It's called 'Bad Faith' according to Sartre, and is likely a futile exercise bound for a desperate realisation. It's usually best to address the issue directly, accepting that which you are attempting to circumvent. Thereafter, you can adapt your mindset to benefit most from the least preferred potential outcome, or go further by amending the constraints of the situation. For example, if you're trying to convince yourself that you are confident, it's probably best in the long run to realise your options are either to accept that you are a retiring type of personality and plan your goals accordingly, i.e. no jobs in PR, or to go some way toward amending the situation by, for example, taking up assertiveness classes.
In either situation a certain amount of acceptance is required before any real progress can be achieved. In order to arrive at this acceptance, Bad Faith must be abandoned.
