Confidence. (challenge?)

Can I make a challenge?
I'd like to hear about your confidence issues or what you image it feels like to have no confidence (ie the definition of me). Deadline on hhhmmm... Friday?

Make sure you tag me in the comments and put in a #confidence
Good luck lets get our issues off our chests!:)

I'll trade
Have any?
Too much
Or too many.
Just a little
That's all.
Make me feel
Less small.
Stand straight
Be proud.
Have a voice
Be loud.
Many chances
I'd seize.
Opportunities
Yes please.
Don't judge
Me being,
The unconfidence
You're seeing.
Pacing around
Tapping fingers,
Not knowing what
My future lingers.
Make me
Less scared.
This lifestyle
Can't be bared.
Less awkward
I dream.
Socialising?
I scream.
Hug me
All night.
So I'd feel
Alright.
Just let me
Be you.
That's all you
Can do.
My problems
You see,
I hate
Being me.

See, I suffer from terrible confidence issues (as some of you may have guessed) which stops me from living. I hate talking to people, because I'm scared or saying the wrong thing and making myself look like an idiot. I'm ruining my education because I have no confidence. If I'm told my work is good I tell myself they're lying and that they're just saying that to take pity on me. I know it's not necessarily true but I just can't accept the fact that I'm good at anything. Likewise if I have a little confidence in something I start comparing myself to others and I'm back at square 1. I seriously think they should make confidence issues a mental disorder because it ruins your life, makes you want to isolate yourself and its not easy to cure as there's normally a story as to why you're unconfident just like depression...
I guess mines just that I've never wanted to boast about anything so I go from one extreme to the other...

Just some naive teenage girl writing poems with no confidence... O_o Ed sheeran, the hunger games, all time low, the midnight beast and other stuff is basically my life. Ps I'm sorry I'm not good at being sociable. :)

Where Am I?

Where is that cheerful guy I used to know. I look in the mirror and it's like I don't even recognize myself. I look so down and tired, I don't see that guy that was so happy so long ago.
