My supervisor for my Master’s thesis keeps telling me I shouldn’t be so insecure all the time, there would be no need to. She asked me several times why I am like that and I just shrug it off and am like „idk, i’ve just always been like that“, „i am aware of it but can’t seem to change“, „being more confident is something i still have to learn“ but she won’t let it go. It’s weird, I can’t tell her that I‘m starting therapy again in September (which will help hopefully) and I also can’t tell her about my traumas? Like, I know she‘s just concerned and wants to help me navigate through a male-dominated work field but I feel a bit pressured to be more confident when it’s something I just can’t fake (I obviously fail at that). Any tips? 😩
