Americans struggle with confidence everyday. That’s the takeaway from a CURAD poll.
What shakes us up? Being confronted with difficult situations like speaking in front of a large group (40-percent), not being properly prepared (34-percent) or starting a new job (28-percent). When it comes to awkward situations, trying a new dating app for the first time and being the last ones to walk into a meeting throw confidence the most.
The study found that Americans lose confidence about five times every single day. People admitted to faking confidence sometimes and it actually MADE them confident. If you need to actually gain confidence, the best ways to do it are adopting a positive mindset, gaining support from family and friends, being prepared for anything, working out and helping others.
