    Some of us have more than others, but what about you? How much faith do you have in your ability to do things? Do you feel as if you can do many things and go far in life or do you completely lack self confidence? How does your abundance or lack of self confidence affect you each day?
     
    Ah, I used to suffer badly with no confidence but I sought out role models who made me feel more confident. And I suppose I used that to propel myself in to how I am today. That being however, dependent on the day. Sometimes I wake up and know that I'm having a low confidence day.
     
    I have very low confindence in my self. so no. I have low faith in what I do. but it doesnt affect me that much to be honest. I just do what I can lol and besides I am almost always on the computer anyway .
     
    I love myself to the extent that i miss myself while i'm sleeping!! hahaha xD

    i do mistakes just like anyone else but i learn from them and know i can fix em too..if i can't then i admit i'm fail and ask for help,i have my broken times but to the further limits i do trust myself a lot...like a Phoenix born from it's ashes!!

    how i LOVE phoenix and admire it :3 <33333
     
    I'm kind of in the middle. I'm usually a cautious person, but when I believe in myself too much get cocky I usually get brought down to the Earth.

    It also depends on the subject, if it's something like mathematics and computer science, I'd be more confident in myself than learning chemistry.
     
    I used to have no confidence at all. I lost a lot of weight and slowly it began to grow. I believe I can do whatever I put my mind to now!
    However, approaching people and making friends still proves to be difficult. I like the challenge though, despite the fact I keep failing (I just can't seem to get along with anyone).
    I know I'll be successful, persistence and patience is key! ;)
     
    Growing up, I had practically no self-confidence. I was insecure and would have no faith in any of my skills, and hated being me. I hated all my weaknesses and saw very little worth in me.

    Now, I love being me. I'm more of a jack-of-all-trades kind of guy, so I have a lot of confidence in what I do. Unless it's my first time, then not so much. I would like to think that I'm not arrogant, but sometimes I think I come off as that. Don't worry, the world is there to smack me down when that happens. I look good and feel good. How much more do you need? :P
     
    I feel I can do anything. Keep trying thing isn't a bad thing at all.
    Although with that confidence, every time you fail, there's a good chance to achieve your success through failure. Yes, I believe in my ability, and so as to myself.
     
    Depends on the day these days but growing up I had little to no self-confidence. People had the tendency to bring me down to earth even before I tried to stand up, if that makes sense.

    I'm kind of in the middle now. Growing up and going through a lot can help build your self-confidence when you realize how much you have withstood on your own. With that said, sometimes I struggle in approaching people.

    This is basically the exact same thing in my case. I never really had confidence in myself throughout high school and my early years of college because I let everything get me down. If one thing didn't go right or if I made a mistake, I would always blame myself for it and in turn this really put a damper on what little self confidence I did have. Now however, I am much more confident in myself. I look at the positives in my life and let that affect how I approach things each and every day. Simply put, I just learned that despite all of the mistakes that I have made and the ones that I will make in the future, I have no reason not to be confident in my abilities.
     
    I'm a pretty confident guy in most ways yeah, but I don't like to get too ahead of myself. It's not that I don't think I'm able to achieve things in life, but I just don't choose to think about them; I feel like setting a goal for myself where I 'have' to or 'should' achieve some undefined thing could just end up in me working towards something very vague or something that I don't even want, and I'm not best interested in that. Ramble aside though - yeah, I certainly have the confidence - both socially and in my skills - that I think I'd need to get places. Indeed, I'm kinda at the point now where if I don't feel I have the confidence to do something then I probably shouldn't be trying to do it. It makes quite a good reality check in that way.

    I feel like maybe some people might find me either cocky or overbearing sometimes, though. I guess - especially when it comes to social confidence - seeing someone who feels like they can do anything might be a bit disconcerting. I swear I'm not as bad offline as I probably sound right now though, haha.

    I'd say to anyone that has trouble with confidence that the only way (which I've found, anyway) to boost that is to just get out there and... well, do things. It's almost impossible to genuinely believe that you can do something without the proof that you're able to do them; doing things and telling yourself that you can do them works far better than just waiting and hoping you'll eventually gain confidence or that someone else will help you gain it. Since honestly, that doesn't really happen. d:

    ...are you in the right thread? @_@
     
    I'd say I'm reasonably confident; I don't lack it in any way, except for really trivial things, but I'm by no means cocky or narcissistic.
     
    No, I was not in the right thread. That'd be a combination of having too many pages open and lack of sleep. I'm surprised that nobody deleted it last night or today.

    Anyway. I generally am not a very confident person at all. I tend assume that I'm going to fail (and sometimes it seems that I do fail because of it). That doesn't necessarily stop me from trying, though. I'm stubborn and potentially will keep trying until I succeed, but only if I actually care. (Depending on what it is, sometimes I believe strongly enough that I'm going to fail regardless, so I don't bother to really try.)
     
    I'd say I have an adequate amount of self-confidence. And by that I mean I'm an arrogant bastard who takes on things that he probably can't do, and refuses to accept defeat.
     
    I don't believe in self confidence; I believe in something that's more powerful than self confidence that will help me with my problems without having to put any effort and still have my low "confidence" intact, but I don't know if it even exists.
     
    I lacked it when I was younger, but I'm confident hehehehe in saying that now, I have great self confidence. I don't know where it's coming from, but I just feel like the world's mind to take.

    Will admit, though, I can sometimes toe that line of confident to cocky.
     
    I've always had a problem with self-confidence. I really don't have much. It's something I really struggle with a lot tbh, but im working on it.
