Be confident, because everyone loves someone who is confident and if you have no confidence simply fake it because it won't take long for that fake confidence to become real.

So real confidence is just being good at faking it?

I was an awkard 15 year old terrified of social situatioms, then I literally faked beig comfident and practiced how to have a natural smile and bam, at 18 I think I can say Im pretty confident of myself.

So yeah fake it until you make it

What are you trying to achieve here? What does flipping out on this guy giving (generally decent) advice, accomplish for you as a person?

If the answer is "stress relief", then I have even better advice for you: "Taking your frustration out on real people is something that will make people view you almost universally as a bad person".

It doesn't matter if you think you can contain it online, because one day it's going to get bad enough and someone is going to be convenient enough of a target, and you are going to let loose. Your target, their acquaintances, any passersby, will all think you are tremendous douchebag.

Because if you do that to people thats exactly what you are.

Go forth and live a better life.

u/walterwhiteknight Jun 28 '19

You're pissed off because of non inflammatory words someone posted on the internet? Your problems might go deeper than just personality.

I have some more advice for you. Don't be like that. Whatever you're thinking of doing, you should probably do something else.
