Found the root of all my issues in therapy and still can’t figure out a way to get over this, except isolation. It’s very real. I’m a 37 year old man with a decent career. I don’t think I’ll ever be ok. Struggle with it internally and it causes failure in every relationship.

I suffer from all of these issues. But I had a good upbringing and I have a loving partner who treats me right. Where does my mental struggle come from then? Myself? I'm really confused and right now I've been going through shit trying to figure out why I always feel so closed in and so small. I'm 5'10 , 230lbs. I'm not a small person. But that's how I feel. I dont have the confidence i wish i had. I'm constantly apologizing and I always get emotional when I shouldnt. I've had ADHD for my whole life and I struggle with it so maybe that's where the anxiety comes from but I wish I just had something to point me in the right direction

EDIT: Wow this kinda took me by surprise. Thanks everyone for the responses! I'm at work right now so I can't respond to everyone just yet. But thank you all so much! It feels really good knowing that people are willing to reach out and help. You're all amazing.
