I Lost My Self Confidence

Tweet

I'm not a go getter but somehow I have my share of talents and achievements. I always have believed in myself and what I could do. But this is not enough for me to go apply for a position in my present work. My previous mentor pushed me one day to go apply for a trainer position. He boosted my morale and said that I have a good edge because I have my teaching experience. Half-hearted, I applied for it and I know I did my best. I'm a good sport, so when I didn't get the job because according to my friend I'm too soft spoken to be a trainer, I let it go and charge the whole idea to experience. But ever since then I never felt that competent anymore. I feel more disappointed when I encountered one of the persons they chose for the position I previously applied. I can't say she's not competent, she has the drive but I feel she has more to learn. But yet again, I began feeling inferior. I started becoming quiet and detached to people. I started doubting what I can do. That's probably why I never ventured applying for a any other position because this will be the result of it. How I'll bring myself together again? Any suggestions? Thank you.
