Why is it that the amount of my self confidence depents on the people im with?

We always have a tendency to compare ourselves with others. In the world of self esteem, that is a big no-no.

Also, try not to worry what others are thinking. They are thinking very little about you, and more about what you are thinking. They are thinking "wonder if hes thinking about me thinking anout him thinking about me. I think. "

Gotta love the good 'ol social anxiety.

not only that but, perhaps more importantly, even if they are thinking "that guy's an idiot" that still says nothing about you...
