We all do it at one point or another. We make assumptions about ourselves which are unhealthy, causing us to become less confident or be unable to reach a higher level of self-esteem. Whether you compare yourself unfavorably with other people or you have an outlook that your life is a big struggle that you are unsure of how to deal with.

Oftentimes, we make unhelpful assumptions about ourselves or the different areas in our life by associating our confidence or the lack of it to certain things. For instance, some people say that the reason why they are not confident is because they are overweight when this is not actually true. All people, regardless of their weight or size, can have confidence. It is just a matter of having a positive mindset about yourself. There are some people who also make unhealthy assumptions about confidence being associated with having money or being rich, being physically attractive or having many friends.

Having or making unhelpful assumptions could not only lower your level of confidence, but possibly affect your overall personality. They could also affect the way you make decisions and the way you react to new challenges and experiences, potentially holding you back from reaching your full potential.

To become more confident, you should try to avoid making assumptions about yourself and in the way your life is or should be. Instead, you should focus on the facts and the truths about who you are. You should also acknowledge your skills and abilities and use them to reach your goals in life. Lastly, you need to be more positive in everything you do, especially when you come across challenges. Once you do these, you should be able to notice that you are becoming more confident in who you are and what you can do, helping you become the best person you can be.
