So l'll be talking about a problem that alot of people are facting, or maybe not alot or maybe l'm just saying that because.......well l dunno know, anyway that problem is Self Confidence, u know when you're for example like having a presentation and all of a sudden you forgot your lines and u goo like "aaaaaaaaa wellll you seee...." or when you're in a exam doing great and there' s this one question that gets u thinking like" which one god damn it", and ofcourse there's the part when you're talking to a beautiful young lady which probably goes something like thhis " aaaaaa yeah aaaaaa" and you dunno what to say or u're voice goes low and u look down on the floor dunno what to say, and lets not forget the part when like u two sitting not talking and there's no discussion opened or anything which ofcourse leads to awkward, Yep thats me but there's something that l'm really good at....Gaming, seriously when it comes to games l forget everything and just play, forget everything and just play , l'm pretty sure that happens to all of us, anyway when l play Games l have this confidence telling me " come on you can do it" l know it sounds funny but its true even when it sounds rediculous, l mean this confidence gave me the courage to beat Dead Space 2 on Hardcore mode (for all of you people who never played Dead Space 2 before, Hardcore mode is the hardest difficulty and u're able to save game 3 times only and there is no checkpoint, so to sum things up if u die u'll start from the saving point).

But at the end all l have to say is if you want to be good at something, u need to show it some courage, fath, u need to show it that you're willing to do what it takes and that you're ready for anything, l'm trying my best to do that, and l hope l succeed, thats all l have to say, if you have anything you would like to share plz leave a commont. Later ;D

i know i'm late to the blog (and thanks for the follow) but i really like your link between games and confidence! the trick is to realizing that you CAN do it if you put your mind to it, and apply some of your gaming confidence to the real world.

I used to be a very shy person but as I got older it just got easier and I realised that people aren't looking at me and judging me. They just don't care! It's very liberating doing stuff by yourself like the cinema or the pub. Ironically playing games may have lowered my confidence as getting online I realise that overall I suck at BF3 :P

Ah, yes I must be the master ninja of low confidence. I've always been this way, but it's gotten worse and worse as I get older...I can only be me, the real me, with people I know VERY well. My shyness is like crippling but i don't know what to do about it :/

for me, self confidence comes from knowing you know what you're doing or know what you're talking about. I used to have regular presentations at work, and I always felt panicked right before I started, but once I got going, it was easy - a lesson I learned about public speaking I often use to this day is: remember why you are there. If you're there to convince someone of something, then focus on that, and not the eyes on you or the people staring at you - focus on your task at hand and it'll come more easily.
