How do you guys deal with confidence. My confidence has hit an all time low, and it's killing me I did pretty good last semester, I've made lots of friends and picked up a sport and did extremely well at it (I got several compliments from everybody). However, this semester, I've been doing terrible at the sport, and it's such a shitty feeling. I feel like the friends I've made, have been avoiding me because of this; and on top of this, my crush has been avoiding/rejecting me too. It just seems like everything is stacked against me, I'm a short dude, and it's so fucking hard to appear confident/cool. I don't have too many friends, and when the ones that I have avoid me, it hurts like hell. I think I just really need some kind of validation at the moment, and I hate that I do.
