Dear friend, I want you to know that you’re not alone in feeling this way. Many people struggle with self-doubt in social situations, even those who appear confident on the outside. First, please be kind to yourself. Your worth is not determined by how perfectly you speak or how others perceive you. You are inherently valuable just as you are.
To build confidence, start by focusing on your strengths. Make a list of your positive qualities and accomplishments. Remind yourself of these when you feel insecure.
In social situations, try shifting your focus outward. Instead of worrying about how you’re coming across, show genuine interest in others. Ask questions and listen attentively. Most people appreciate a good listener more than a smooth talker.
Remember, progress takes time. Celebrate small victories, like initiating a conversation or sharing an opinion. With practice and self-compassion, your confidence will grow. You have so much to offer the world – believe in yourself!
