Best Of

Hi @willowtrees the methods you have come up with are great I think everyone has struggled with low confidence at some point in life. This is completely normal, at a point in my life when my confidence was low I would watch motivating videos on YouTube constantly. It really helped me believe in myself and diminish any negative thoughts, try watching Ted talks too to help with your presentation and breathing exercise to relieve any anxiety.

For me, the best way to ease my anxiety is to do a lot of planning and preparation. For an interview, I will research the company, what's going on in that sector, what questions might come and try to plan my answers. For a presentation, in the past, I have written a speech and literally read my speech off a bit of paper. But with some practice, I have relied more on using powerpoint slides to guide me through what I'm going to talk about so that I'm trying to present rather than just reading.

Breaking things down into smaller steps and then practicing those smaller steps to reach bigger steps is really helpful in increasing my confidence too.

Look forward to hearing from others!

@Orchid059 I’m not sure what you’re referring to? Sorry. I think I’m safe, it’s just that our house is very full and I’m not sure when that becomes unsafe

Hi @AnonymousToe sorry if i wasn't very clear. I just wanted to make sure you felt safe in the house because you mentioned in a previous post that you just wanted to get out.

We are here to talk through anything that has been on your mind
