Are you killing your Self-Confidence?

Who would want to do that? But strangely enough we often do things that actually sabotage our confidence in our own abilities. We all want to build up our confidence but do you subconsciously sabotage your efforts?
Do you always try very hard to show your 'Confidence' but do not actually have any confidence?
You are not alone. There are a lot of people struggling with this problem everyday. Know what happens when you resist something? even a thought, It persists. Now tell me when you want to be confident? What is your primary reason? Do you hate being Confident? Do you dislike the idea of lack of confidence?Do you get bad time due to your low confidence
It is likely that you have certain blocks stopping you from becoming the confident person you deserve to be. Want to find out what these blocks are? If you think you can never be confident, think again.

Lets check out the some of the most common blocks to self confidence.

Don't Deserve to be confident

Hard to believe but many people have this problem. Consciously you say that you want to be confident yet deep down you think you don't deserve it because you are not good enough as a person. It's similar to believing you don't deserve happiness or success. As long as this block remains, it will be very hard to reach your confidence goal.

You are afraid to be confident

Sometimes, people fear success as much as failure because of the changes it brings to their lives. It's the same with confidence. if you choose to become confident, things are going to change in your life. A lot of people find change to be a very scary thing.

You secretly think confidence is equal to arrogance

Perhaps you have met people who seemed overly confident - so confident in fact that they came across as arrogant and rather obnoxious. You may worry that you will become so confident that you will forget who you really are.
You think certain people are born with a confidence gene and are 'lucky'

You fear what others will think of the new, confident you.

Most of us care deeply what others think of us. Because a lack of confidence is so prevalent in our society, we are often surrounded by other people who are just as unconfident as we are. This often gives us a sense of belonging. The ones close to us always reinforce that. Becoming more confident means changing and sometimes this isn't favored by those around us - they might be hostile to or jealous of our pursuit of confidence and fulfillment. Sometimes they may feel threatened and you may worry that you will lose some friends.

You may belive that you are very shy and you cannot be confident
many people wrongly belive that being shy means you should not have confidence. In fact if you are shy overcoming your shyness should be a good reason why you want to become confident
