For those who've struggled with self confidence but managed to improve it, what helped you? This could be something you learned in therapy or outside of therapy. I'm talking about self confidence rather than self esteem - - I actually quite like myself, I just don't feel capable of doing things.

My confidence has been knocked quite a lot, but my life has been really good for about five years now. And yet I still find myself too scared to do certain things. I'm scared to take risks because I feel like more aggressive people will just take over, the world doesn't want what I offer, and that my capacity to learn is nil.

Has anyone felt like this before? Looking for ideas, thoughts, discussion. Thanks.
