    Well if you doubt it then yes you will probably never be confident....

    I always think when I am attempting something, 'what is the worst that could happen'. I think as long as its not death then thats okay. Even if you show yourself up (think Take That and pink pants here) you are only gonna be a five minute wonder till someone else makes a bigger tit of themself...

    Life is for living not for just getting by. We might not have any money but it doesn't mean we have to give up.:confused:

    Feel the fear and do it anyway!:T

    You're right, and to be honest I think I may be slowly improving. A combination of you lot and the kids at school are responsible me thinks :D

    My knees are still protesting at any attempts to do anything remotely running-like. I think I may need to lose some weight and try again :o

    Spud I hope one day you will have full blown confidence...Im hoping one day I will too...

    Id love to be one of those people who walk into a room who is confident and doesn't hide in the corner hoping the ground will open up. I always worry about what people think and that im not good enough.

    I used to be like that Sal,till I worked for BA. I think sticking a uniform on allows you to psychologically "hide" behind it. Did wonders in the long run though, I don't care what folk think of me now-I know I'm ok, as do my friends, and thats all that matters..
    Debt-free...and staying that way...

    I still have occasions like that, but I am getting better, its a combination of having to now and not really giving a stuff anymore what people think.

    I really do hate the telephone with a passion though.

    I just try to blend into the background and not get noticed. I alwas wear muted colours, mostly black, just because I want to blend in :o
