I would like to stop second-guessing myself when it comes to my skills. I’d like to stop asking for confirmation on my skill and believe in its validity.
People doing this are also doing these things:

I get down on myself, and then I don’t do as good as I know I’m capable of.
-Basketball(And…every other sport) – I don’t have the confidence I should to be a “team leader” that I know I’m supposed to be. I’d like to think my coach has confidence in me, but it’s really the confidence in myself that screws me over. I think if I just believed in skills I have, I’d be a lot better. ..When I get caught up in the game, or when I’m just screwing around for fun, that’s when it really shows. I’m too judgemental of myself.
- School – I could be doing a lot better then im doing – but I’m not, all because I feel I’m stupid, and can’t do this and that, and it’s just brutal really.
I gotta stop this way of thinking!! I think I know what I’m capable of, and then when I fall just a little bit short, that’s when I get discouraged and think that I have zero abilities at all.
