Talking about: CONFIDENCE

[Aspie_With_Attitude]

This where I talk about confidence and be able to stand strong above self doubt. At he same time I had made realistic choices, allowing my current YouTube channel to work out the way I envisioned this more than 5 years ago even before making my first upload. I had kept all my expectations out of the channel as a whole.

How are your confidence?

How often do you doubt yourself?

 

[Gerald Wilgus]

I no longer doubt myself without good cause as I try to review my days to see what I have done well or need to improve. Many decades ago I was filled with self doubt and had little agency. Slowly I learned how to be effective and could advocate for myself. In part, successes in research as well as learning to be social helped my confidence.

That is wonderful. I am happy that you have done well with this, I am proud of you. You have every reason to be proud of yourself.
It is really hard to be autistic and try to exist without much support.
And yes it is easy to struggle with self doubt and self esteem does not matter who you are. We all have struggles as autistics.
I do struggle with self doubt in many areas of my life or feelings I can overcome it all alone. I have struggled a lot trying to do it all alone. It is not easy.
And I have struggled a lot with my junk.
I do the very best I can.
And despite being a beautiful women I have struggled a lot with confidence over my appearance due to weight loss and other that have been way over my head. Autistics and adhd can struggle with self doubt and self criticism.
I have struggled a lot without love and support at times and wish I could disappear.
I have struggled a lot with fitting others boxes and high expectations of others I do not think I should be made to fit to feel like I am what others want need.
My autistic struggles have been hard and ongoing sometimes I feel like does it ever get better.
I have struggled a lot with self harm because I feel blamed and do not see how my life will be good when i should have the best.
Do not blane yourself at all feeling any self doubt or confidence issues, you are wonderful the way you are.

When it comes to my special interests rarely, why I made so much headway when I was employed, the main obstacles were others doubting me, not me doubting myself.
I believe you can see the same in my covid thread.
I have I bit of doubt on my physics special interest do not have the formal education relying exclusively on by ability
to visualize.

I don't think doubt and confidence are necessarily at odds with each other. They can to be sure. But I doubt myself all the time. I view doubt for what it is, a proposition yet to be tested. It's not objective. One doesn't know until they try, whether or not they're capable and it takes many tries to become remotely competent in anything.

One of my Jumpmasters in airborne school told us something that has been a guide to me whenever my mind starts believing its own nonsense in doubt without objective verification.

"Men. You're about to do something that only a small percentage of humans will ever do or ever want to do.

I know you're scared. You're supposed to be scared. You're jumping out of an airplane using government issued equipment. You volunteered for this, we did not bring you here so don't waste our mf time. Jump scared and you'll understand what separates men of action from everyone else in every area of life."
