Great post! There were many points that reminded me of a lecture series I attended at a Kadampa Buddhism centre recently. The series was entitled 'How to Get Over Oneself', and a large part of it focused on the non-existence of the Self in the first place, i.e. the fact that even the 'me' that starts this sentence is not the same one that ends it. That realisation helps a great deal in overcoming self-cherishing behaviour, which self-shame and self-hatred are part of.

Starting 30 Day Confidence Challenge Today
- Where in the world are you from? Complicated question. Short answer: from Australia living in Europe. - Why have you joined this 30 day challenge (what do you hope to achieve)? I want to become more confident because confidence -- and honesty -- are the traits I most admire in other people. - What is your biggest social challenge right now? Interacting with people I don't know very well.

Day 4 Update: as yesterday's challenge, I chose the action 'make eye contact and smile at a stranger you walk past on the street'. I thought the action was going to be too easy, but you know what? It was kind of challenging! In the process, I had the revelation that I really am a People Pleaser. I didn't realise until too late that one of the people I smiled at was someone trying to get passersby to sign up to some daily donation pledge. Ugh. Totally took advantage of the smile, and it took me 10 minutes to extract myself from the situation. I feel like a more confident me would have still smiled, said 'look, I'm not interested, but I wish you the best' and moved on. I got better at the challenge though! The last person I smiled at was a hot young postal worker, and when I got a very nice smile in return, it gave me a genuine boost of happiness. :)

Hi guys! My name is Dana. I live in Italy and work remotely for a start-up company in the research/academic sector. I am joining after taking Dan's Udemy course on building rapport. I had a very unusual childhood (moving around constantly with no sense of a hometown or even a home country, then starting university several years early), which resulted in a lot of social anxiety. Over the past year, I had weekly therapy through BetterHelp, which helped immensely. I've also found taking up boxing to have really improved my anxiety. Besides these things, I try to meditate daily, and I've also found a lot of good insights from a book called Anxiety RX. Highly recommend it. Meanwhile, building deeper friendships recently has helped me to feel more grounded. My main goal here is to increase my confidence because, while I've made a lot of progress, I feel like I'm still not reaching my full potential. I want to stop feeling awkward in certain social situations, to stop overthinking my interactions and to be more present for my friends and family.
