There will always be self doubt. It's merely evaluating the possibility that you could fail, which is almost always possible.

The key for me, is to keep trucking forward. Just straight up plow through it. I now view discomfort and failure as an opportunity for personal growth. Learn from it and move forward. Failure does not necessarily mean your journey is over.

Get some self-confidence? You aren't giving us much to work with here.

 

[JustMe]

You too?
GTFO of my head:tongue:

The most efficient way to remove self-doubt is to stop doubting yourself so much.
Faith and trust, *****.

I think you are right on the mark to view discomfort as an invitation for growth.
And actually, we can erase the concept of "failure" completely if we want to.

Failures does not exist for me anymore. All that happens was supposed to happen.
Question is, what do I do with the feedback?

 

[ouchies]

Yeah, I believe we're on the same page. I guess in other words, the key is to redefine the word failure.

Just do whatever you want to do. Everytime you fail, you add experiences to you persona that will make you stronger. Speculating all possible things that could go wrong is a pit I've fallen into many times, but that is all it is. Speculation. It will not give you experience, which means it will not make you grow. That doesn't mean you should be reckless, but just doing it can be a great benefit in the future.

Any tips?

Embrace it, do not fear it or let prevent it prevent you act.
Only ignorants act without any doubt.

 

[Grandmaster Yoda]

It's a good thing, why else would they write it in the sugarcoated descriptions?

 

[Strelok]

Confidence.

Practice confidence.

But how do you do that?

 

[Rethink]

But how do you do that?

Well I think lack of confidence in a area relate to feeling weak in that area.
Speaking bodily/emotionally/intellectually, countering friction builds strength, and this converts into power and control.
Building on all three convert into self-strength, self-power, self-control.

If I want to grow I accept challenges that are one or more steps more "difficult" than the challenge I previously overcame.
If I fall short first I go at it again, with new feedback, until I have learned to get through it.

All results that don't literally kill me too early are results of feedback, and here really are no failures.
If I start to interpret something as a failure, or possible failure, I gently direct my mind back to the realization that it is feedback.

I've kind of nurtured this odd sort of confidence by cracking sort of egotistical, self congratulatory jokes every now and then. The more you say it the more you start to believe it, plus no one cares because they already think you're some kind of inter dimensional being, beyond ego.

at least in my experience

My self doubt comes from experience. I proof read my exam paper seven times before submitting it yesterday.

 

[The Limitless One]

Realise that you are not the thoughts you are perceiving. And they will have less power and therefore less significance, whereby they will not affect your mood.

 

[DemonD]

Get better at whatever you're doubting yourself in.

Give up?

I don't know, I deal with this everyday. I don't really believe that I'm good enough sometimes. I feel annoying, gross, unintelligent, evil... Why am I writing this, it's just making me feel bad.

I guess what works for me is to just realize the times where do DO feel good about yourself, and try to hold on to that for a long as possible. Just get to know the feeling and try to internalize it. I'm not quite sure how I started doing that, but I feel like as I got emotional maturity and self-knowledge and I started to track and keep note of how I felt, I got better. Knowing HOW you feel at any given moment can really help. It's not as redundant as I used to think. We, as humans, are emotional creatures. We can't escape that, no matter how much our mind wants us to avoid it. To understand your emotions, for me, is to understand everything. Because you can feel differently with some training of the mind. Anything that is bothering you, you can turn it into something else that is more productive ad makes more sense for your mental health.
