One of my managers asked me recently how I could still suffer from a lack of confidence after so long. Her point was something like this: that if I see however many fans showing support for me, giving me praise and saying that I’m good at what I do, then doesn’t that mean that I must be good? Wouldn’t I see that and have enough reason to be confident? My answer to her was no, not really. You might think it would be the case, but I’ve never been someone who can find positive validation from other people’s opinions.
