Introduction
The first step in building your self-confidence is to recognise why you don’t have it in the first place. If we don’t feel good about ourselves, it’s because there’s a reason for that. It could be because of past experiences in childhood or adolescence when we were bullied or shamed by others or even by our own parents; it could be due to our inability to express ourselves fully and thus feel powerless; or it may be due to low self-esteem stemming from not being acknowledged with love and attention as children. Whatever the reason, low esteem cannot be fixed overnight but can only be addressed over time if one learns how to change their thinking patterns that contribute towards this negativity about oneself.”

“There are a plethora of reasons why we feel less confident and lose our self-confidence. We are brought up in a culture that celebrates the false self and not the true, authentic self – our essence. The notion of beauty is distorted to such an extent that we often lose ourselves in an endless pursuit for perfection.”

We should strive to be proud of who we are, regardless of society’s standards or expectations. When you’re comfortable with yourself, you will be able to take on new challenges with confidence rather than fear or anxiety.

“Many of us have had difficult childhoods, where parents respond to the child’s need for love and attention by making them feel guilty or burdened. Others have been raised in families where people are held in positions of power by bullying or browbeating.”
No one has a perfect childhood. From the time we’re born, our parents are human and make mistakes. They can be abusive, neglectful, narcissistic or perfectionists who bully their children into feeling less confident than they should.
It’s easy to feel less confident when you look at the achievements of others and compare yourself unfavorably with them; but there are reasons why people achieve more than you do – some of which are beyond your control.
“As children, many of us were told what we couldn’t do more than what we could do. We may have been shamed, belittled, criticised or verbally abused. Some of us have been bullied by our peers, on social media or at work.”

If you’ve experienced any of this as a child it’s likely that your self esteem was damaged – maybe permanently. As adults we try to deal with our low self-esteem but often find ourselves feeling inadequate and inferior because we haven’t learned how to feel good about ourselves from personal experience rather than societal conditioning.

“When our parents don’t teach us how to love and validate ourselves, we look outside. We seek validation from those around us. We do things to please people because we feel so desperate for their approval.”
When our parents don’t teach us how to love and validate ourselves, we look outside. We seek validation from those around us. We do things to please people because we feel so desperate for their approval.
This is why it’s important to teach your children how to love themselves—and why it’s also important for you as a parent to learn how to love yourself! The more you can help your children learn about love and self-acceptance, the more confidence they will have later in life.
“These painful experiences take their toll on our self-confidence as adults. As a result, we resist feeling our feelings; including anger and hurt because they remind us of being powerless as children.”
As adults, we are conditioned to avoid feeling our feelings because they remind us of being powerless as children. We do this by getting angry instead of hurt or ashamed instead of guilty or fearful instead of anxious.
When we’re angry, we can easily put up a fight and win in the moment—or at least convince ourselves that we won. However, when you’re hurt or ashamed or guilty or fearful (and if you feel any combination of these emotions together), all bets are off! You’ll end up stuck in a vicious cycle where your fear gets worse each time you try to escape it.

Low esteem is largely learnt behaviour but with awareness you can change these patterns
A huge part of gaining confidence is being able to accept yourself for who you are, for your flaws and strengths. This is a huge one for me; I have always been super hard on myself. But it’s not healthy to judge yourself all the time, it’s just going to make you feel worse about yourself! You need to learn how to love yourself and accept who you are as well as your shortcomings. It sounds corny but if I can do it, anyone can!
The next step is learning how to trust yourself when making decisions or taking action in life decisions that involve other people. This comes from building up your self esteem so that when someone says something negative about what they think of something or someone (in my case myself) instead of getting upset/angry with them because they don’t agree with what decision was made–I would say “thankyou!” because now I know why someone would see things differently than me and understand their point of view better without automatically assuming they’re wrong without knowing full details yet… which helps prevent any arguments later on down
road hahahaha!

So, if you are feeling less confident, remember that it is nothing to be ashamed about. You are not alone and there are many people who have been through similar experiences. The important thing is to be aware of the ways in which low esteem manifests itself in your life so that you can work on improving it. One good way to start would be by exploring some of the issues mentioned above as well as seeking professional help if needed!
