[quote=Anonymous]I used to be one of those friends. I had a friend who is extremely confident so I would call her and ask her advice/vent/secure her approval. Thankfully, I stopped doing that by figuring out the root cause of my issues, which was very low self esteem and believing that because I had been given no "blueprint" to life (my parents were uneducated and unemployed and uninvolved, eg never asking even, "how was school today") that I didn't know anything and needed said friend's guidance. I developed confidence through competence, through recognizing that I had managed to develop a white collar career despite my background and married a high status man, also despite my background. I realized that I have good judgment and certainly don't need to ask friends for guidance on every little thing. I made sure though not to overcorrect, so I still talk to my friends about my life, but more for entertainment or if I need to bounce an idea off someone. [/quote]
