Many people say: first, try to build your self-confidence by convincing yourself to feel good (e.g. dress well, seek positive affirmations, etc.; and then go try to change the world). But I realized that never worked. No matter how “confident” I felt, I could never feel confident to do what I wanted to do. I realized, then, that this approach was completely wrong. The key to confidence is entirely about doing things despite the fact you’re scared stiff. It’s acting when you don’t know how to act. It’s trying even when you’ll probably fail.
