As much as I dislike cliches I'm going us use one anyway: "Fake it till you make it" is real. I used to me a miserable SOB and (long story short) I started smiling by default. The resulting changes to my personality were subtle but, over time, I really did change.
I'm super confident and very happy now ... no faking required, it's really me! I never even think about the way I used to be unless I'm in a conversation like this .. it feels like a very foreign way of thinking these days.
yeah, of course (I doubt myself ALL of the time .. kinda), but when it leads to indecisiveness you're suddenly in a a bad place. Confidence is being able to say "I made the best choice I could at that time" and being able to live with the consequences. Regret sometimes comes with the territory while dwelling on it is a different kind of mistake :-)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
