Is there any time in your life when your self -confidence is shaken up

There are many instances in my life when my self confidence is shaken and I don't know what should I do.In these cases most of the time I cut myself from other people and give the problem a thought and try to motivate myself that it is not the end of the world. I think the ways of getting out of the problem and from where can I get help.Most of the times I do find some ways in this way to get myself out of the trouble and I come out much more confident of facing the world.As staying away from the others gives a chance to evaluate myself better then getting advices from others.

When I'm infront of people or crowd often times i feel that I'm not that confident enough to stand. Everytime I stand at the pulpit to read gospels I'll always feel nervous and I can't look directly to people as if their stares judging me. Composing myself and determination leads me to overcome the lack of self confidence and I'll always put in mind he quote 'If others can, why can't I'.

I think I got my self confidence shaken up just a few mnths back.. Though it wud be quite embarassing if I discussed it over here, I think I got what I deserved.. From then, I've got a lot serious towards my life.. I think I needed that performance booster in my life..lol

All my self confidence is blown away when I have to speak in front of a group of people. It does not have to be a bif crowd. I just get really scared when all focus is on me and i am supposed to deliver. I have been told that it gets better with practice. it does not. I have practised for 30 years - it only gets worse. I shake, stutter, blush - and I loose myself. i have no clue as to what i do or say. I have seen videotapes of myself - and I do not recognice it. i cannot believe that is really what I said. It all just makes me feel so small and worthless.

well yes ofcourse it had happend to me i think there is not one human being that it had not happend to him it usually happens to me after i break up from relationships but i use my logic very fast and go on and become stronger in life:)

when the three guys called me spongebob squarejaw while they are talking about me :'(... do i look awful since i have squarejawS?

That was 1 year after I quit my job. I felt I was nothing because I dont earn money, as if I cant do anything for the family, since I was used earning my own money and after a year I felt as if I'm totally dependent on my husband's finances.

I think that everyone has a time in their life when they are feeling a little less than confident. I am lucky because when I have these times, I also have a very supportive family that builds me back up and reminds me of all the good things I do and that always helps. I think it is important when we feel like this to ask someone for help or advice. Don't go through it alone or you might not feel better about yourself. We all have bad times.
