Honestly it seems like you believe that you should act confident because other people have set the expectation/intention for you to be confident.
You asked how to be confident. Don't worry about the how for the time being, get clear on the what. What exactly is confidence to you? The clearer you get on that the easier it is to see what areas of confidence you'd like to develop. |
Thanks for all your comments, which I find very thought provoking. It is true that I am judging myself and I always get the feeling that this judgment is coming from other people.
It made me realize that I actually never thought about what confidence was, and what it means to me. I have experienced it on occasion, and it was such a bliss that I only remembered it as a happy moment, but never really thought about what was going on in moments of confidence.

Yes! Sometimes I beat myself up because I didn't achieve complete mastery of a very competitive and precise art, and I forgot it takes a lot of time and practice to achieve what I want to reach!
