Confidence

[ComradeSch]

Some people are really confident in what they do, and some not so much. For example, I tend to say, "If you're not competent, be confident". However, a friend of mine... http://fav.me/d7aqegu

Are you naturally confident? Or are you more on the meek side?

 

[Lauren]

I have no confidence at all, so much so I will make fun of myself to hide that fact.

 

[chillv]

I've probably said this a million times but bad experiences on the internet caused me to become meek, and not in a good way. I'm meek out of fear.

 

[Neriifur]

Depends.
Im good looking, have a nice body, can draw well. There's my confidence.
I try my best at certain games and feel like a ****ing fail, and I don't believe people enjoy my company a lot.
There's my lack of confidence.

People and media over the years has made me loose all my confidence about the way I look.

 

[sn0wxyuki]

I am afraid of everything I do. I am always afraid if I am doing it right or wrong, I am afraid what if I am not capable to do it? But things always turn out different. In fact, I am good, I can do it much better than I expect. Just I am not confident enough towards myself, even now.

^ agree.

No confidence to be had here. Probably because of my depression, self hate and the way people treat and disrespect me.

When I first started high school I had no confidence. Making friends was by mistake and I hated class presentations, but now I've regained it again ~ sometimes I might be... Ummm... Too confident >.>

I'm not COMPLETELY confident always though.

 

[Fearthecuteness]

So am I. I'm always worried that people are talking negative things about me, especially the embarrassing things I've done. But that's probably just due to the fact I've had a lot of people be nice to my face then talk about me behind my back. It makes me feel like whatever I do I'm going to do it wrong or embarrass myself.

Just have the confidence to say no and not to feedtrain with your team

I've lacked in confidence before, but then I realised the only person I should be trying to make happy is me.

This. Oh my ****ing god this. It is frustrating to be around people who will tear your every action apart. It doesn't matter if their friend has done/said the same thing with it being accepted.

Yep. It's horrible because it makes you feel ashamed about the smallest things you have done and it just plays over and over in your head. I always feel nervous meeting up with someone because I'm worried something like that is going to happen.

I think that was around the age I was hating my self. That I blame on people.

Yes that would be my age :u And unfortunately it's not that easy to change

 

[Gizmodo]

I'm competent, and get called very intelligent
but i have no confidence and i hate myself, but thats largely due to other issues like my "illness" which has made me very anxious omg

 

[dizzy bone]

I used to be really unconfident in high school. I'm still a little unconfident in social situations and I can't talk to new people without freaking out a little inside, but about my work/art I am proud and confident about since I had to learn how to speak up in critiques and defend my work. I think my shyness crippled me a lot in the beginning of college and I didn't make a lot of friends + I was depressed and homesick most of the time... but I learned to overcome it and I have a few good friends that I love and am completely happy with.

 

[Colour Bandit]

I am definitely a person who lacks in confidence, mainly due to my Anxiety and Panic disorders. I have gotten better but I still struggle daily and other people have made it worse in the past- namely those teachers or 'friends' who have forced me to do things I clearly feel uncomfortable doing which has then made me even more nervous... Also growing up with an over-confident, loud, motor mouthed and arrogant younger brother has stunted my self esteem by making me feel generally worthless.

If it weren't for my boyfriend being more gentle with encouraging me to do new things I would be a lot worse, having someone that loves and cares about me is a good confidence boost...
