First steps to trusting and believing myself when no one does?

Question

Feels like with most things people think I can’t do anything on my own or at all. For example with driving. No one will teach me how to drive on the highway and then whenever I say to people I’m going to learn to do it they constantly tell me “you’re going to crash you can’t do it” and I’m 20 and am afraid to go on the highway. But most things are like that always afraid of what could go wrong and never looking at the positive side. That mentality has stopped me from a lot of things and I’m tired of it.

You fail by default when you don't try.

The first step is the hardest, actually getting yourself to actually try.

This problem is in your head, so I guess you have to get out of your head and into the real world where you are taking the first step mentioned above.

Your mind is tricking you, taking you off down all these different paths of reasons why you shouldn't or cannot try so you have to learn to recognise when you are bullshiting yourself and why you are doing that and instead of listening to your doubts, fears and procrastination instead just take that step.

I would start with self healing and love.

A simple but effective exercise is to clean your home, throw away things you no longer use or need, buy a shredder and feel the old you disappear, throw the bags of trash away, you can connect the visual and mental of removing a mentsl block.

You will feel lighter in step, clearer in mind.

First of all, those people really should learn how to shut up. I have driving traumas and honestly still cry driving sometimes but you know what? I got my license and everyone who has driven with me praises my driving. I struggled a lot and was often told that I just didn't have the "natural aptence" for it. Bit I was also told not to give up. I still struggle with self esteem sometimes but ultimately I'm very proud of myself for doing it.

You need to find something you're good at to build your confidence. Also, don't listen to or care about what other people think. Most people are idiots with their own problems.
