What diminishes your confidence?
 
Yes, a bit of a downer topic. But if you want to brighten it up a little you can say what makes you confident again.

I got the idea for the topic when people were going into teams of 7-8 today. But no one wanted me in their team. And when the teacher put me into a team, I could tell that they didn't want me in their team.

It just diminished my confidence a bit. It made me think 'What have I done wrong?'.

I'm not that confident anyway. I'm a little better than I was before. But I still don't have that much self confidence.

Sorry, I sound like a bloody emo now.

Well it was nice to know you're a loser in real life. :rolleyes:

Mac Sirloin 09-13-2007 10:39 AM

When people don't elaborate on their dislike for me over the internet.

Also, when I realize how whiny I get when I lose at video games.

Leto 09-13-2007 02:23 PM

Lololol.

But singing is my confidence death. I'm kinda accomplished (and man I can falsetto) but I can sing for no one but myself and an effects pedal.

Alcar 09-13-2007 03:48 PM

When I haven't showered or shaved.

What diminishes my confidence? I'll tell you what diminishes my confidence. When I have a crush on somebody and I ask them out, and they regect. Now that's a confidence slicer.
Yup, I'm probably gonna be single for a looooong time.

I recommend you get a hysterectomy when you are older and become a charity worker or nun. That's much better than sex.

Mutual Friend 09-13-2007 05:19 PM

Unconfident people make me feel confident.

Confident people make me feel sexy.

Pat, stop being such a whore.

Marvak 09-13-2007 08:27 PM

Oh, and mirrors make me feel unconfident too. Although, mirrors make every woman feel unconfident, so I guess it doesn't really count.
Pat, I don't think becoming a nun would really suit me. I mean, the religious side of things and all. And charity makes me want to retch.
I'll think seriously about the hysterecomy though.

Fun to see a topic where everyone displays their exact weaknesses. Makes it so much easier for me.

Mistress of Oddworld 09-14-2007 01:46 AM

Havoc, what's your weakness?

Mine is when I walk into a room late, and everyone just stares at me... That's the only thing I can't stand. Being with a group of people that just... stare at me. I know I talk a little different but, jeez, gets me crawling for mercy everytime.

Gabiar 09-14-2007 01:08 PM

When people leave me out, people insult me or don't believe in me. That irritates me the most and destroys my confidence.

Being ridiculed. In real life, that is.

skillyaslig 09-14-2007 07:09 PM

*has a heart attack* Anyway, my confindence killer is probably being mocked, or called a freak. I dont like that...other wise nothin' really. I even fell over in PE, Smacked my head right on the floor, but I didn't worry, just laughed. Rather madly and stupidly, but yeah...

Mac Sirloin 09-14-2007 07:27 PM

Getting ridiculed by Jocks, If there was one group of people that I could stereotype, it would be those pompous fuckers.
I will hurt one of them soon, If there is some report, I shall scan it in and show you all my hate for those assholes.

Not that it matters, nobody cares about highschool sports anyway.

Rex Tirano 09-15-2007 06:40 AM

Groups of 3 or more boys who I don't know. I don't know why but it's the one thing that makes my confidence drop more than anything in the world.

That and being called ugly/fat/generic mean things.

Facsimile 09-15-2007 07:27 AM

Mirrors, and thinking. Usually the two are related.

moxco 09-15-2007 11:18 PM

When people don't say 'No pressure, but you have to win'.

skillya_glowi 09-20-2007 04:31 PM

What really gets my confidence down is being ignored. I hate not getting any attention at all even more than getting negative attention. Dunno why.

Nate 09-20-2007 04:43 PM

Oh, yes. That totally does it for me. I think it's part of being a youngest child with very loud older siblings - I used to get ignored all the time and had to fight for any attention. Which explains a lot about my personality, really.

Leto 09-21-2007 12:08 AM

I'm the youngest in my family of louder older siblings, and I can flag off no attention pretty easy.

On the flip side, I annoy people intentionally because... yeah, I'm the youngest.

skillyaslig 09-21-2007 01:51 PM

Oh, and getting hit by stuff, that shuts me down

LadySlig 09-22-2007 04:51 AM

Yes, that is not nice. I dont like being called names. Kills my confidence.

What gets me down: I'm not to sure anymore. I get pissed in my mind a lot, and I don't have any confidece to begin with. I guess my stats really drop when I get caught unprepared for something (could you come up to the board and show us please?) But at least I have an escape plan most of the time (teacher, I'm a little tounge tied here...|Alright. What she just did was a form...)
It's a really scary thought, me not having an escape plan. But I pull through most of the time. I love my legally insane mom for showing me how to manipulate the human psyce as a form of survival.

What perks me up: Conducting social experiments. Especially on forums. Don't worry, you guys passed the test. That's why i'm still here. plenty of others have failed.
It helps me to realize just how dumb the human race is. So far, I've concluded that only me and the members of this forum are probably going to survive the apocolypse.
(one time, I did this gag in my school, and everyone believed I was an alien from thardusIV! It lasted a month, untill someone got smart. They all know the human race is totally PWNED.) I stand by my previous paragraph ending statement.

skillyaslig 09-26-2007 07:28 PM

I get happier if someone is nice to me, or complaments my drawings and whatnot, that helps me. :) Oh, and people who are happy as well.

Slig 7665 10-07-2007 12:43 PM

Hmmmm for me it has to be around people bigger and older than me oh and moshers goths whatever you call them probobly cause they threw a friend of mine into a wall and now he blames me and I'm sure there going to get me too stupid I know but they were years older than me.

OANST 10-07-2007 12:45 PM

Just tell them that Lestat isn't real and Anne Rice is an awful writer. They'll be too busy crying to "get you".

Strike Witch 10-07-2007 02:14 PM

Oh, Won't you let me be your SLEDGE-HAMMER! It will be my test!


I get down when there's no aberration anywhere. I treasure a good difference in anything.
