    Confidence is one of the greatest character traits you can have, and no matter who you are; you should be confident. Everyone is amazing in their own way. Don't compare yourself to others, strive to be the best YOU that you can be. I love you all. Stay blessed fam.

    I'm always lacking in confidence when I find myself in new scenarios/settings but when I'm in my comfort zone around friends/family/sports I'm all good.

    I'm usually pretty confident and when I feel I'm not I typically put myself in situations that are sink or drown. I like to challenge myself with random public interactions here and there to work on confidence an,self esteem.it usually makes me feel better most of the time

    My self-esteem was always a struggle.

    Somehow though, after adjusting to college I was just like f--- it, I'm great. I'm intelligent and beautiful and a lot more. And honestly confidence makes it easier for me to better myself. I can accept myself how I am and still figure out what I want to do to be better.

    That's exactly the attitude you need to have. I'm a very confident individual, my parents instilled the importance of that in me at a young age. They always taught me to never be jealous of anyone, and never compare yourself to others. Those values have honestly allowed me to maintain my happiness throughout any obstacle or anything life throws at me. I don't go through life comparing myself to others. I know that I live my life with good morals, and I try to be the best me I can be. The key to happiness is being happy with yourself. You can't look around to others to make you feel better or more confident. Confidence comes within. Even though I am confident, I am always trying to grow as a person. I am always trying to better myself, I'm always setting goals for myself and striving for better. If more
    People had that mentality, hapiness wouldn't be so hard to come by. Real s---.

    Probably around average or so... I used to have pretty low confidence though.

    That's so awesome.

    I wish my parents were more like that. If anything, they really brought me down sometimes.

    I feel like as I grew up I really had to try to be different from them and develop my own set of values. But eventually, as I said, everything has worked out fine.

    It's definitely a continuous journey. There are still days where I have to catch myself and not let unreasonable negative thinking sink in. I honestly think that all the counseling I did when I was dealing with depression really helped me to change my mindset.

    But I understand how hard it is for people to be confident.

    meh, my confidence is ok, but definitely not as good as i want it to be. that said, it all depends on the scenario. for example, my confidence around girls is low, but most guys have that issue. but in other situations i have supreme confidence......so i guess it just depends on the scenario

    Everyone's confidence is low every once in awhile, but you have to believe in yourself

    Thank you OP I really needed that bro. I've been feelin down lately but you picked me up with your words. I've been clincally depressed and on meds for 3 years but I'm still here by the grace of God. Anyone reading this, you will face many trials and tribulations in life but it is how you overcome them that make you stronger. Things may seem difficult but find it in yourself to be confident and optimistic. With time things will get better. God bless yall

    Don't let no one say you ain't beautiful

    My level of self esteem/confidence has always varied wildly from moment to moment. Sometimes I'm extremely insecure, other times I simply don't give a f--- and I know I'm f---ing awesome.

    Man, I could I could write a book about how I've seen the levels of confidence change within me and throughout my life. But for the sake of the viewers and readers here on sxn80, i'll keep it short and sweet.

    I know what its like to have no confidence. Zero confidence. Period. I know what its like to have the highest level of confidence. When I joined the military 8 years ago, I promised myself no situation or person will ever strip me of my confidence again.

    Sometimes I reflect on the level of confidence I had back then to where I am at now at the age of 29. The difference is not even close. The maturation of my abilities and character has become so high level that it would be selfish of me to not share my methods with others. I am so confident in myself and who I am that it allows me to help others build their confidence to levels they never thought they could.

    Confidence mixed with humility has really made me feel really Godly nowadays. I haven't taken a L in the last 3 years:drakelaugh2:
