something i employ when i'm feeling especially self conscious is the “i’m too pretty for” mantra, which is essentially just confidence in the face of self doubt. i.e. if i’m feeling particularly anxious about a social situation ill just repeat to myself, “i‘m too pretty to worry about this.” and it usually helps. i call this the paris hilton persona because its basically a media personality that helps when i’m feeling negatively about myself. developing an alter ego is a good way to train your regular ego into being more confident and self assured, at least in my experience! hope this helps

I love this! I might add to the Paris Hilton mantra “I’m too pretty for this. My vintage radios won’t repair themselves.“ Her depth is astounding.

I relate so much to your plight!! Being confident is genuinely so difficult, but everyday is a chance to practice. Something I do? Play pretend. Listening to music that pumps me up and wearing an outfit I like usually helps, but the rest is all an elaborate disguise. At first I thought it was delusional for me to think I’m hot shit, and it felt silly to even pretend like it was true. Recently, I’ve actually started to believe it, and I think normalizing that thought in my head through pretending really helped.

the easiest way is to permeate your negative thoughts with positive ones, to an outrageous, ridiculous extent. when i find myself thinking my art sucks, i say aloud "no i am so good and i am also so pretty and funny" and eventually it works.
