Confidence

Confidence

 

The dictionary translates – belief in oneself and one’s powers or abilities.
 
This word translates a different concept if we talk programming and deprogramming, because confidence is an attribute that many programmed people just do not have, or it seems to have been taken away from them, and generally parents, friends, family, employment or just life in general seems to diminish their confidence, so how do you regain it, or if you think you have never had it, how do you get it?
 
Our life is split into the many characters that we portray, we are different personalities at work, home and just socializing, and the fact is that many of us are very confident around our family, because we are comfortable with these people, we can be ourselves and express our honest feelings, which is confidence.
 
Believing in yourself is just not enough to convince others, you have to structure the aura of energy to project this information, and you can feel the confidence that some people have, but there must be a balance, because you do not want to become overly confident because that is very off-putting, it projects a dark force of energy.

To enforce doubt in your confidence truly opens the doors for manipulated programming, because the doubt allows the victim to grow, and once the victim mentality dominates the self-assurance, you begin to believe you actually deserve all the challenges that come your way, you actually attract more of it.    
 
Does anyone or will anyone share where they believe their confidence was shattered or excelled, where do you feel confident? At work, sport, home?
 

 I do hope that everyone has the ‘confidence’ to actually reply to this…

Here is my reply...so I guess I am confident enough to answer it. LOL

Funny DT….

[DreamTime]

I try, AJ!

[Astrojewels]

I knew that this would bring no replies, I was even having a conversation with myself whilst writing it, and one voice was saying ‘why are you doing this’? and the other was saying ‘ummmm’….and being brutally frank people only want to learn about certain factors of programming and that I need to accept, I need to stop writing these things because it makes no sense to most.

AJ,

I hope you don't stop writing "these things".  The simple act of reading and processing the info is beneficial if you ask me.

I don't really know what I am confident on. I guess I am confident that I know how to crochet and am pretty good at it. Other than that, my confidence kind of wavers. I have always had low self-esteem, and I guess that goes hand in hand with the confidence thing.

No don't stop writing this stuff, it makes me think when I read them, even if I'm not confident enough to reply! (see what I did there? high 5s self)

Thanks and I just needed to hear that it is worthwhile, let me say that I do understand totally that most people do not want to talk about what they may consider a ‘weak point’ in the personality,  programming is not just about logistics, names, techniques and frequency to transform you into a so called puppet.

It is emotions and feelings, and especially how you judge yourself, and until you actually become aware of these emotions you will always be a target.

No one is completely 100% insecure, everyone has at least one area that they are confident in, like DT with her craft, thanks for your honesty DT.

I feel it's a matter of energy. In both cases: confidence and replying to posts, in general. Not only the energy contained in the topic, it can have good/great energy yet have no or few responses. It all comes down to whether readers have the energy to respond, both literally and emotionally. For example, I read this topic and think, "hmm, I don't want to waste others' time with my lack of confidence, poor self-image, insecurities, bad experiences...it's a concern of coming off as a complainer/whiner/loser....and there goes all my energy needed to respond...poof! It's like psyching oneself out of posting or participating. Or I'd rather not post/say anything because I'm not sure of how I feel, I'm ambivalent or confused.
I can honestly say, AJ, that I don't have confidence, as in being sure of myself, in any area of life. I love to paint - but not because I'm confident I can do it.
I see having confidence as a personality trait, some people have it, some don't.
