**INTRODUCTION**

Everyone desires to be confident, yet very few have been able to 
develop it in all facets of their life. A lack of self-confidence can 
ultimately become the most significant hindrance to finding 
happiness, success, and fulfillment. 


Unfortunately, too many people often are unable to see the 
effects low self-confidence has on their lives, blaming their 
failures on outside factors instead. They blame a tough dating 
scene for not finding the right partner.

They are desperate to find a better job but don't know where to 
start because the job market is so competitive. They wish they 
could follow their dreams but can't afford to fail. On the surface, 
these kinds of excuses seem like they are legitimate outside 
barriers, keeping us from finding true happiness. 


However, when further examined, the justifications are all rooted 
in a lack of self-confidence. Past experiences have helped to 
develop your current mindset, and the past unknowingly plagues
us as we grow into adults. 

As adults, we often waste a ton of energy attempting to appear 
confident rather than developing real confidence.The importance society puts on outside appearances only reinforces the pressure 
to show false confidence. 

This is just intensified with the popularity of reality television and 
social media. It has become the norm for our society to appear 
one way to everyone else, rather than focusing on making the 
changes internally that will allow us to alter our sense of self. 

For example, many people will post photoshopped images to their 
social media profiles in the hope of garnering a ton of likes to help 
increase their shaky self-esteem. Hence, the façade of confidence 
trumps genuine, unwavering confidence.
