Do you have someone who believes in you?

I wish. That would be nice. I liked Coyote Ugly for the same reasons, a very inspiring film.

My ex wife was very apathetic and didn't do much for my confidence. She was very much a drain on my own positivity and confidence.

I would love to have somebody in my life who don't only made me feel loved and wanted, but drove me to do better and believed I could. Somebody that challenged me in a good way.

Only my grandmother. My parents have pretty much given up on me, and they're convinced that when I leave in a few months as I've been planning, I'll either die or come back crawling.

Very few if any. But as I've gotten older, I've become more of a believer so to speak with my own abilities to do what is needed. Sometimes there's nothing to big I can't handle.

It feels like it's just me :(.

And no you cannot truly success all on your own in life, it's a team effort. I guess getting a team to help me out is what I need :)

1st ( I adoooooooooore that movie and actually watched it in a movie theater I think it was year 2000 or 2001 maybe?! :D ).

2ndly nope, I didn't have someone to believe in me, heck I fought to prove that am not a lunatic :D :D :D

But I think it doesn't work the same for everyone right?

I mean some people needs the faith of other to be able to get through tough times or to have a future.

Others can work by the negative pressure by others and therefor he\she tries their best to prove them wrong, that they are correct.

just a thought.

By the way, how do you like the song "You can't fight the moon light" ? :-)

It'd be much more entertaining if he pushed her, she failed, and then spent the next few years hating him before her suicide at twenty-two...
... God, I'm a terrible person :/
In other news, I'm the type of person who trusts no one, so I probably do have people who believe in me who I simply don't acknowledge xD

I dunno, my family/friends would be there for me but it's not like I've needed encouragement or had to deal with anything that serious

I have had some help in my life but no one except an x girlfriend or two ever really believed in me. My parents thought I would be nothing. I believe in you by the way.

Yeah, it helps if I have at least somebody who believes in me. It's easier for me to do something when someone (sane) believes in me. It also helps if I have a few skeptics telling me I can't, or that I'm no good. Because then I have some spite to fuel me as well. It's a good combo.

As for who believes in me, my girlfriend. She supports me in a lot of the things I do, and in general, she's been a rock. She's made me feel safe and loved and supported, and she helps me in any way she can, with anything. I like that. There's no shortage of people ready to put me down, but they ultimately don't matter. They only matter enough for me to one day show them what they can suck. My girlfriend is the important part. She drives a lot of the things I do. She helps me get a stronger willpower than I would normally have without her (which is still pretty strong, anyway) and she amps it up to eleven.

If I went on about all the hardships and bad places I've been through, I'd go on for hours. If I went through all the things she helps with, I could take even longer. So forgive me if I'm not too terribly specific. Still. She helps me. She believes in me. She believes in me more than even my own parents or family. I am so thankful I have her, you have no idea.

In parting, I want to tell you, good on ya for watching Coyote Ugly. It was marketed as hot chicks on a bar with fire and rock, dance and stuff, but it ended up being a surprisingly sweet, and sappy movie that won even cynics like ME over. So good choice in watching that.

I believe in you sally. do you believe in me? :)

A few...but I've always been fighting for my own success and I always will be.

My parents

I don't, honestly. The people I know always put me down when I start to pursue a new interest. So I don't really tell them about those things until I have a finished product to show (like opening night at the theater or a finished manuscript) because all they do is doubt while something is a work in progress.

Luckily, I have enough confidence and belief in myself not to let others get to me.

Nah, I don't think so. It doesn't matter if anyone believes in me or not because I believe in myself and I know I can succeed if I work hard. It is easier and helpful when someone believes in you but people shouldn't lose faith in themselves if no one believes in them. The one's who din't believe in you may be wrong. Besides, they are just humans. Once you do succeed they'll wish they believed in you. Besides you can't wait around and see if people approve of your thoughts or not and then do the thing which you were planning to do based on people's approval.

Nobody believes in me, even myself...

My girlfriend believes in me and encourages me to do my best at everything

My mom believes in me and supports me.
