Weird-ass question, I know. But let me 'splain.
I've had problems with low self-esteem and general feelings of "I'm not good enough" for several years. It's something that I'm well aware of and something that I rather dislike about myself. However, it's also something that I have no idea how to change or if I can even change it at all (part of me thinks it's because of a shunt malfunction from 10 years ago).
So how does one get past such a thing? The reason why I ask is because my group has our big final presentation in my capstone class next week and I did a practice run of my portion of the presentation in front of my parents tonight. They told me that everything was really good, which surprised me because I didn't think I did that well, but I still have this lingering "I can't do this. I'm going to mess up again" feeling.
So, yeah, how does one become more confident and less self-esteem-is-in-the-toilet-again?
