Confidence.

How you do one thing is how you do everything.

You should be confident, not arrogant, but you should have a clear vision and unwavering determination when taking any action.

Nowadays, many people lack self-confidence, especially young men. And you may have encountered someone who said to you that to build confidence you should look yourself in the mirror and shout positive affirmations.

Fake it until you make it, they say.

But that is not going to fix anything, you may be confident for a short period of time, but that positive affirmations won’t last because they aren’t true.

To build self-confidence you should try to amount evidence about how good you are. Experience builds self-confidence.

Confidence depends on context, you could be confident in one area and insecure on another, and this insecurity is due to a lack of experience.

By trying again and again you end up building confidence in yourself and in your abilities.

For example, when I was a teenager I would have tremendous social anxiety because of my lack of confidence. Every time I spoke with someone I would constantly track my words and try so hard to not sound cringe, or to make the other person dislike me.

With time and by engaging in conversations daily I could finally build confidence when approaching to others, to the point that I now make friends everywhere I go and I am not afraid of speaking to someone I don’t know.

Confidence is necessary and it is all about gaining trust in yourself by experiencing the same event over and over again.
