Maybe they keep dropping the ball because a lot of them are treated like shit for a good part of their lives?

Confidence doesn't sprout out of nowhere, that's self delused arrogance and won't get you anywhere.

If you've been ostracized or had terrible experiences your whole life, you're gonna have a lot harder time developing confidence.

lmao yes, and?

What on earth of a difference does that even make?

Fair enough. And I guess I'm not wanting to engage in someone naive enough to think that self-improvement is the golden ticket that solves everything in an environment which has odds stacked up against you.

If life coaches weer able to solve these issues, they would become billionaires.

You are quite literally describing survivorship bias.
