Lack of

Confidence
Your degree of confidence, called self-confidence, is the trust or faith that you have in
yourself and your abilities. Self-esteem is the opinion you have of yourself.

Realistic feelings of confidence and positive self-esteem affect how you think and act,
how you feel about others, and how successful you are in life. Having self-confidence
does not mean that you can do everything. Self-confident people have expectations that
are realistic. Even when some of their expectations are not met, they continue to be
positive and to accept themselves.

Self-confidence allows you to have positive yet realistic views of yourself and the
situations in which you are involved. If you have self-confidence, typically you do not fear
challenges, you are able to stand up for what you believe, and you have the courage to
admit your limitations.

Most of us have areas in our lives where we feel quite competent while at the same
recognizing areas where we do not feel at all confident. Having an accurate sense of
self-confidence means you avoid behaving overconfident or reckless. It means you are
not afraid to take risks on tasks that you are able to do and you do not get paralyzed
by the fear and anxiety when faced with things you want or need to do.

People with high self-confidence typically have little fear of the unknown, are able to
stand up for what they believe in, and have the courage to risk embarrassment. Losing
confidence is no longer trusting in the ability to perform. It may be reasonable as the
result of past failure to perform, or unreasonable, because one "just has a feeling" about
something or is having doubt.

Many factors affect the development of self-confidence. Parents' attitudes are crucial to
children's feelings about themselves, particularly in children's early years. When parents
provide acceptance, children receive a solid foundation for good feelings about
themselves. If one or both parents are excessively critical or demanding, or if they are
overprotective and discourage moves toward independence, children may come to
believe they are incapable, inadequate, or inferior. However, if parents encourage
children's moves toward self-reliance and accept and love their children when they make
mistakes, children will learn to accept themselves and will be on their way to
developing self-confidence.
