How confident are you?

Hi Theagent, I agree with you in most part but I think it the parents have a lot to do with how their children are, if they don't pay much attention to the child and the child is lefte isolated in so may ways then I think that the child then lose sefconfident in themself, so that where its stems from and continue in school. I think that the school should really pa attention to children who are like that, they should spot a child who has no self- confidence in themself. Tamara

I like to think that I am pretty confident. I am more confident in areas that I am good at than areas that I am not so good at. I believe that it is true about children that don't get a whole lot of attention. I didn't get that much attention as a child and I really had to work on gaining my self confidence. I am a lot better now because I have a very supportive husband.

I have never thought of myself as pretty... especially not in my awkward 'tween' years. when i was in between losing my little kid look and puberty... i was, honestly, quite ugly. In my beginning teen years i was never thin, and too tall. the exact opposite of most Jr. high girls. they were short and skinny, i was large and awkward. since then, i have lost so much more weight, gotten even taller, and my body is forming its proportions. not done though. though now i may be better looking then i have been, inside i still have that little girl and that awkward tween, and i still see those two every time i look in a mirror. I know that i have changed, and i see it, but at the same time i haven't lost everything with that change. 2. strong confidence i've gone through that whole process of 'finding myself' among others. trying to fit in, changing myself to do so, all that dumb stuff.. then i decided to give up on it, because that wasn't ME. now i just act the way i feel, dress in what i like, listen to whatever music appeals to me, and i don't care if people don't like me for it. its me, take it or leave it. i have many friends who love me, and i know i can be completely myself around them, because true friends love and accept you for YOU. 3. confident the only reason that this isn't strong is because i am sometimes indecisive. when i know what decision i am going to make, i will make it, and i am not easily pressured into thinking otherwise. though, when i am faced with many possible choices of my liking, i find it hard which way to go. each choice has a benifit or effect that the other does not. this makes it hard for me to chose. my intellect? well, i prefer to goof off around friends, but one thing that i do that many people do not know about is that i blog. its what i do. it brings out my inner thoughts, the parts of me that sound pondering, smart. i'm good at things almost only when i want to be, when i am motivated to do so. when i set my mind to something, i become a perfectionist, and i will not stop working until every little thing i do satisfies myself. i think confidence is something that builds up inside of you, and even though you may be lacking it, it will come.

I think I'm a pretty confident person. It's different at work and at school though.

I don't think I am confident. Maybe because I'm so untalented. Or maybe I THINK that I have no talent that's why I am not confident. I just wish I will have the confidence like the others.
