Confidence; something I don’t have much of.

I always wondered why they never spoke about confidence much at school. Why they never tried to teach you the skills needed, why they never told you all the secrets to being confident. But I’m realising, it isn’t something that can be taught. Not by anybody else anyway.

You have to teach yourself how to be confident.

That’s as much as I’ve established, how you actually go about it I’m still trying to figure out. Which I hope to figure out soon, as it’s one of the many things I need to work on, maybe even work on the most. As lack of confidence puts up barriers you never asked for. It makes every task given so much more difficult, every person you meet that little bit longer to be yourself around.

Some people from an early age have always had this confidence that I’m still trying to find. They’re the lucky ones.

Can’t I just buy some already? I’d save up for it, promise.
