This can be a tough one sometimes
3 years ago
You know, I really think I need to believe in myself a bit more than I currently do, a sort of “feel the fear and do it anyway” thing.
For example, I’ve just applied for a job that would involve a lot of face-to-face interaction with people at a fairly high level. I’ve lost count of the number of people who have told me I’d be great at this role over the years (even the current hiring manager!), yet for some reason I have a slightly hard time believing it myself. I guess for whatever reason I still see myself as a shy, introverted person, even though in reality I probably haven’t been that for a looong time—pretty weird hey?
Maybe it’s because I haven’t been stretching myself for a while now—the more you do it, the easier it becomes….
