    About some things, yes. About others, not so much, but I'm working on it. My body image confidence is a struggle. And it probably always will be. Ive finally learner to feel confident about singing in public though.

    Yes and No. There are certain areas in my life where I take center stage and become the leader. It's second nature and comes naturally. Other areas of my life, I am reserved and take a back seat to others who seem to have a passion for what they are doing. I reluctantly take the follower role and do so quietly when called upon, although it does kill me.

    Going through many tragic events will change a person. Some say I've changed for the better, but I miss the extrovert in me.

    Always been, NO WAY.

    Now, it's a work in progress..

    Getting to where I want to be physically has helped A LOT! It's really about changing the way you think. The mind itself is a muscle & needs work --changing your thought process makes the world of a difference!

    I've gained confidence from seeing physical changes---knowing I can commit to something, see results, & follow through is a great feeling!

    but really......FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT ;)

    Not always. As a young child no, I was overweight and not confident. As a teen I found some good mentors through cars and cooking professionally and that translated into other areas of my life including, work ethic, powerlifting and studying, etc. I'm confident that I can do anything I put my mind to and lead others in almost any endeavor, but realistic enough to know when I should step aside and let others lead. As I let life get in the way of my health I'd say I'm still a work in progress, but then aren't we all. I think the greaterst gift we can give another is support in reaching a higher potential then any thought was possible. I love MFP, because thats exactly what happens here. Good luck all.

    I'm with some others. It all depends on the time period in my life. Right now, I'm confident! 3 years ago, not so much!

    I'm confident enough to laugh at myself without worry.

    I have always had confidence due to my parents constantly telling me that I can be anything I choose to be. I believe them.

    Thanks Mom, Thanks Dad. :flowerforyou:

    Me too. My parents always told me that, and it helped. But unfortunately, my self-confidence has occasionally rubbed people the wrong way. I've done a lot in the last 10-12 years to soften the edges a little bit, and to be a bit more self-effacing.
