How to Overcome Insecurities

Confidence.

Something which is not so easily attained by some of us including myself.

You may be wondering how the opening image contributes in any way to what I'm about to talk about regarding confidence but take another look at said image in a different light.

It shows a man in a boat floating in the distance alone in what seems to be a dark and misty place.

Honestly, this picture well reflects some of us. In our minds, it may feel this way as no confidence is there to cover its darkness.

Confidence for me is not something that comes easy for me as I am a VERY shy person, though, it is not hard for me to make friends.

I know this might seem like just another blogger or writer filling you with crap about being confident will give you a lot of friends and will get you a lot of friends..

WRONG.

Some of us have anxiety and we just don't normally speak out cause we like being by ourselves.

That's cool.

Cause there are others who will come up to us cause our apparent timidity makes us appealing for God knows what reason.

And then what about others who are intimidated by others and are just physically unable to get a word out because of utter fear of sounding like a dumbass .__. Like myself (jkjk).

Eh sometimes.

Uh.. back to you guys.

Yeah, it's fine to be shy but sometimes you might just want to step out of your shell a bit and those who care will help you the rest of the way.

Well what about confidence in public?

Easy, imagine people in their underwear.

UM FALSE.

For as along as I have lived on planet Earth, this has never worked for me, ever.

Public speaking is one thing I hate in school because it just forces kids, who literally will choke and die on their own fumbled sentences (not literally), to speak.

Though, while the imagine underwear thing doesn't always work it's important to take time to take deep breaths and try to keep calm and remember that everyone in the audience is human like you and can make mistakes and if you're lucky you'll never have to see those lil shits again (maybe).

Finally, what about confidence in the face of bullying?

This is kind of hard because I've never honestly been bullied before, I wasn't "cool" or anything, I just didn't go past the drama zone which helped me a lot in my years of primary school.

But then I realized that racism was a thing and *sighs* since I'm a dark-skinned person (black) I guess I've watched enough movies and such to know what I'd do in such a situation.

I don't condone bullying of any degree whether because of race, physical appearance or sexuality because in all honesty none of these are up to us and are only because of our parents and sometimes not.

Confidence in this state is usually hard as people will not always agree with your side of things and sometimes it's best to leave the argument alone.

But anyway..

Before you decide to cut a bitch.

LMAOO PLEASE DON'T.

Especially if you know you can't fight.

And if you're shy it's best to consult a figure of authority and if that's not an option just—cut a bitch ehem—I mean know your rights and have your beliefs in check and when you be spitting them facts no one can tell you anything cause you delivered like a frickin' boss.

Well everyone just remember you're awesome you'll always be!

I'm Danielle ❤️ and I hope to make lots more of these.. Um things lol and maybe be able to impact a life. I've always wanted to be a writer or blogger or journalist idk to be honest I just wanna write!

Bye babes!❤️❤️❤️
