How did you increase your confidence

I’ve come to the realisation that the thing holding me back most in life is my self-doubt and lack of confidence. I don’t put myself in social situations and I’m scared to try a new career direction because I’m plagued with irrational feelings of unworthiness.

I know most people deal with this to some extent, does anyone have any tips for overcoming it?

Is It Normal?

  • You’ve got to get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself. Through that experience of self development you’ll see yourself expand and with that, your view on yourself, too.

    This really helped me, as someone with low self esteem. It might help you some, if it does, great, if not, disregard.

  • When I was younger id just do abunch of coke and drink alcohol all day. It would help alot. Still havent figured out how to do it without drugs. I just avoid the situations I hate.

  • Philosophy of sorts, I guess.

    I view myself as something different to all other people, for better or worse.
