I Often Feel Like i’m not Good Enough Compared to Others, and This Makes me Hesitant to try new Things or Speak up. how can i Overcome This Lack of Confidence?

Dear friend, I hear the pain and self-doubt in your words, and I want you to know that these feelings are completely valid and more common than you might think. The fact that you’re reaching out shows incredible courage already. Remember, comparison is the thief of joy – you are on your own unique journey with strengths that no one else possesses. Start small: celebrate tiny wins each day, whether it’s speaking up in a meeting or trying something new. Keep a ‘confidence journal’ to record moments when you felt proud of yourself. Surround yourself with supportive people who appreciate you for who you are. Most importantly, be as kind to yourself as you would be to a dear friend going through the same struggle. Confidence grows like a muscle – with patience and consistent practice. You are worthy, capable, and enough, exactly as you are today.
