I don’t think anything has changed my life more than stoicism

One's emotional elasticity is key to a good life

What if you've tried something. Keep failing and have no evidence you can do it.
How can you build self belief and confidence in it then?

How was this video created? Is it green screen or did you use virtual production / projector background?? This looks CRISP 🔥 I must know!

[VladdyDaddy]

I just so love this, so very much! I can't even begin to tell you how positively this impacted me. It may appear simple on surface but there is so much depth here, stuff I have been fundamentally misunderstanding and/or missing. Thank you for this, big time!

I've always had zero confidence, I've just learnt not to fear *anything.*

Although I must say having been around 9 stone, ever since I left school, and being a manual labourer, crane operator and forklift operator up until i retired, gave me much purpose, and respect from others,
- considering my light weight and physical size.

Being honest about my own doubts and being good natured also worked in my favour,
- having no confidence, one soon learns how to polish the egos of others.

First job I had when I left school was unloading between 4 to 5, 40' shipping containers over an 8 hour day, with each container filled to the brim with 50kg hessian sacks, each filled with ground nuts.

Work like that builds character, I came out of that first job a completely different person, not so much physically, but mentally.

-But, I only really started concentrating on "the self", after battling addictions to various substances.

Still, left school at 14, retired at 40, no kids, I'm too immature for that hassle, but man enough to admit it.

I built myself a personal, but completely professional studio for myself, filled with vintage synthesizers, samplers, outboard, etc.
- I guess that was always my focus, even when I was doing stupid shite...

I still don't have any confidence,
- but I wouldn't change a thing...

Not having any confidence is 100% what shaped me...

But being mildly autistic, and a little matter of fact, I never felt the need to hide my own weaknesses, and ultimately, that behaviour, along with the weaknesses, became my strength.

god bless

I dont believe in myself, and most evidence ia hazy and ubclear at best. Reality is muddy and what to do is almost always unclear.

[elyselemieux]

This was a very demoralizing video and proves what I've believed all along. Confidence and self-esteem are evidenced-based reality. The reason I have zero confidence/self-esteem is because I've failed at pretty much every thing despite trying my best. The average person is better than me at pretty much everything. I'm failure in career and relationships. I also lack any strengths and talents. Even my own mother was unable to come with any strengths for me when I asked her. Doesn't help that I have a perfect sibling whose everything I'm not. How do you develop "confidence" and "self-esteem" when you're a 35 year old, unmarried, relationshipless, virgin woman whose been laid off by 8 jobs and still lives at home working minimum wage with no hobbies, friendships, or talents?

This humble/cocky guy always finds a way to sneak his own self-grandiosity into the answers of his guests, grow up dude!

[TennesseeJed]

Sounds more like normalcy bias than stoicism.
