Building Confidence

[Kenneth]

I suffer a little bit with a low self-esteem problem and I'm not quite sure how to fix it. It's not as easy as just saying, "I'm confident". What techniques can I use to build myself up so I don't feel like a failure sometimes? I don't think my case is extreme, but I know it is an issue.

It is hard to say without knowing more. However, I think understanding why you are not confident is the first step. Are you a perfectionist? Do you hold your expectations higher than they should be? Do you give up easily or anger easily? How patient are you?

I find that worry causes me to be less confident. It is when I start to worry that I begin to start second guessing myself. That leads to a lower confidence.
