What’s the point of having it if you don’t believe it yourself or it isn’t true.Feel like I’m just lying to myself just to feel better but it make me feel worse

If you don’t believe in yourself then you don’t have confidence. Stop lying on yourself and work on yourself op.

Tbh I thought confidence was just telling yourself good things

It’s f***ing with my social life because I haven’t seen anybody in about a year and a half

Even simple s*** like texting it’s probably goes deep than low confidence but I’m starting to notice the s***

Just be confident lol

Confidence is a meme

Nah that’s just sugarcoating s***. You gotta love yourself and put yourself first before anything else. You’ll never be confident if you just want confidence to look like your confident. You gotta actually know yourself and love that s***. Be your own priority

Confidence is the consequence of being happy about your self. You don't be confident and then feel good about yourself, you accept yourself for who you are, where you are, and with self-compassion you take steps to address your insecurities. The confidence builds from there.

It’s gonna be process that’s for sure

Its all about the confidence of expressing your insecurities and vulnerabilities

You give off heavy basement dweller vibes so of course you think it's some meme

Wouldn’t that make it easier for you to get taken advantage of?

Lol how?

Right on bro, Confidence is coming terms with yourself and carrying on despite the obstacles you face in life

only you decide if you get taken advantage of

I know what you're saying and it's true, people with low confidence and are insecure get prey'd on but keep that in mind when interacting with someone who's intentions you can tell aren't pure

becoming comfortable with yourself is step one so that poster is correct and just be up front about who you are at first. getting that off your chest will be a good first step

there's a formula that works 100% for confidence, and that's getting more skill in something raises your confidence in that thing. you have to work to get to where you want to go but if you do you'll have actual confidence. if you're bad at texting force yourself to text people everyday.

right now it seems like you're just lying to yourself which is going to make you feel worse about yourself when you rest your head at night

whoever you are and whatever you did you're good enough, beautiful and have a lot ahead of you but you have to start working at it

Well first off, what is it that you’re trying to project confidence for?

Women? Friends? Job interviews?

All of them.I’m not confident in my looks,the way I talk,skillset etc s*** just leaves me stagnated

Thats a good start for sure , just do the opposite of things that make you unconfident. Manifestation my brother, its real

Or sister

Least favorite word in the world

Sounds like you’re not happy or satisfied with yourself so in turn you don’t believe you’re good enough in life.

When you say you lack confidence in your looks, skill set, talking to girls what you’re really saying is that you are self conscious in how people view you within those parameters you mentioned.

You need to stop seeking validation from the outside in. You will never be happy comparing yourself to others or seeking validation from other people. Because people who are confident love themselves and are satisfied with who they are in spite of what the outside world thinks. You will never satisfy every person you come across, every supervisor, every girl, it’s impossible. Satisfy yourself, be the best version of yourself and everything else will fall into place.
