Dr. Aziz breaks down three myths holding you back: that confidence is fixed, that money or looks will give it to you, and that you need to feel confident before trying scary things. Confidence is a skill you build by doing the thing that scares you.
Here are the three biggest myths of.
Confidence that are stopping you from being fully confident.
Relaxed, and comfortable around anyone in the world.
First, confidence is an inborn trait, like your eye color.
And you cannot change it.
None of that is true. Confidence is actually a learnable skill, and social anxiety and other qualities are learned patterns that you.
Can change radically.
The second myth around confidence is I will feel confident when. And we try to build confidence by getting more muscular, more rich, more dating opportunities. The insecurity patterns are internal, which is why I say confidence is an inside job.
And until you.
Solve this, even if you have better circumstances.
Out there, you won't feel fully confident. The third myth.
Is I will do the things that scare me when.
I have more confidence.
You think that the confidence will come, and then I'll take the action, and.
It never, ever.
Ever works that way. The only way to get the confidence.
Is to switch it around and do the thing that scares you today.
Take the actions that scare you now.
And the confidence will come.
