For me, having confidence is having self belief in yourself. Believe yourself, believe in your capabilities, believe in your hidden talents and gifts. Secondly, don't compromise with yourself for others. You need to be happy as well. Sometimes it's hard to say NO to people. But try to put yourself first, think about your feelings and insecurities and be confident to say no to people when you don't want to do something. And just truly believe in you, you can do anything because you are beautiful✨❤

⭐️ What does it mean to have confidence?
to me, having confidence means to put your fears aside and be yourself. It doesn't mean you'll never feel afraid or anxious, but it means that you will embrace how you feel and be okay with who you are.

@CheeryMango Thank you for this icebreaker 😊

"Being Confident in Ourselves" to me is to believe in ourselves and our potential to face anything that comes our way without giving in to our anxieties or insecurities and being comfortable in our own skin. 💛 "Being Unapologetically Me" 💛

keeping a handle on anxiety for me is confidence and facing it when I haven't. It means being happy with whom I am when others don't like me. Trying day by day.

Confidence to me means having a clearer resolve and not hesitating so much in decisions. It is respecting myself enough to know that I can handle whatever life throws at me. It is not worrying so much about what other people think, and not trying to gather approval from others.

Being confident is having the firm bleif in one's own skills, abilities, and qualities, and being able to appreciate you're own self-worth.
