watching and knowing majority of other people aren't doing any better than me but hiding behind a facade

Nope I didn't mean it like that
I mean stop caring about what people might think of you
A lot of people go through life trying to impress other people instead of making themselves happy
I'm light skinned with hazel eyes and workout regularly
I have above average intelligence and slick tongue that stay cold like the heat don't work
I'm well traveled AND hung and eat the box with a zest for life 
My confidence couldn't be higher and I'm 5'8, bald by choice with no certs.

1st and foremost, my father. I didn't recognize it back then, of course, but when I became an adult- a lot of his teachings became crystal clear and I am able to see how they contributed to my sense of self confidence and worth.
Aside from that, I'd say that I really fully grasped my confidence when I hit about 16. And I attribute part of it to the fact that, that was the year that I started filling out more, and as a result, started getting more attention from the girls
That was around the years my 2 older brothers started taking me everywhere with them, too, finally. It made me confident as hell, and I never forget that feeling, because I knew that I had finally 'graduated' to another level in their eyes, they finally felt like I could 'hold my own'.
And finally, sports. I played football and was not all-state great or anything, but I was good. I was constantly on the field(wr/db/kr) in some way shape or form.
And anybody who's played football can attest to what I'm about to say when I say you get a lot of respect from your teammates when you're "good".
If you're a "good" player, the locker room/sidelines/huddle can be a crazy confidence booster to the male ego, at any age. It helped me a lot, and still does even to this day.

Honestly, I don't have a lot of confidence. My depression really fukked me up mentally. Its something I'm working on, but also something I struggle with on a regular basis.
It shows in your posts honestly.
Its about having fun out here bruh.
Enjoy life with no fukks to give.

interesting topic.
i had lots of confidence in grade school, but for some reason it just kind of dropped off throughout jr high and high school. it took a long time for me to build it back
the only time i had confidence in myself was when i was playing basketball during those years. it didnt seem like any girls found me attractive. even the fat chick that used to blow all my friends in HS didnt want to give me a turn.
i am an introvert so that didnt help either. i felt like a loser deep down. i wont say how old i was when i finally lost my virginity, but that definitely helped me a lot.
i went to a technical college, so there werent many females, but i did manage to bang 1 of the few. i did this by PRETENDING to be confident, and lied an said i was not a virgin. i felt like i was onto something.
i transferred to a university feeling like i was ready for the big leagues
i didnt get much play my first semester. i mainly transferred because i wanted to try out for the bball team, but i injured my leg the summer i went and it was a no go. so, i decided to put my energy into lifting weights. i was extremely skinny, so it took awhile to put on enough mass for people to really notice, but when they did start to notice that also gave me a huge boost.
then in some amazing twist of good fortune i ended up rooming with 3 college soccer players where they introduced me to alcohol. i had only had a sip of beer before and had never been buzzed. the alcohol allowed me to break free from my introversion a bit and learn to talk to people a little more.
the more i did it, the more comfortable i would feel when i was sober.
after my confidence in my appearance was sufficient, i just started trying to work on other areas. i knew i had to get better socially, and i needed to be man and get control of my life. i didnt know what i wanted to do, and didnt seem to be able to get anything done without some female holding my hand.
i guess i basically faked it until i really started to believe in myself. ive been through some tough situations and made it through without any real help from anyone, and that has solidified everything. i feel like i can do anything i put my mind to. i have a lot of great attributes that i wasted for far too long.

The shyt ive been through
Been stabbed, in major car accidents, had guns pulled on me, been jumped and took Ls, whipped ass, beat cases, lost cases and payed my debt, thrived as shark among sharks, had multiple nikkas Ive grew up with killed, continually worked to improve myself physically + mentally and my situation, and stayed true to myself. I take full responsibility for everything thats happened in my life.
Life is what you make of it. You can let it beat you or you can take control

I've killed three people while doing no jail time, survived a war, and donated a kidney to my mother all before I turned 30........
This is all pretty spot on for me actually. Except replace Dad with Mom and Grandpa. Also, as being part of this elite, that also had to come with being humble. I'm not better than anyone, nor are they better than me. That is elite to me.

Im not all that confident, I just don't give a fukk about most things. I still do bytch out sometimes but I remind myself to stop caring and then doing it. I'm not confident to the point that its second nature tho
