Do you sometimes feel you are insignificant? It's like everything you do doesn't count to anybody. Doesn't have meaning. Inferiority complex as they call it! You can't get a job 'cause you're to timid or shy because you think you're not better than the other, but in reality you're too good for the job.

I used too. But i realised that for a guy, self confidence is really attractive, and that when i see shy guys i think they are losers, no offense. Anyway everything is in the mind, we are only timid/shy because we think we are.

Sometimes we guys lose our self confidence when we are not sure of what we're doing, so sometimes we just act like we're sure of it, when in fact it scares the hell out of us.

I feel insignificant every time I am at fault and am compared to someone with a different way of dealing with things. I guess it's a disadvantage to us who are shy because people prefer those who have outgoing personalities despite the abilities.

I have to admit that there are times when I do feel like I am insignificant. Although it doesn't happen often, it does still happen from time to time. It feels like I'm not important, or anything like that. It's not a good feeling to have.

Well yeah, in the grand scheme of things I kind of am. I mean, compared to the grand scheme of the universe, where there are countless people out there, I am really just a speck of dust on that fabric. I am really no more noticeable than most people out there. I just live my life to the best of my abilities and whatever I do, is what I do and whatever I need to accomplish, is what I accomplish. I just tend to do the best that I can to live my life and if its appreciated by someone, then good for me, but I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep. Still there are times where I feel like I'm just a tool for someone else in my day to day life. Granted, I'm not looking for a ticker tape parade where my accomplishments are shouted far and why, but a little pat on the back. It kind of really makes you feel lower than low, lower than insignificant in many ways. I'm not selfish but there are sometimes where I feel like I get all of the blame and everyone else takes the credit. I think that would make anyone a bit jaded, wouldn't you think?

Sometimes I feel others are not interested in what I think. I cannot always share my opinions with others if I see they are not important for them. So I have to accept a fact and not to worry if possible. Sometimes I lack self-confidence, and it seems my words are not convincing. I should doubt less.

you should not feel that way in things you really know how to do. but don't over do it.
