Question list : What makes you confident?

Hello,

Do you miss something in life? Do you need more to make you feel completed?
Are you fighting for challenges, Succes, A relationship, social status, ego, abillities, good looking features, talents or special gifts?

What would make you feel completed, where you wanna be? And why does it make you better from who you are now? :) This is a question that I ask, because we should accept the situation we are in and of course keep fighting for the ambitions or wishes you are willing to find. But, never forget, you should realize what is good in the presence.

Questions:
1.What would complete you? (pick from the list above and describe why?)
2.What makes you confident?
3.What is the key of succes for you? (describe what a succesfull living means for you)
4.Do you feel that a relationship makes you feel a lot better cuz you have someone around?
5.Do you find yourself good looking?
6.No? Describe the features you DO like. Yes, what do you like?
7.What is a real challenge for you, you would like to experience?
8.What is your biggest wish?
9.Do you think SA is cureable?
10.Does SA stop you from reaching goals?
11.Do you have a talent?
12.Do you think you have the abillity to overcome SA?
13.Do you feel confidental sometimes?
14.Do you compare yourself to other people?
15.Are you proud after a small / major victory?
16.What are you doing to overcome SA? (therapy,self help reads)
17.What are you proud of, in the presence?
18.What is your small victory this week? (related to SA)
Greetings:)

2.What makes you confident? Good sleep; travel
3.What is the key of succes for you? Healthy, content

5.Do you find yourself good looking? No, I look old and haggard
6.No? Describe the features you DO like. Yes, what do you like? There really is nothing that I like anymore

I like your question lists too. :) They are always quite interesting.

1.What would complete you? Hm... I'm not really sure actually. There's so many things I want and strive for (Like getting over anxiety, working my way to being happy and accepting myself, actually getting a boyfriend, etc.), I think I'd only be complete if I accomplished them all.
2.What makes you confident? Wearing new clothes makes me confident for a little while. Getting my hair done and wearing makeup works too, but of course the confidence only lasts so long.
3.What is the key of success for you? Hmm... Being healthy and happy I suppose?
4.Do you feel that a relationship makes you feel a lot better cuz you have someone around? I have never been in a relationship and I believe I would feel a little bit better if I was in one.
5.Do you find yourself good looking? Not a bit.
6.No? Describe the features you DO like. Yes, what do you like? My eyes. That's basically it.
7.What is a real challenge for you, you would like to experience? I'm not sure...
8.What is your biggest wish? That within the next year or so I am truly happy.
9.Do you think SA is cureable? I don't think it's curable 100%, but I think you can get to the point where you can manage quite well.
10.Does SA stop you from reaching goals? Yes and no. I won't let it stop me from reaching my future goals. But it has stopped me in the past from certain mini goals like, I want to talk to this person, or get to know them, I want to try something new, but I'm too afraid, etc.
11.Do you have a talent? Yeah, actually more than one. I hate to sound like I'm bragging, I'm just glad I'm good at more than one thing.
12.Do you think you have the ability to overcome SA? Yes. It might take me a while, but I believe I can do it as long as I have patience.
13.Do you feel confidental sometimes? You mean confident? Very rarely do I ever. When I do though, I embrace it.
14.Do you compare yourself to other people? Yeah. I shouldn't, I know. Sometimes it's like I can't help it.
15.Are you proud after a small / major victory? Eh, depends on the victoy. Sometimes I am, sometimes not.
16.What are you doing to overcome SA? Right now, nothing. But I plan to get counseling this fall/winter when I go to college.
17.What are you proud of, in the presence? Hm... Idk?
18.What is your small victory this week? I made gluten-free brownies yesterday that taste somewhat normal... Still need to work on it though.

1.What would complete you? Self-acceptance, (plastic surgery on my hands if it was available. haha)
2.What makes you confident? Feeling that I look okay/nice, exercise
3.What is the key of succes for you? Doing things in line with my goals, reaching some of my goals, healthy social interactions
4.Do you feel that a relationship makes you feel a lot better cuz you have someone around? Yes, but it's not always a good idea for me. If I'm in a depression, I get really attached and when something goes wrong (like an argument), I panic and get even more depressed. It's so bad.
5.Do you find yourself good looking? For the most part. There's really only one feature I would change about myself.
6.No? Describe the features you DO like. Yes, what do you like? Everything except my hands. I wish I was a little taller too, but eh, whatever.
7.What is a real challenge for you, you would like to experience? A great social life, traveling the country or the world.
9.Do you think SA is cureable? I do. Because I've read stories of people who have become "cured". But it's certainly not easy.
10.Does SA stop you from reaching goals? Yes, all the time.
11.Do you have a talent? I play three musical instruments (not as well as I'd like to though)..... I'm sure there are other things but can't think of them :p
12.Do you think you have the abillity to overcome SA? Hmm. Yes, I think so. I've already come a LONG way.... I didn't even realize it until I joined this site. Compared to some, I'm really well-off and I probably should keep my complaining to a minimum. I wish I could help others get to where I am. Of course, I DO still have many social anxiety issues that hamper me.
13.Do you feel confidental sometimes? You mean confident? Yes, I do. Sometimes.
14.Do you compare yourself to other people? All the time.... *sigh* I really need to stop that.
15.Are you proud after a small / major victory? Yes :) But of course, the negative thoughts then kick in and tell me that it was nothing, and how sad for me that THAT constitutes a victory. It's so sad what our minds do to us.
16.What are you doing to overcome SA? Push, push, push. I push myself. And therapy/meds.
17.What are you proud of, in the presence? Staying on task with schoolwork, and getting my butt up and starting to run.
18.What is your small victory this week? (related to SA) Ummmm, I don't have one, actually. Besides sort of not caring what people think in certain situations.

1.What would complete you? (pick from the list above and describe why?) Firstly, just feeling good about myself. And on a consistent basis. Not wavering so much on that from external things.
2.What makes you confident? I've never felt that I have beauty on my side to help me feel confident. So, at times, when I've been able to show my knowledge about something, and show it well, it makes me feel good for a little bit. But that doesn't happen lately.
3.What is the key of succes for you? (describe what a succesfull living means for you) I'd think it would be just feeling content regularly. Feeling good enough that I can recognize all the good around more regularly. And with all that, being productive.
4.Do you feel that a relationship makes you feel a lot better cuz you have someone around? Not really, no. I'm comfortable with being alone. Maybe that's not the best thing to be comfortable with, but that's how it is. From my experience, being with someone, or having someone like me, usually makes me feel more insecure. :\ However that works.
5.Do you find yourself good looking? Not conventionally... not to me, really.
6.No? Describe the features you DO like. Yes, what do you like? I like my hair sometimes. My lips. mah booty (body in general, I've never had too big a problem with).
7.What is a real challenge for you, you would like to experience? Being who I am while around people, and just anyone.
8.What is your biggest wish? To accomplish some nice things in my life
9.Do you think SA is cureable? I'm not sure.
10.Does SA stop you from reaching goals? My general anxiety, and other stuff certainly has.
11.Do you have a talent? Hmmm. Really nothing that I would call a talent.
12.Do you think you have the abillity to overcome SA? Yes.
13.Do you feel confidental sometimes? Sometimes. Moments that don't stay too long.
14.Do you compare yourself to other people? Yes
15.Are you proud after a small / major victory? Hmm. If I can recognize it, yes.
16.What are you doing to overcome SA? (therapy,self help reads) Not just SA, but other stuffs. Umm, therapy, might be trying some meds.
17.What are you proud of, in the presence? I am pretty proud of who I am. Just not so pleased that I can't seem to project that outwardly too often.
18.What is your small victory this week? I've been starting to fix my bad sleep pattern.
