Confidence refers to the feelings of competence and trust in your skills and abilities, whether in general or in situation-specific circumstances. If you have high self-confidence, you may feel like you can direct and control outcomes in your life journey.
Having Low Self-Confidence
If you have low self-confidence, you may feel like you’re not in control, and there is nothing you can do to improve your life. You might believe that you’re destined for failure, especially when you are presented with an opportunity for better opportunities.
Some people lose their confidence after unpleasant experiences such as trauma, bullying, humiliation, or harassment. Others may have low self-confidence due to societal expectations or gender-specific discrimination that has conditioned them to certain ways.
Others are exposed to a constant stream of picture-perfect lives on social media and other media sources. Similarly, bosses, teachers, friends can also highlight perceived weaknesses, which can further undermine an individual’s self-confidence, Once we know which factors have contributed to our feelings of low self-confidence, we can start to evaluate our true strengths and evaluate techniques for validating our competence, confidence and self worth, We can change our thoughts, and own our qualities.
Having low self-confidence is frustrating, nobody enjoys second-guessing their every move, let alone keeping a tab on their weaknesses and past failures. Not only can low self-confidence limit your options, but it can also hinder your progress toward your goals, happiness and success. It can create false boundaries and prevent you from taking steps to change the course of your life. In the end, your reluctance can turn into missed opportunities, which in turn may lead to dissatisfaction and a general sense of un-fulfillment.
It doesn’t have to be this way. You don’t have to feel limited in what you do, where you live, or who you can become. Gaining and recognizing your confidence is an essential element in moving forward in life
Bolster Your Confidence
Just like the negative experiences and influences in our lives can lower our confidence, there are also positive experiences and influences that can do the opposite. These positive experiences should be part of our toolkit to gradually recognize our gifts and gain more confidence.
Once we feel more confident, we can explore avenues that used to scare us. Once we reach a certain level of confidence, nothing can stop us from making more positive steps forward.
