Self-confidence is our belief that we are sufficient and valuable, along with our optimistic attitudes towards ourselves, to help us be confident in our skills and abilities and thus act bravely. Lack of self-confidence can be defined as a lack of belief in one's abilities and competence. While self-confidence helps people cope with problems more positively and direct their energy to the most meaningful work for themselves, increasing the quality of success and social relationships; Low self-confidence can prevent these.
Lack of self-confidence occurs for different reasons in each person. Factors such as genetic factors, our cultural background, childhood experiences and living conditions can all play a role. Negative life experiences created by all these factors are very effective in the formation of beliefs about ourselves such as "inadequacy", "deficiency" and "worthlessness". But this should not make us despair. Although it may seem difficult to change these experiences that shaped us in our past, there is a lot we can do to eliminate the negative effects of those experiences on us.
