be more confident

I feel I’m making progress on this goal. I made a list what I’ve done in 2007. Wow, I accomplished a lot of things! I know I can do it! I just don’t have enough confidence to say I’ve done this goal….:-(

My confidence is coming and going away like a big wave. It is really depends on the people around me that time. When I am with the person who is intelligent, calm or laidback, I can actually talk and express my opinions. But when I am with the outgoing, energetic person, I feel intimidated and can’t say anything. How can I break this habit?

Writing a note to ‘43 Things’ makes me somewhat confident.

I am confident, but my accent makes me shy. Majority of people understand my accent but sometimes, when people look at me expressing sympathy and says “Excuse me, what did you say?” I feel so embarrassed and want to hide behind the tree or something.

Simply, I need to make efforts to be more confident. I think it is very important to take care and feel good about myself, and then confidence will come naturally???
