Q-“So are you brave, or do you find this quite easy?”
A- “Both. I think I am brave, and because I am brave, I find everything that I do quite easy.”
@1:07
Damn, I wish I had that girls’ confidence.
Being brave requires confidence, so I guess really what she is saying is if you have confidence in yourself, everything you do in life becomes easier, which I kind of agree with. When I HAD the confidence, I never thought of how difficult things were to accomplish to do. I just did it bc I “knew” I could do it and never worried about what ifs or any of that.
I have no idea who this lady is. Apparently she was a Hooters girl but is now a very successful comedian based on the title.
But anyhow, the point is what she said at the 1:07 mark. Not talking about anything else in the video bc I’ve only watched 1min lol.
Yeah, I guess the secret to life is just being confident. When you’re confidence, you’re not miserable and mulling all the doubts and what ifs and all the doom scenarios in your head of things that could go wrong. When you’re confident, you just say, ok, I have to do this this and that and it’ll happen. And your brain is too busy thinking of the things you must do rather than your brain wasting space and time thinking about everything that could possibly go wrong and then you delay or not do anything to move forward bc you’re too afraid/not confident in yourself.
Well *knowing* that confidence is key does me no good if I can’t GET it back. I’ve known confidence was the key for a long time. I’ve lost it about 15 years ago and haven’t been able to get it back. The irony is that the only way to get confidence is by doing, but if you’re not confident, you’re not going to do what it is you need to do. Catch 22 right there.
Like I need to be brave and just fucking expat to a new country. But the real worries are there bc I am not able-bodied or healthy anymore, so it’s not easy to “just do it.” I have trouble just getting groceries from a few blocks away let alone fly to a foreign 3rd world country and survive and manage everything well.

Just take a look at the people on SP. Do many of you lack confidence? Overall confidence, not just in specific areas. I’m super confident when it comes to academics but not so much with other things. I would wager many of us on SP lack enough confidence, which then contributes greatly to our depression.
