How often do you experience self-doubt in your daily life?

Question

NathanDavis · Accepted Answer

self-doubt as at is... I really don't experience it anymore, not ever since a long long while ago, when I was way way younger

I of course, experience doubt... also experience uncertainty, and even hesitation sometimes but not self-doubt

sometimes... I just don't simply know or don't understand enough, or I am facing something I have no experience with yet, and few things are just incredibly difficult and you might not even have control over them in the first place... but these do not lead me to a place in which I doubt myself, no... I just need more time to deal with some things, and a key part of that is to acknowledge the lack of knowledge, certainty and experience... so I prefer to try and do that confidently but not placing self-doubt within me...

Consistently, infact it overlaps almost indefinitely. I say almost because we all need to sleep at some point. Its the first and last thought for my mind on a daily basis, since I have existed. I doubt myself so much sometimes I will have to try really hard to have a conversation, a conversation for me will require immense attention at all times. I've spent my entire life never knowing if I made the right choice or how well I might be doing. Or might not be doing. My existence has been an endless typhoon of doubt, that I doubt has an end, although I could be wrong

Maybe 30% of the time, and only during times where I’m navigating a new experience where I don’t know what I’m doing. But I’m confident that I’ll figure it out because everyone has to start somewhere.

Daily life? not often. I am often task oriented.  sure I am not perfect but I just fix and move on.

Everyday, every passing moment.
In my early life I never got external approvals or validation. I lived without getting heard for 20 years of my life and now I crave it.
I might do something really good and but I don't care much about it until someone acknowledges it.
Even if they do it feels so fucking fake to me that I genuinely get into questioning " am I good, am I doing good for myself"
Which created that self doubting personality.
I mostly afraid of being wrong and wronged with.
Only in a classroom you can find the real me for some moments.

Funny story I have become so depressed and desperate , that I ignore people talking good about me in front because I imagine they saying bad stuff behind my back.
My cousin tried to tell me that I am kinda of hero back home but I don't value that respect because I had to earn my way through it.

Very seldom. Self doubt is an occupational hazard for me. I'd rather live with the consequences of a bad decision than sit paralyzed pondering "what if" while an opportunity recedes into the past.

Virtually never. Self doubt comes from fear of failure. Failure comes from not meeting goals. And you cannot fail if you never have a goal.👍💯

Tarifa · Answer

Not in daily life, I wouldn't be able to function. But there have been spells where everything seemed to go uphill. Maybe it's good, or even a necessity, to stop and reflect upon things.

Iron_Man · Answer

When things are out of your control and you’re waiting for a decision sometimes insecurities kick in and they make you think things. I like to be in situations where I have control where I can control my own destiny.

exitseven · Answer

I think that not making a decision is also a decision so if I feel self doubt, I think about that.

Not often, only when I'm putting too much pressure on myself.  It usually goes away
