Understanding and Overcoming Social Anxiety: Attachment, Exposure, and Confidence
Being Well with Forrest Hanson and Dr. Rick Hanson

Confidence does not automatically stem from being skilled in a particular area. Many individuals, even high-level professionals, struggle with self-confidence despite their expertise. The tendency to evaluate one's abilities against peers can create anxiety rather than assurance, as the benchmarks for comparison continually shift.

It is essential to examine and challenge these existing models of behavior and understanding to foster a more accurate perspective on confidence.
