Self Confidence

   Being confident in yourself is very important. Self confidence is the feeling of trust in one's own abilities, qualities, and judgement. Self confidence is an important characteristic that an individual should always have. Self confidence allows individuals to not feel brought down by anything. Whether it be another person or a concept of some sort. Believing in what you can accomplish and your positive point of view towards life allows you to live your life to the fullest and do what you want to. For example, if someone lacks self confidence then they may feel that anyone can make them feel however they want to and not how the individual wants to. This is because that individual lacks the self confidence that would allow them to believe in themselves. In doing so, the individual feels that other people have the power and ability to make decisions for them. Self confidence helps an individual view the perception of themselves in a positive manner. Lacking self confidence is a negative point of view and shouldn't be involved in people's life. People need to believe in everything they feel is possible and never feel optimistic about the cons of a situation, only the pros.
   I remember when my self confidence was brought down at one point. A fellow classmate had made a rude and hurtful remark about me and that shifted my attitude about my self confidence. My self confidence was downgraded very low. I knew that no one's opinion should change how I contain my self confidence, but the remark was so hurtful that it lowered my confidence. I finally gained back that self confidence when I was able to realize that I am proud of who I am and no one can lower my confidence. My self confidence still remains high and strong. No ones opinions about me will change how I feel. My own positive viewing of my self confidence is all that matters.
