#no self-confidence

[threadgoodethebard]

The judges will decide

The likes of me abide

Spectators of the show

Always staying low

The game is on again

A lover or a friend

A big thing or a small

The winner takes it all

I don't wanna talk

If it makes you feel sad

And I understand

You've come to shake my hand

I apologize

If it makes you feel bad

Seeing me so tense

No self-confidence

But you see

The winner takes it all

The winner takes it all

So the winner takes it all

And the loser has to fall

Throw a dice, cold as ice

Way down here, someone dear

Takes it all, has to fall

It seems plain to me

NEW IQ MATRIX: Feelings of Inadequacy [#0499]

The Feelings of Inadequacy IQ Matrix explores how to effectively work through feelings of inadequacy and strengthen your self-confidence. When we feel inadequate, we often experience a sense of worthlessness. Moreover, we feel incompetent, incapable, and the feeling that we’re just not good enough. This tears down our self-esteem and leaves us with very little confidence and self-belief that we can do or achieve anything of value.

There is, however, a way to work through feelings of inadequacy, and this map provides a framework on how to do just that. First, it’s essential to learn how to recognize your feelings. We then need to redirect our thoughts and actions toward particular things that will help build our self-confidence. From there, it all comes down to your ability to focus your energy on addressing key areas that will help you overcome feelings of inadequacy.

Not feeling confident

I finally finished that story I was looking for a name for. I decided to put it up somewhere to see if it would actually draw some interest. It...did?... Like, not much, but the place I put it doesn’t attract audience for stories; only art. It did get favorited once. I think I’m at 52 views for one day. Probably won’t go up much from there. Thing is, while I wanna post it here, I’m not sure if I should. Or at least, I’m not sure if I should or shouldn’t be tagging it potentially with a tw tag. Nothing overly dramatic, but there is a point where the character does something that I worry would drive people away, or offend them. Should I put a tw tag on it, just to be safe, or should I wait to see if someone asks if it should have one? Because I would absolutely add one if asked.

someone: you should have more self-confidence

me: what is confidence? and where do I get this thing you speak of?

Still me: No, seriously though...

Me: I should get this cute dress.

Brain: look at that pretty skinny girl over there trying on the same dress. You shouldn't get it, you won't look good.

Me: but it's immensely comfortable and I like the pretty swish of the skirts, and the design is really cute too.

Brain: ....

Me: you're right, I won't look as pretty as her.

So many dreams, not good enough for any of them

I feel honored when someone offers me a leadership position of any kind. It obviously means they see something in me that I've never been able to see in myself. I'm not confident I'd do a good job. . .& I don't want to let down the people who trusted me enough to give me such a position. I'll do it. & I'll do my best. But I'm just terrified that my best is never enough. ~Jennette
