gain more confidence

I don’t mean to sound shallow, but it seems guys in Canada don’t know what they are talking about! Being in the DR I had so so so many guys tell me I was gorgeous and beautiful. Guys were coming on to me like black flies, and staring like there is no tomorrow. I do feel a lot better about myself, but I will always have those days. I am pleased to say that I have more confidence then I have in a long time.

Ever since I started dancing with a different company, I have lost all confidence in myself. This has been going on now for five months, and it has turned into an anxiety problem. I have always worried about how I look, how I act, who I hung out with in school and so on but now I can’t even get up and leave the house for work without becoming sick.

I’m going to try & be more confident about myself. I’ve had a big self esteem blow this year. Now it’s time to be positive. Things are looking u-p.

stop stage fright; made some cool mates and had a laugh doing it. worth dooing.

Ok, so I don’t ACTUALLY HATE myself anymore (that stuff is ugly), but there’s still some kind of battle going on inside my head. I am a jazz musician (in training) so my confidence problem is kind of centered around playing solos. I will go to play something, but then I’ll freeze up because something in my head is telling me that it’s just not going to be good enough. Oddly enough, I have an easier time with it when I’m on stage in front of other people than I do when I’m just by myself because I know I’m going to beat myself up for it later. It’s like I’m afraid of myself, not other people. I’ve tried to stop this, but it’s just not working. Anyone got any suggestions?

I can’t stand the fact that I can’t stand myself. I can’t even go outside in public without feeling extremely uncomfortable. I don’t want to talk to people because I’m afraid they’ll judge me or make fun of me. I’m so anti-social and don’t have any friends because I don’t want anybody to see me… I’m afraid that if I do make friends that I’ll end up lying to them just so that they’ll like me. I just don’t know how to change this. =/ I was homeschooled for over 7 years and never really had a lot of contact with people after that. I’ve even been having anxiety attacks lately… I feel like a complete freak. Ugh!!!

We all go through things in our lives that make us question ourselves, doubt ourselves and challenge us in various ways. Sometimes things seem so intimidating, and impossible to achieve and though our eyes they appear as unattainable dreams. Well you know what? It’s not true. Whatever you want out of life- it is achieveable!! It may be hard and it may have some speed bumps along the way but when you put your mind to something you’ve always wanted and work for it, it pays off so much and from this I’ve gained more confidence. So many hard obsticles of my life have molded me into making sure that I have the desire to succeed. Confidence comes in many forms, and for me it is a sense of accomplishment that makes me feel proud. I graduated college, I’ve changed my lifestyle, I’m more active, healthy, quit smoking and have just overall created this great change within myself. Everyone can do it, it’s just a matter now of moving away from the computer and making it happen! :p

The first step is to fake it. Then you will slowy gain REAL confidence, i will try this method. Having more confidence, in my opionin is having trust in yourself and doing whatever you want, never letting anything get in your way. Also standing up for your friends, yourself, family, and what you belivie in. Well this is what i hope to gain hope this works!!!

It will help me to pass my driving test which will in turn help me to secure my dream job.

I went through a really bad phase of self doubt. I know I’m capable of doing many things, I just worry about failing. And who doesn’t?

To me, confidence is knowing you’re doing your absolute best in the situation and not fearing the outcome. If I only worry about the outcome I’ll forget about HOW I achieved it.

I just need to keep things in perspective.
