Do you ever suffer from a lack of confidence? Why? Or do you have any advice for others in here?

[@89Tymah]

I suffer severely.

Body image issues, still. Not sure if I'll ever be free of them. Thank you so much for being someone I can relate to, someone who's been through the same things as many of us. Happy Birthday tomorrow, Russ! Lots of Love!

[@lollylula6399]

Yes, a key issue with my confidence has been feeling like a 'weirdo' that others will find me odd/strange and then trying hard to figure out what the appropriate ways are. Now I practice relaxing around others and saying/doing what seems right to me, and then if others find it odd - oh well. Edit, my experience has been that certain people find me analysing wanting to get deep into things unsettling/odd, so now I've found other people that also like to do this :)

Confidence isn’t “I know they’ll like me”, it’s “I’m okay if they don’t”.

[@snu3877]

I've taken this a step further. I ask myself: if these people who don't like me, did like me, what would that say about myself? I realize the people who don't like me aren't my people in the first place... if that makes sense.

yes, same for me, or not focusing so much on my flaws. observing myself without judgement and anger and just try to modify why I believe could be detrimental to my personality.

[@XAE_A_Xii]

not to be afraid to look stupid/wrong. I think that comes with age and maturity. when we are young we think we are so important and must impress everyone. `But as you get older, you realise, people don't really give a shit about you as much as you imagined. `If you die, they will be like - "oh, so sad" and after few minutes - "what is on netflix today"? unless that your very closest people, they will mourne little longer. Ok, our parents are exceptions.

[@brianbullis6253]

I often refer to Stoic thoughts when I'm feeling insecure. Primarily understanding that I can't control what other people think of me and that most of my anxiety is coming from my own imagination. Gaslighting myself so to speak.

[@milkbread5036]

[@namehere4954]

Anxiety is driven by trying to live in the future, depression is rooted in trying to live in the past. Neither anxiety nor depression can be in the Now. Do not allow the external world to steer your internal world - be totally present not reactionary. Observing others reations/actions and not responding is incredibly powerful.

"If you want to feel confident, stop judging yourself but do work on yourself." -Russell Brand

[@jamesrawlings5781]

If you're implying that it sounds like a contradiction then yes, I thought it might come across like that. It's not a contradiction, though. Therapists like Albert Ellis and Paul Hauck talked about separating your traits / abilities etc from how you feel about your 'self' (the short version is they considered the 'self' far too complicated to accurately rate). So, thinking you're not very good at soccer is evaluating a trait/ability: feeling bad about yourself because you feel shit at soccer is judging yourself. Feeling superior about yourself for thinking you're great at sports is judging yourself. Taking steps to be a sportier person while accepting yourself as a worthwhile human (neither superior or inferior to others) no matter how good you actually get at sports, is refraining from judging yourself while simultaneously working on yourself. Simple.

[@maryanneparker863]

Confident people seem to be those who embrace (and accept) themselves :)

[@isaacnewton5075]

Here's what he won't tell you. It's jealousy that makes you compare your suboptimal situation to others. And this is like judging others. If you feel that you feel unconfident because others can do things better then you'll notice that you start acting jealous sometimes. But it's also others that treat you in a way that makes you remain in your state because you create hostility and destroy sympathy and people don't have the time to think about your situation. Jesus wouldn't approve but in our society you are free to judge others when they can't stay "positive"(in our social competitive perception) for whatever reason. Jesus would judge them if they know what they do and that requires some damn skill to recognize that I guess. I also think you can be not confident because you compare yourself to your own standards and don't reach them. So I wouldn't instantly think someone compares himself to others in an evil way(is jealous) when he's negative in a social situation where he doesn't succeed. If everybody would do it this would create some Kind of perverted illusional hell for someone who is just angry because he fails. But usually you should recognize what he really is angry at. Hm Yeah don't take what I say too serious, I just like to write in the morning :D

[@billfreeman7770]

There's a good program called Unbreakable Confidence (look for the site that has the big video on the homepage).. Those books are awesome! It's one thing to work on yourself.. but there are fit, successful people who STILL don't have the right mental state. The key is to revamp your mindset. There are fat people who are more confident than fit people, and there are poor people who are more confident than rich people.

1. Don't compare yourself to others 2. Find something you're passionate about and get good at it 3. Investigate your problems

[@abiainley9137]

@DarthYuYevon It is but you can make sure you take time out to assess yourself as yourself aside from any comparison. You can catch yourself comparing and remind yourself that it's an illusion and not a true measurement of your value. There are lots of ways you can use the information that your lack of self confidence is often due to comparison to increase your self confidence.

@@Exalted- alcohol gave me confidence whilst drinking it (of course), but the after effects of alcohol I felt sapped my confidence, not just the “hangover”, but further on from that. I think making those physical changes (like removing alcohol from my life) helped me to make mental changes, and therefore gave me more confidence. It felt like a chain reaction, treat your body with more respect (diet, exercise, no alcohol) and the mental side follows with it.

I lived my whole life feeling like everyone was better than me and feeling worthless. I depended on achievements and praise to feel confident I became a perfectionist, had high standards and so obsessively competitive. Then I started working and wasn’t getting that praise and things quickly escalated. I was depressed. I hated work and everyone in it. Things were awful. My biggest help was understanding myself and the way I think and realizing I was not different and everyone thought like me and I was not a weirdo. And then I realized confidence should come from within!! Not from outside praises and acceptance! Things changed ever since. Even at work I started to shine and I even stopped hating it and everyone in it. My life is so much better now.

Nailed it. If your focus is external you can't help but compare yourself to others. Look inside. Learn about your own genius. Learn what others see in you that you may be taking for granted. That's where your confidence is hiding.

[@j.walker6845]

Funny as it sounds, the thing that has given me the most confidence is saying others around me are good people, even only in my mind. That includes you, reading this, a good person.

[@j.walker6845]

@velveteyes79 Well, sure not everyone is good, but nobody is totally bad all the time, so it's reasonable to say everyone is good sometime and at least has the capacity for goodness. Even evil people have done many good things, managed their responsibilites and so on. (Unrelated: if people would have the chance to be identified as good people, even if they aren't, they could go on to manifest it. Just as fears tend to manifest, so can positive expectations) It relates to confidence because there is a mirror relationship with humanity, people reflect you to yourself and vice versa. If you extend unconditional approval to someone, 1. they sense your good will and enter a comfortable and accepting posture. 2. you get a boost out of lifting someone up 3. you give yourself power because you have assumed the position of judge but without the baggage of making condemnation 4. by acknowledging the inherent/potential goodness in another person, you acknowledge it by proxy within yourself (you create a positivity feedback loop) 5. by placing positive expectations on others you again gain power as you are actively channeling positive energy through becoming a conduit 6. likewise there is a fear-cancelling element due to your production of positive energy allowing you to act with enhanced lucidity. These are some theories, I don't know exactly why this exercise gave me a confidence boost, but it did. Just give it a try. You don't have to tell someone 'you are a good person' (though you can), you can just think to yourself, 'that's a good person' and see how it alters your lens to reality

[@nevereverstopsinging]

velveteyes79 false sense of feeling safe and comfortable around a positive perception of those in your immediate environment. A method of self comfort and reframing the world to feel better about it so you in there feel more comfortable to be yourself. If we don’t trust those around us, subconsciously it makes us react more hostile and less calm and open

"True confidences is when someone accepts and embraces who they are."

[@arcon97]

That is the standard quote I've seen a ton of times on office posters or inspirational memes. You should really listen to Russell's advice during the whole video. It is not just accepting who you are, but rather stop comparing yourself to absurd standards while improving yourself in areas you feel a need but with reasonable expectations. To simply accept yourself however you are without putting work toward self-improvement will lead to only more anxiety and less self-confidence.

Even if they live through some bad stuff, they still believe they can vs. other people who are never told that culturally nor see themselves in positions of power. So, even if they had worked for where they were, it wasn't nearly a 1/100th or 1/1000th as some unlucky people in our societies with its current systemic discriminations.

[@FACES918]

For the longest I can remember I’ve always hated myself even thinking back to when I was about 5 years old but not for the the way I act or the way I look, I don’t compare myself to others and I understand that I(we are) am not In control of everything that happens except our own situation. That being said I work out, listen to music, do things that make me feel good yet I still feel this way. I don’t like to think negatively but I feel like this feeling will never go away, it went away for a year back in jr year of high school but for the past 3 years it’s been back to this way. I’m not over weight and I’m not that bad looking but I absolutely hate myself and can’t seem to figure out why. Even after all the therapy, seeing a psychologist, going to impatient programs. I still see everything in the worst light when it comes to my self yet I can be so bright in other situations regarding others. You don’t have to read this or even like this comment but I hope who ever feels my pain overcomes this hardship and learns that no one is perfect and we all have purpose. Thank you for listening and stay safe💯

Not saying you have one, but maybe look into one of the personality disorders. I have borderline. It includes a whole lot of self doubt and self hate. The treatment is dialectical behavior therapy.

[@CalebHimself]

I hope you can somehow find the self-love within you to make you feel confident. I hated myself for years too, everything about me. But then I started focusing on what goals I wanted to accomplish and seeing what I wanted to improve about myself. I started to really rocus on that progress which in turn helped my mental state and made me love myself for the changes I was making. It's not perfect and everu now and then I'll get down on myself, but there has been improvement which is what is important. You recognize that you don't look bad and have things going for you in life which is good. Hopefully one day we can both find a solution to this problem.

[@musselchee9560]

I suffered (pass tense) big time. I had parents who used to beat me and put me down at every opportunity while under their roof. An evil little voice continued the work for them after they passed nearly 30 years ago, the main one being how 'useless' I was as my relationships, friendships and dreams broke down for reasons beyond my limited perception. After many years of restlessly searching/researching WHY? Two answers I deducted was: 1. Stop listening to those dead voices; and 2. increase my perception through reading reading reading, Fiction first solely to increase my vocabulary without overloading my brain with too much technical information before eventually moving fairly recently on to non-fiction for technical data as my ability at retention increased. Now I've become a gibbering idiot. Much better than the shrinking violet that was constantly taken advantage off or kowtowing to manipulation or hiding in plain sight.

[@musselchee9560]

@@CalebHimself I discovered I too needed to do self examination on my own, after, however, reading literally dozens of self help books, and 400 free hours of sessions with two Clinical Psychologists (I had a lot of layers to uncover, and it was tax payer funded). Then I came across Philosophers like Neatzsche, Locke, Camus, etc and YT channels like; Philosophies For Life, Einzelganger, WuWei Wisdoms, Eternalised, Brains Explained and many more. My original quest has exceded expectations thanks to the availability of educational learnings provided by YT'bers. I heard and read of the inner child; I was always skeptical of the concept, after all there is only one me. I've since become a believer. I found my original self, my original dreams, desires, hopes and curiousity. I found the me that was me before life and the ribald influences of grown ups dictated terms. I went back to toddler, infant, baby and even the womb to discover me. I am discovering that with self actualization the satisfaction appears greater. Good work for you to push through. You and those close to you will benefit a great deal. Keep up the good work.

@Foo Me Yeah dude, continue telling people that everything is fine and there is no need to confront challenges and work to improve on reality. That will help. Self-blame CAN be toxic, it's not that the word itself is toxic, there is a huge difference. Self-blame can give a person ownership over one's own problems, the main difference really is the productive outcome that comes out of it. It's more complicated than either of you are really making out tbh, that's why life can be hard.

[@blood_n_guts_murphy]

Its good advice. It's like the book "the subtle art of how not to give a fuck". Its a refreshing change. The core message is the same. Care about what matters like facing your fears and overcoming them. Then you will like yourself more and feel more comfortable. The whole don't say things like "can't" thing is not for self confidence imho. It is for outward success, like in work. It is vital not to have any negative self talk and regret pangs. But facing inner demons sounds like a great plan, it's just worded differently to something like "improve areas where you have room to grow". It gets to the point a bit quicker too.

This video on self confidence is good and shows us the sensitivity you have which is admirable. Now I would say if we want to get to the bottom of this issue we need to go way back to how our society is structured beginning with school, tv, advertising... a lot of it points out how "not good enough" and how we need to strive to become better. I say bullshit to this approach because it supports neurosis.. It is really apparent now a days because of social media and people opening about their struggles but it has always been around. Gossip also plays a part in this which aims to shame people. I so appreciate what you are doing by exposing how we have been manipulated all through our lives...

Because I was in this mode of pursuing my goals, I started to compare myself to those, who have already achieved it.

I have always felt naturally defensive of people who i see as being true to self and have something to offer to life, rather than mindless neanderthal behaviour. I didn't like seeing people bullied at school, and 99% of the time i wanted to stop them, and i did many times, just often it was complicated. If we were all like them, society would go down faster than it is now. The old adage that the bullys ended up with broken lives and the 'nerds' with success, proved to be true in my environments. But these days we know better now than to simply point the finger at the 'bad' people, there is sometimes a reason why they end up like that.

Great message. Thanks for taking the time to explain it in a way that makes sense. Too often do we get bombarded with self-help slogans without any sort of reasonable explanation or meaning behind the phrases. This is great advice for those who lack confidence, and for those who are constantly comparing themselves to others which always seems to lead to self-destruction. Better to completely focus on what would truly benefit ourselves individually through deep self-introspection.
