I was thinking of taking up Taekwondo….I’m not sure if that would help. But I’ve tried books and therapy and I’m better but not as good as I want to be. My confidence and self-esteem are still pretty shot. I find it hard to be myself and when I put my opinions out there some other people have theirs and it’s like they’re trying to defend them to the death and make me seem wrong.

O.k. what I mean is a trend over the past decade and a half where the word has almost come to represent a desirable outcome in of itself. For example all failings are summed up as lack of confidence and all achievements are seen as stemming from confidence. Which makes me ask what is the difference between that and defining all outcomes as having faith or lack of faith. What I’m saying is it seems to me that it over simplifies the complexity of life. For example if someone has a genetic makeup that allows him to play basketball at the level of Michael Jordan someone might say he’s good because he has confidence. And I’m just like of course he has confidence when playing basketball he’s a genetic marvel. This is just one of the situations in which I see the word used incorrectly. I think it’s become similar to the overuse of the word like. For example if you’re 6 ft 200lbs and a kung-fu master doesn’t it go without saying that you would destroy an un-armed, 1 armed midget in a fight? But you would still get someone who would come out and say the most confident fighter will win.
