I suffer with terrible self confidence. It gets in the way of doing things I want to do and heightens my anxiety. But I was raised to believe that too much self confidence was bad, my parents would randomly hate on anyone who “loved themselves” was “full of themselves” “liked the sound of their own voice”. My achievements were celebrated but I was also regularly told to not let things get to my head. I’m trying to adopt positive affirmations to improve my self confidence but I also feel anxious that loving myself or believing in myself makes me a bad or cocky person. Has anyone had experience trying to overcome this belief?
