Yep, confidence is everything in life, but it needs fuel - success fuels one's confidence. well, at least thats the way i see it. and failure on the other hand, decreases one's level of confidence. That is why it is very dangerous to fall down that pit and get stuck in this vicious circle. The best way to get back up on your feet, is to start with little things and and make sure to take note of them.
I seem to get along better with women too... well I don't have many girl friends but I am generally less anxious around them because I know I can just talk illogical bullsh1t and they go along with that, plus they seem less threatening
that sounds quite strange to me... because i see it exactly the other way around. i think that women are more judgmental than men.
everyone dies, but not everyone lives...
