MY STORY TO BECOME SELF-CONFIDENT

Life can be an unpredictable roller coaster that takes us through moments of doubt and uncertainty. We all face challenges that test our self-confidence, but some people have a particularly deep struggle.

Confidence is an essential aspect of life. It helps you achieve your goals, overcome obstacles and maximize your potential. However, not everyone is born with a high sense of self-confidence. For many people, including myself, this is something that needs to be developed through active effort and personal development.

Therefore, in this article, I would like to present you my story and prove that nothing is impossible. The only thing stopping us is ourselves.

Let me start by saying that this is my personal story.

As a child, I was always a very open, brave, and confident person. I wanted to be everywhere, around people all the time, and get attention all the time.

Both at school and in my family, I was perceived as a bright and talented person, full of potential, passion, and dreams.

I was full everywhere. I performed in the theater, took part in various sports competitions, and chaired the school council, it would seem that everything is going in the right direction. That this passionate girl will always be with me and help me achieve my goals.

At some point, during adolescence to be precise, I began to see myself differently. The body of this always slim, athletic girl began to change, and not necessarily in the way I wanted.

I remember the moment when I came across a blog about the pro-ana group on the Internet. I started to research the subject (which I now know was the stupidest decision). This meant that my main goal at that moment was to become as slim as possible, to join the group of girls who could be called "thinspiration".

Why am I writing about this, it was this moment that caused a large part of my confidence to flee. I began to close myself off, to be only me, the internet and constantly thinking about being, as it seemed to me at the time, "perfect".

This caused this popular, crazy, and brave girl to disappear.

This time was also associated with other events that had an impact on the loss of self-confidence.

Namely, being the daughter of the headmaster, I was always expected to get the best grades, to be an example for others, and to be the so-called "perfect daughter". And believe it or not, I did everything to prove that I deserved such a name. Unfortunately, despite a lot of desire, the requirements were constantly growing, and instead of feeling more and more confident, I was losing my self-esteem year by year.

After all, how is it possible that someone else's daughter passed medicine and I did not, that someone else's daughter is slim and always organized and I am not? All these events (as well as many others) meant that at some point I was afraid to make a phone call to settle the simplest matter because someone could judge me. I was afraid to speak up at meetings or social situations, and I often felt like I had nothing of value to contribute.

I still remember the feelings I had at that moment in my life. Constant fear, suspicion, and self-blame for all the evil in the world.

I was constantly comparing myself to others, feeling that I never lived up to society's standards. Fear of judgment and failure has kept me from achieving my dreams many times, leaving me trapped in my mind.

This lack of confidence made me feel like I wasn't living up to my potential and was keeping me from reaching my potential.

My struggles with confidence have been a significant source of stress and anxiety in my life. I often felt nervous and shaky when I had to speak in front of others, and I constantly doubted myself. I felt like I was stuck in a place where I couldn't change my life. I had no idea what my strengths were, or what I love to do.

The only thing I was sure of was that I had to change my life if I wanted to be happy.

One day I can say that I had an epiphany. I realized that I couldn't go on living a life of self-doubt and negative thoughts.

I longed for change and realized that it was time to embark on a journey of self-discovery and development. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I was determined enough to face my insecurities.

So I decided to take action and work on personal development.

I am constantly exploring my knowledge, educating myself on the subject of personal development to provide the most valuable information.

Thanks to my path of personal development, I have gained the appropriate skills and knowledge necessary to teach others.
