Do you lack self confidence although that you are successful?
How you reached a good position in your job, career or life but still sometimes you don’t feel that confident in some situations?

If your answers were yes, then most probably you don’t know about self confidence fields.

self confidence fields

One major characteristic of self confidence is that it’s not generalized, you can be confident in one field yet lack confidence in another one, for example you could be a famous athlete with much faith in your ability to win a race yet you fear public speaking. That’s why in spite of having great achievements at one filed still you may find that you are lacking confidence in another one.

Examples of self confidence fields

The problem of self confidence fields is that they may not be that visible to you, what is meant by not visible in here is that you may feel that you are lacking self confidence at some place or situation without finding a possible reason, your problem here is very simple, you are just looking at a different confidence field that suits another situation other than the one you are in, take a look to those examples in order to better understand this:

• someone who have got a self image problem, he thinks that he is looking ugly, and one while he was doing a presentation he feels so anxious and terrified, at the time of the presentation he starts to use logic to find why is he feeling bad but he fails. Unfortunately in that case his self image problem unconsciously affected his performance; he was unconsciously worried more about what people are going to think of his looks more than he was worried about his presentation. So, he was checking the incorrect confidence field at that case
• another example is when someone is very good In using electronic devices, yet he Is not that good when dealing with computers, most probably that person wont feel that confident while using a computer compared to using another device like a mobile
• someone who is very successful at his career yet he have poor social relations, that person may feel overconfident while at work but when it comes to social gatherings he will feel much less confident compared to other social oriented people, those people may even be total failures in their careers or lives but what’s important in that situation is social self confidence and nothing else.

Those were few examples to clarify the idea, you could think of thousands of other examples but what’s important is that you get the main idea, it does not matter how much successful you are in one field; it’s the situation specific confidence field that matters.

ok, how to improve my self confidence at any situation then??

Most of us fall in the same big mistake; we think that if we were confident in using computers then we are computer guys, that idea is not correct, simply because you think in terms of what you currently posses and not in terms of the abilities that made you reach that level of knowledge. For example if you have learned how to use computers alone, then you may be persistent, fast learner and intelligent.

So if you were down the street in a social situation and then thought that you are good at using computers this wont make you feel confident, however if you thought of yourself in the same situation as a persistent ,fast learner and intelligent person, most probably you will feel much more confident. Although you did nothing new, you just looked at the abilities instead of what you are possessing, this technique is called discounting your achievements to your abilities.
