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.
How I lost my self-confidence

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.
Turning point in self-confidence path
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 started my transformation by looking to self-help and personal development books for guidance.
I started reading everything I could about it. I joined a support group and started talking about the past with people who had experienced similar problems.
I delved into psychology to understand how the past and all events affected me.
The journey was not easy, and any progress required time and effort, and above all, facing yourself.
Overcoming fears and accepting vulnerability
Once I came across the concept of a highly sensitive person on the Internet - it was one of the most groundbreaking events.
I discovered that my perception of the world, and my sensitivity (different in a sense) has its charm.
I've found that admitting my fears and insecurities doesn't make me weak, it just makes me human (just extremely sensitive).
I started to open up to my loved ones about what bothers me, and what I struggle with and I understood that if they are people I can call friends, they are not going to judge or criticize me.
The right people help you get straight.
At this point, I would like to thank my friend Agnieszka, who helped me tremendously in extremely difficult moments of my life and who opened my eyes to many things. And of course the other person, my boyfriend Antoine. The most special, caring, and inspiring person in my life. He surrounded me with a love I couldn't imagine before, he made me feel the most important, beautiful, happy, and safe. And most importantly, he supports me at every step and is with me at all times (even when my inner demons are stronger than me).

Open up
The moment when I started writing a blog and telling the world about what bothers me, interests me, and helps me had a huge impact on me.
I started writing openly about topics that concern me directly. By exploring my knowledge, I could start helping not only myself but also others who are on a similar path as me. I also understood that my journey can inspire others. I felt that helping others in building self-confidence, acceptance, and authenticity as well as deepening knowledge and helping in development is something I want to do.
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.
I created a powerful course that includes practical exercises, tools, and strategies to build confidence and overcome self-doubt that covers 99% of possible cases.
I can proudly say that my goal is to help people overcome self-doubt and achieve their goals through personal development.
Being an instructor of a self-confidence development course is an incredibly rewarding experience. This allows me to share my knowledge and passions with others and allows me to continue learning and my personal development.
In conclusion, I would like to say that today I am a strong, independent, and self-confident woman.
I know that I can achieve everything they plan, and I am not afraid to take risks and make my dreams come true.
While my journey wasn't easy, it was worth it to become the person I am today. I am proud of the progress I have made and I am looking forward to further development and learning.
For anyone struggling with a lack of confidence, I'd say it's important to remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and it's okay to make mistakes.
It is important to constantly step out of your comfort zone and pursue your goals. With time and effort, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
Self-confidence is not an inborn trait, it is a skill that can be learned and mastered over time. So if you are ready to start your transformation, I invite you to join our course.
Let me help you become a confident person.
