Low Self Esteem and Insecurity

Question

Asked for Female, 25 Years

I was once a bright student in school but gradually there has been a decline. Now I am 25 years but unemployed. I am insecure and anxious. I feel jealous of people doing well around me. I can't open up easily and over the period of time I have stopped working hard. I am an UPSC aspirant but currently I do not feel the motivation to work hard and achieve my goals. I feel lazy , unhappy and irritated all the time.
