I read this often. It’s helped me whenever I get stage fright and even a few times on first dates!

That was awesome to read, love the cab example. Realizing and truly knowing that you have done your best and are honorable is a great source too, but you have to realize it first. worse comes to worse you can always tell yourself that lesser fucktards have made it thru far more shit than we’ll ever have to deal with and they seem to come out ok – so why wouldn’t I? sort of thing.
Yay for u Chris, ur a Doctor too!!!

Insightful, but slightly off. I think it’s “knowing the options” available more than having them. This is where the knowing and being honest to one’s self comes into play. Overconfidence isn’t too many options, but the assumption of more than are actually available. Undermined confidence is when someone reveals your options more realistically. Low/lacking of confidence results from not knowing what or how many options are available. And being a jerk is assuming you care for my two cents…I bow out back to my lowly status.
