8. I still have trouble with this

As far as work goes I think its a double edged sword, I am a supervisor to many people and I have my share of angry finger pointers. Their accusations, which are usually about how they would do things differently. (usually something that makes life easier for them at the expense of others.) I have a supervisor above me who thinks I do a really good job and tells me constantly, so it makes the grumps easier to deal with. That part is a great confidence builder.

I have people I trust irl and on the internet and they help me with my confidence. They may disagree with me but they are kind about it, I trust them and it doesn't feel bad to have someone say "I disagree, I think you're wrong".

I get a big boost at home as well.
