I Always Feel Inferior to Others in Social Situations, Like i’m not Interesting or Smart Enough. how can i Overcome This Feeling and Build Confidence?

Dear friend, I want you to know that your feelings are completely valid and many people experience similar struggles. Remember, you are unique and valuable just as you are. Start by practicing self-compassion – treat yourself with the same kindness you’d show a dear friend. Focus on your strengths and the qualities that make you special. In social situations, try shifting your attention from ‘how am I being perceived?’ to ‘how can I genuinely connect with others?’. Small steps matter – celebrate every social interaction, no matter how brief. Remember, confidence grows with practice and time. You are worthy of connection and belonging, just as you are. Be patient with yourself, and know that your presence matters more than you think.
