How did you overcome this feeling? Was it just an overnight thing or something you had to work on?
Both. The realization was when two of my closest friends pointed my attitude out to me. It was one of my defense mechanisms, so I didn't see it myself. That moment was a couple of years ago - I'm still working on it. But my self-worth, and in turn my confidence, is still growing, even though I sometimes have moments of doubt. There's obviously more to it than this, but that's a bit too personal to post on the Internet.
