There are times when no matter how well you know yourself, you tend to underestimate yourself and what you can do. Personally, there are certain instances that I find myself not so confident about certain things. Because of this, I ten to underestimate myself. But this happens rarely. When it does, I always reassure myself of what I can offer or what I can actually do. How about you?

sometimes? well i've been to a lot so sometimes i am doubting myself already. but just like you it does not happen to me all the time. underetimating oneself sometimes is healthy because when you are sobrang bilid on yourself you are blinded on comments that people will give.

You are right... When one is too confident, he may have the tendency not to listen to the comments people give them. Later on, they commit mistakes and regret. Thank you for sharing!

I have underestimated myself...And find out that I'm better at than others..Like I like to armwrestle but didn't want the embrassment of losing..My husband and brother inlaw trained me...My first tournament I took 1st place...And still to this day I still will dealt myself when doing this...I guess my self confidence is low..

You armwrestle? That's not so common among women. But you are right, when one finds out that they are actually better than others on some things, you become more confident about yourself. Thank you for sharing.

well i feel that a lot with my studies.. im taking computer system technology at college and sometimes i feel like im not ready to get a job fixing computer.. i didnt get a coop job just because i was afraid of interview, they were gonna ask me questions about computers so i wasnt sure if i was gonna be able to answer then.. i am tired of feeling that way, i want to trust myself more..
good topic.

Yes I am sometimes amazed at myself when I have achieved something I did not think myself capable of. That is why you should always try to meet a challenge whenever life seems difficult.

I think that everyone has sometimes in their lives where they do always underestimate their selfs because everyone has times where they think that they just aren't good enough to do whatever it is that they have to do...and i mean i have had alot of times in my life like that too where i was ask to do something or something like that and i just though that it was too much for me to have to do and didn't wanna do it...
