Self-confidence

Self-confidence is defined as believing in oneself.  My definition of Self-confidence is when no matter how many people doubt you, you believe in yourself.  Self-confidence is something that I struggled with ((and sometimes still do)) a few years ago because I always thought that whatever I did had to be approved good or bad by my friends and family.  I soon realized that most people I know are negative and never approved of anything I did no matter how good it was.  I developed a "i don't give a fuck" attitude and started believing in myself.  Thus i gained confidence.  Since then I am extremely confident in myself.  I refuse to let anyone make me second guess myself.  If you aren't very confident in yourself, others sense that and will take advantage of you.  So readers... are you confident in yourself??
