I Want More Self-confidence

I often feel envy towards those who exhibit carisma and confidence. These are qualities that could open so many doors for me in life just as it has to other people.

Society favors those who have enough self-confidence to step up and manifest what they desire and speak with certainty. But for people like me it is an upwards slope. I was not born into money nor am I as beautiful as a lot of women out there so I can't feel that confidence that I crave.

I hate myself for being so introverted and lacking in charisma and social skills.

@DaughterOfTheDust I am sorry you also have to go through it. :/

@Eithe aww thanks, no need to be sorry. I know I don’t have social skills and confidence and stuff but I make up for it in other ways. I make sure my work is always well done, I have a good attitude, and a good reputation. So, that’s how I get my opportunities when I can.

That's admirable! Do you also feel like you have to avoid social media like Facebook so that those "perfect" posts don't get to you?

@Eithe I deleted my social media years ago, mostly because I spent too much time trying to be the “perfect post” which was a complete failure lol.

@DaughterOfTheDust I completely understand. You see others post about their "perfect" lives and it kind of makes you feel like crap because you make yourself believe that your life cannot compare to that.

What was the last straw that made you realize that you needed to stop trying to be that "perfect post"?

Sorry for all the questions lol

@Eithe True! It’s no problem, I love questions 😇 I’ll pm you, it’s sort of a long story.

@DaughterOfTheDust Thank you! I appreciate it!😺
