Believing in Yourself

by Sarah
I used to lack self esteem(I still do sometimes). After CV, I found out that I do that because I want to please people and have fear that if I do or say something wrong it'll make them mad and making them mad will make me feel lonely as I will have no friends.
I admire people that have lots of confidence, maybe the main reason is because I lack confidence in myself. They seem so confident in themselves when they do things such as speaking on stage.
There was once when my mother wanted me to say a short verse in church. I said "no" at once. I was afraid that if I said something wrong, I would become the laughing stock at church.
Now, I try to calm myself by making a mental note : They won't recognize me, anyway. They won't laugh at me because they are polite. I am glad I made that note although sometimes, I still can't help feeling scared when I am asked to say a speech alone or something like that. But you can bet that I won't go as shaky as a leaf nor pale as a sheet of paper when I have to speak on stage!
With CV tools, believing in yourselves is much more easier. >_*
