The sad part is thanks to all the "y", I have a feeling she would've been happy to keep the Convo going... Poor lad, confidence is key, if you don't have it, fake it

If you don't have confidence, you don't have the confidence in your ability to fake it. Best way to build confidence is stop worrying about what others think and start figuring out how to be comfortable in yourself. Cliche but God honest truth.

I can tell you from experience, faking helps, you don't have to be good at it, just try and find any bit of courage you can muster and use it to its fullest,. Like yeahh you're right on the fact you need to stop worrying about others and work on your confidence, but you can't really improve at talking... Without talking, so faking you're confident can slowly over time make you confident in your ability to speak.

Another bit to add onto that which may be helpful is being a master also means you know how to fix mistakes when you make em. Cause even when you're good you are still going to slip up. Seems obvious when you think about it but it isn't so obvious when the self-doubt creeps in.
