"never been good enough anyway" well folks heard this one too many times... i wonder where my self-doubt came from 🤔

[Boutys_mom]

self-doubt.
yeah, all 3 are deep. And true!

[crustttttt]

I— i appreciate being called out like this

I avoided driving for so long. I told myself that taking the bus is good for me, and that I can handle an hour and a half on the bus and adjust how early I wake up so that I can make it to work on time.

Well, five years later, and I’m moving on to another vehicle, and driving has helped me with seeking out freedom and independence after living a life of being coddled and dependent on my parents for a lot of things.

Self-doubt has been controlling my mindset for years, but I managed to battle it and finish my novel.

This reminds me of a situation is was stuck in last year:
I am currently studying physics (now doing my master after getting my bachelors degree) and have been struggling with social anxiety disorders since puberty. So I am seriously scared of giving presentations, however to get my bachelor degree, I had to give three presentations over all of my semesters. Of course I just avoided them until I had to give three presentations in 2 weeks. And of course, I thought I would screw all of them up, would black out, stutter so bad nobody would understand me or just explain the topics horribly. But I also didn't want to explain my issue to the faculty (which could have released me from all of them), cause I knew that others were scared as well but still pushed through and not giving those presentations would have felt to me like cheating. So I pushed through (while still being worried to completely f*** it up) trained the presentations, tried to give them with or without notes, went over different explanations and so on. And of course it worked out perfectly fine, I actually got two As and a B and especially for the first two resounding positive feedback.
So yeah, self-doubt is perfectly normal, if we would never doubt ourselves we would not learn or grow from our mistakes. But it should also not be something to stop you only something to try to better yourself. If you don't think you can do something, don't let this thought stop you from doing it, but use it to prepare yourself better and learn about the thing you want to do. And then just do it (which sounds much easier than it is).

This is honestly how I got over agoraphobia. I just brought my fear for the ride, everyday. I cried more times than I can count but it does get easier.

[kittensncheese]

You have no idea how much I needed to hear this today. I have been full on avoiding for nearly a month now.

[arshkahlon]

You are the best. World need people like you

[jessieb]

Reminds me of a book I read years ago “feel the fear, and do it anyway”.
Thanks. ❤

1. Avoidance feeds self doubt
2. Tackling self-doubt demands courageous action in the direction to something that matters to you
3. When you stop waiting for self doubt to disappear it won’t haunt you back again

[Earthlybean]

I loved the way you said, “To let that self doubt come along for the ride.” I’ve been wanting to start a podcast and I’ve been holding myself back. I love your channel and the way you explain mental health! Thank you for existing! ✨

[tasania]

Its especially tough wenn the world throws more reason for self doubt at you, like job application, pressure to be successful and all those things

[DashOfSpring]

Dr. Julie, I can't thank you enough for these videos. I am someone who currently struggles with self doubt so much. Moved to another country. Hence, so many culture shocks, diferrent language, missing family and friends, constantly asking myself how am I going to manage all of that ... these videos help me a lot, Thank You!

[jamieyeng]

So true about avoidance feeding self-doubt. That s exactly what is happening. TQ for sharing

[marlaelliott]

I appreciate the succinctness of your message. You don’t ramble. Thank you. You get right to the point.

[madhurmotwani]

I completely agree with Julia. The best way to overcome self doubt or any fear is to do what scares you the most.

[philleshabradford]

This is a constant struggle from me when it comes to work and my home life and in life in general.

[lisacrow]

Thank you Dr. Julie for explaining self-doubt. I finally understand what courageous means too. Xxx
