Identifying and recognizing what we are afraid of, is an important first step in learning and understanding how to build confidence, and also for overcoming low self esteem.
Fears That Make People Less Confident
What kind of fears make people less confident?Fear of:- Embarrassment
(eg: public speaking fear) - Rejection
(eg: fear of asking someone out)- Criticism
(eg: fear of speaking out our opinion)- Failure
(eg: fear of trying new things) to name a few.
Fears like these usually originate, and gain ground, from our perception of how other people would react at us - based on our past experiences or our imagination - leading us to being shy when not necessary. And not only do they erode our self confidence, but worse, sometimes these dreaded feelings escalate into anxiety attacks as well.

How To Gain Confidence
The key to building self confidence is to FACE the underlying fear. And practice doing that, until you MASTER the fear. Then, as we slowly gain belief in ourselves, it is only a matter of time before the lack of self confidence becomes a matter of past.
How about those fears that may not have anything to do with other people?For instance, fear of failure could arise when we set tangible or intangible goals for ourselves, and start to evaluate our self worth based on our progress in achieving these goals. Tying our self worth to such goals could point to a low self esteem, which always leads to lack of self confidence as well.
