As you mentioned the lack of confrontation can be found within yourself. Taking a deep look inside of you. I would suggest a small action that will greatly change the outcome and your way of thinking. Begin by changing your username from broken man to something such as healed man or survivor, etc. That way you will begin to jump start your subconscious mind after repeatedly seeing it and having others address you as that improved username.
All the best to you healed man.
Thank you and take care
