What are some thoughts or ways to counter this?

If I'm ever on the smallest verge of confidence, which is REALLY rare, or feel 'Hey I got this. ' Or, if I even try to THINK about ways to feel confident, nevermind actually experience it..my mind will always override it with,
'Who do you think you are?? ' ( My mother used to yell that at me for years about Anything).
Or my mind will say, 'Goodness, love etc is not for you'.
Any ideas on ways to counter these negative thoughts?

You need a cheerleader in your life. Someone who will make you feel worthy. Who will motivate you and cause you to want to do better and be better. Everyone needs someone in their corner. We can be hard on ourselves but when other people see our potential we stop and take notice.

@AngelUnforgiven Your answer is incredibly true. It’s so important to bolster the confidence of those we love. If you care, you care enough to continuously reinforce what makes your partner special.
