is it possible to get socially confident in your 40s

[c=003BB2][i]if you have never had self confidence before? because you were quiet, reserved and shy and have social anxiety?

this is me, i desperately want social confidence, and to be assertive, self confident and self assured.

but i had long term mental health problems and i just never had the self confidence i wanted to have, plus i met low life scum who undermined what bit of self confidence i had.....now i'm in my mid 40s.


i had a good upbringing and wasn't used to dealing with ruffians and bullies.
