Mental Health Support

But If you think more about it you may find that there are ways that you can prove yourself without having a great deal of confidence in social situations.

I'm not the most confident person, but I am good at what I do. I drive trucks for a living. I'm in the process of changing that, but for now it's what I do. When I go to talk to someone for a job, I come across as reserved and maybe a bit timid. But I have 16 years of safe driving experience in all kinds of commercial vehicles. That speaks for me to a certain degree and will get me in the door at a lot of places. Then they will test my driving ability. When I hop behind the wheel of a truck I can make it do anything I want it to. My low confidence in myself disappears. My timidity disappears. I'm master of the vehicle. When they see that, they know for sure that I'm good.

If you develop a high degree of skill in an area of study or a trade, your confidence will be high when you are working with that skill. It might not be socially, but you will be able to prove that you are good at what you do and the confidence will just come naturally. You don't have to be a socialite to get along okay in life. I think you can do it. I have confidence in you.
