It feels good in the short term to talk about all the doubt, dread, hopelessness I feel.
But by presenting positivity and confidence:
~ Others are happier in my company
~ I are surrounded by positive people
~ I have positive interactions with people
~ I find myself in rewarding situations
Really is that simple

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.

Whenever I start a new course or I meet new people, I pretend I’m this super confident guy and goodness it helps my social anxiety disappear so fast.

What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you can know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.
