Can anybody else relate?

**Is there a way to cure this**?

Thank you
