what to write?
I have been told by some friends I should do a journal but I have no idea who or why people would be interested in my boring existance
Confidence
Confidence has always been a big issue for me as a person but the older I get the more confident I am getting (thankfully). On the internet I may seem confident and am more confident when chatting to different ones especailly new friends than in real life I am diferent.
BUT In general:
A person's confidence can be pushed lower or boosted by someones words and it doesnt take many and my not even be intentional.
Just an example if you are told you are not good at something you can begin to believe what you are told and loose confidence in doing that thing. Even though you may be very good at it. Likewise your confidence can can be boosted by someone telling you that you that you are good at something or that you are beautiful/gorgeous even if you know you are not.
What are your views?

Chris

I agree. If you are constantly told one thing either good or bad, you can get to believe it. It takes a very strong person to look at themselves and make their own informed decision and stick to what they know in their heart is true and not listen to others opinions. You say that you can be more confident ova the comp.. its a bit like acting, if you act a certain way for long enuff you can morph into that being... so im told anyway. The best way to do things is to just "Be" and not overthink situations, then your true persona shines thru and it is also easier to understand situations. Takes practice tho smile x
