It affects my personal life and my career in some truly undesirable ways. This self-doubt has prevented me from forming close relationships, exploring new ways to earn money. But perhaps worst of all, it focuses my attention to my shortcomings as opposed to my assets.
How will I know that I have stopped doubting myself? This is a tough question. I would appreciate advice from anybody who has succeeded in this goal!

I doubt myself all the time-its full time pre-occupation of mine.e.g.- the ability to handle being the replacement class tomorrow, or even m ability to keep a marriage going.N wonder I never feel happy.Gotta stop this.

But yes, that really doesn’t mean I should be doing it. It’s humanity’s downfall and the result of every ill feeling in this world.

“I can’t.”
Now I have a lot of confidence in myself, just not in my abilities. I’m always telling myself “I can’t do this or that,” because what I can do is all too often not recognised or praised or anything. That seems to have a big effect on me. :[

I am just as interesting as everyone els
not everyone has it in for me (I guess it would seem rather vain in thinking that they do!)
I am not abnormal
I try to be nice and others see that
Smile and Be Happy :)

I know I can accomplish what I want to in life. I just have to give myself time.

i guess it is because i am so self-aware; i know my weaknesses so well, that i avoid things that trigger them. i am VERY good at justification. i hope that simply by writing this down where people can see it, i will embarrass myself out of stopping myself. i know i have the skills, i know i have the spark. i guess i just have too much of the wisdom and have lost too much of the innocence/ignorance…. blind faith isn’t doing it for me lately. i see things coming down the road and i predict the outcome before i even take the first step. well, i really need to stop that.

I believe that ultimately, I can accomplish the things I want to. I do have doubts about whether I’ll be able to do certain things right now. In general I think it’s that I worry about other people judging me and my capabilities. Once I feel as though they are doubting me, I start to feel defensive but ultimately, doubt myself as well.
Maybe this goal goes hand in hand with stop worrying about what other people are thinking.

i do have moments where i don’t doubt myself, but they’re temporary. the next day i just go back to my negative view of myself.
