I can understand how these events may have shattered your confidence. That’s a lot for anyone to deal with, and especially all at once. My advice is to build your confidence back up one tiny brave act a time. I’m not sure what that would look like for you, because there’s a lot I don’t know about you. But maybe it’s making one or two calls for work, or getting out of your comfort zone in a social situation. If you take it one day at a time, and start seeing some rewards from these tiny acts, you will gain your confidence back over time.

I hope this helps!

Much love,

I use to have all the confiedence in the world and very sure of myself. After several bad experiences of losing a sibling, being robbed, fatal car accident, and not to mention having to quit what i thought was a career all happening in a very very short period of time, i’ve lost alot of confidence and faith in within myself. I’ve tried several different ways to ignite my confidence again but nothing seems to work. Any advice?

Reading your article made me feel a bit better about myself. It’s been really hard these past year or so. There were times where I felt as if a hole had been driven directly through my heart, the world was collapsing around me, and the icing on the cake was that I had no one to turn to. At the start of the year, I decided enough is enough, took to making change, and began by shunning away my bad habits – too much drinking, junk food, etc. Since removing these inconveniences, I feel elevated and that desire to achieve has been regained. The first part has been done. But now I’m trying to take that next step towards taking more risks. I hear physical activity is helpful towards clearing the mind and making you feel good. So I’m gonna start that again. 

Good Luck!

I recommend that you look at this website http://www.mymajors.com/. I think part of your insecurity is because your dissatisfied with your major. Great! You like science, but do you really see yourself in the next plus years? If it’s a subject that doesn’t come naturally to you and not as comfortable with it, then I really think you should consider switching majors. Don’t live the life what others tell you, because really it’s you that is living your life and whatever makes you most fulfilled. But also don’t really do it for money reasons, because the work that your most skilled at and do well, the money will follow.

I’m a college student myself, and I used to major in bio. I did found science amazing, but I wasn’t really content and I wasn’t happy, most of the time I felt insecure about myself whether I understood the material or not. It took me a while to admit that I’m not that great in science and switch major, but it definitely made me feel a whole lot happier now that I switched majors to business. Using the website above, also helped me choose the major that I’m majoring in now. Best to ya!
