Do you believe in yourself?

I don’t believe in myself. These words are the most honest words I could say. Why can’t I? Because my brain says I’m not good enough. Every time I see someone else doing what I love. What makes me special? My answer, nothing. The next most vulnerable words I could say is I’m scared, absolutely petrified living this life.

I wish I had someone in my life who loved me so much that I could just fall to pieces in front of them. Be completely raw and honest about how I’m feeling.

I have learned many things in my life and one thing I know for sure.... The things that you do in life....whether its a hobby, a job....a special gift or talent you have...do it for your enjoyment. It doesn't matter if someone is better at it then you...cuz there are others that aren't as good as you. We each bring something special and unique to everything.you have gifts and talents and abilities that nobody else can do exactly the same way. Some things we will succeed at...others not so much...big deal!! You Re special because its YOU doing it. Life can get scary....but living in fear is even scarier. Explore. Be happy. Step outta the boat. Believe in yourself! Do you!!!

Your thoughts are deceiving you. You have a viewpoint that is unique and valuable; you have talents that others don’t and you have opportunities. Everyone is able to contribute. I hope you discover that soon and I hope you find the someone who will encourage you.

I do believe in myself because I have found that the best person to have as a cheerleader is yourself. I am not good at everything but I do not focus on the outcome, I focus on the process. I reward myself with positive thoughts for trying new things and putting forth big efforts. If I fail, so be it. If you can switch your mindset to one of process and not outcome, it will be much easier. I guarantee that you are someone with great qualities. If you ever need a sounding board, feel free to message me.

You must have had a traumatic childhood. The best way to start believing in yourself is to keep your word to yourself, and set some small goals, and accomplish them. The more you accomplish, and the more you keep your word to yourself, as in do what you say you’ll do, and become a person you can admire, then your self esteem will start to change. It takes time and work. Start with small steps.

I used to think that way before I came across an interview of Robert Downey Jr where he was asked how he turned his life around when he was considered hopeless and he said that if you can’t be own your own side how can you expect it from another person? So stay strong 🔥

I think we all wish we had someone to pour our hearts out to, I know I do. You are certainly not alone in feeling this but don’t give up. Things can get better as well as worse. Keep an open mind, believe in yourself and you never know 🤗🤗

Why would I? My father ground my zelda confidence into the dirt-along with my self esteem-evey day of my life.
Yes I do
self confidence grows over time
you build yourself up as you go

Sometimes I do, but I also know I'm far from perfect

What makes the other people special? Nothing. They're no better than you.

@uncalled4 That's a great view. I think for me anyway, others are more valuable or special because they're not afraid of so many things that is holding them back. Well most people. But maybe I should stop thinking of my value in what only I DO..BUT Who I Am. Thanks for those words to the OP☘️

You are normal. Just think logically. In a world of over 7 billion people, do you really think that you are so much worst than most of them? That's very unlikely. The majority of what you are feeling is self imposed from your own thoughts.
