doubt myself less

never!

in self-assurance lately. I started my own design business, and all signs point to success for now. It really confirms that when I put my mind to something and trust in myself, I can accomplish a lot of things.
Now to apply this to relationships….

I feel sure about living on my own and being independent. I’ve had very little fear or doubt that I’ll make it. I’m also feeling good about making new friends in this city. If I keep this positive attitude, then maybe things really will go well for me.

as I’ve had a company with some prestige show genuine interest in hiring me. That makes me feel a lot less delusional in calling myself a “designer”.

and did my best to project confidence when they flipped through my portfolio. I always feel horrible when people look at my work & assume they’ll think it looks amateur or something.
I have 0 confidence in myself and I need to give myself more credit. It helps when other people believe in you & sometimes I feel like no one does…

when nothing goes right even when you try very hard…

of not giving myself much credit. I tend to be very critical of myself, to the point of discouraging myself from progressing as a person. I have too many voices in my head saying things like, “You’re not good enough. You’ll never be able to accomplish what you want.” I doubt my ability to do the things I want to do.
Sometimes I feel like I am smart enough to see what is wrong with myself or what I do, but not smart enough to do better….
However, when I turn these kinds of thoughts off & dive into whatever it is I want to do, then I usually can do it. Oh I’ll still critique it terribly, but at least it will be done & I’ll be somewhat less frustrated.
