I wonder if anyone is like me. I lack confidence at almost everything except for my academics. But I don't think I get to be that confident. It's a weird cycle: I'm confident -&gt; I get a bad grade or I get rejected for something -&gt; I think it's the end of the world and I'm just a failure -&gt; I comfort myself because this aspect is the only thing I have -&gt; I feel confident and failed again. This happens so frequently that it makes me think I shouldn't get to be this confident. Especially when doing group projects, those that I work a lot on and have high hopes for always get bad grades and those I barely work on get good grades. But subconsciously, I'm still somewhat confident with myself and it's annoying because I hate going through that cycle and get extra disappointed and depressed. So I'd like to ask how to crush that confidence of mine even subconsciously and let myself know my place?
