How to be confident? The answer: self-worth. I'm going to be honest, I don't know if this is as mind-shattering to others as it is to me. For me, I had never recognized that realizing your self-worth was the key to confidence. So, let's go into my passionate, uplifting talk.
We ALL have value. And as much as some people seem to believe, no one is worth more as a person than anyone else. We are ALL equal. True confidence does NOT come from the validation of other people or make-up or clothes or friends. Yes, these things can BOOST our confidence. But, real confidence comes from inside ourselves. It comes from knowing that we are worthy and our opinions, thoughts and ideas are just as valuable as the opinions, thoughts and ideas of others. Knowing and truly believing this will allow you to be confident.
This may seem obvious or simple to some people. Maybe you have heard this a million times before. But I don't think that a lot of us actually believe it. If you do, that is amazing. But if you don't, know that you have value and please recognize your self-worth. :)
That's all for now.

Self worth is the key to love, but I think because of the pressure of reaching some nonexistent "standards" in today's society, bullying, and self doubt, people don't often realize that they do worth something, and thus that affects confidences. It's kind of like that for me, with writing; people tell me I should keep on writing, but my novels are getting nowhere and I don't see how I have a Voice in writing.

I completely agree that things such as bullying and self-doubt can affect a person's confidence. I tried to focus on my opinion on what the foundation of confidence is (self-worth), but yes other outside factors can really damage confidence as well. I also hope you continue with your writing. :) Thanks for the comment!
