I used to be confident when I was in elementary school. Other than that, I'm a 10-year pessimist struggling with depression. The only way I can get confident is if I'm focusing on something that I'm extremely interested in. These days, even that seems almost non-existent.

I'll also feel this is the case with me. It seems I've been fairly insecure all along.
I basically feel communicatively detached and cut off from relating to most people. I am fairly certain I have a form of Asperger's. This has made me a bit sullen over the years.
Still as I get older and regardless of situation, confidence is something that must be built. Art has been my main vehicle for expressing myself since kindergarten and I don't think I would've survived without it.
I am also in the process of accepting what I do and don't have and working with it. In the end, my confidence (or lack thereof) and overall pessimism has little bearing on my drive and willingness to overcome it and achieve my personal goals for a better life and perspective.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
