5 Confident Myths 🤔

This post is straight from my book CONFIDENT 📖, where I bust the biggest myths about confidence that keep so many people stuck.

If you’ve ever thought confidence is something you’re just born with or that you need to fake it till you make it, you’re not alone… But you’ve also been misled! 🚫

Let’s break down 7 common confidence myths and uncover the truth so you can start building real, unshakable confidence!

1. Confidence Is Something You're Born With

🚫 Myth: Some people are just naturally confident, and others will always struggle.
✅ Truth: Confidence is a skill, not a trait. Like any skill, it can be learned, practiced, and strengthened over time.

2. You Need to "Fake It Till You Make It"

🚫 Myth: Pretending to be confident is the only way to become confident.
✅ Truth: While stepping outside your comfort zone is key, true confidence comes from self-trust and action—not just pretending.

3. Confident People Never Feel Fear

🚫 Myth: If you’re truly confident, you won’t feel nervous or doubtful.
✅ Truth: Confidence isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the ability to take action despite fear.

4. Confidence Means Being the Loudest Person in the Room

🚫 Myth: Confidence is about being bold, extroverted, and always in the spotlight.
✅ Truth: Real confidence is about self-assurance, not volume. Even quiet, introverted people can be incredibly confident.

5. You Need External Validation to Feel Confident

🚫 Myth: Confidence comes from praise, approval, and achievements.
✅ Truth: While external validation can be nice, real confidence is built from within—through self-belief and taking action.
