Low confidence is not necessarily a byproduct of bad thought patterns only. It can also be the result of an accurate assessment of your competence level in one or more domains of your life.

Maybe you have poor social skills. Maybe you don't know how to defend yourself. Maybe you don't have any marketable skills that you can use to provide for yourself and others. In such a case, you're supposed to have low self confidence until you've acquired the necessary skills. You certainly wouldn't want to be confident and incompetent at the same time. That's a dangerous combination. If you've identified your problem areas, then you can find the necessary resources to improve and attack your shortcomings head on.

Too many brehs suffer because they think confidence is something you're supposed to have regardless and that's definitely not true at all. It should be a byproduct of competence.

Some brothers do have a lot of confidence but it's based on self delusion. Alotta brehs are walking around vulnerable as hell without even knowing it. When reality strikes.... :francis:

basically we should identify our weaknesses and if they cannot be corrected, we should acknowledge we have low confidence in that area. I’ve admittedly spoken in threads I’ve had confidence in but had no clue about the subject matter.

With that said, having low confidence overall is NOT a good thing.

The phrase “fake it, until you make it” is some real shyt and can take you far in this world. Unless your applying to be a brain surgeon or lied about being a singer and you’re about to sing the national anthem at the super bowl, “fake it, lie to yourself” you can and will learn on the job. We are what we think:manny:
