Inferiority complex and low confidence
I'm feeling very low and under confident. I'm not able to communicate with others. I always think about what others think about me. I always avoid talking because I feel others will laugh at me. Due to this fear I'm not able to perform well in college. I don't have college group also. I tried to remove my fear but I'm not able to do that. Negative thoughts always comes in my mind. I want to be confident and fearless. Please suggest what can I do for this?

Hi, I am sorry you are feeling this way. I am sure this is tough. Lack of self confidence is coming from your subconscious mind. It could be an incident where you didn’t feel loved or appreciated enough. It could also be feeling of inferiority. Once we work on these feelings in a safe space on a trance and release these subconscious emotions of not being enough, grief, shame and guilt, you’d feel better and be able to come out of the symptoms you are mentioning. You’re beautiful! Stay

Hi
You will have to work on feeling confident and being comfortable with yourself. You are always worried about what other people think about you. You can work on being happy with yourself and developing your own identity. Every individual is different and you can have your own personality. You can be yourself. You don’t have to be afraid you can have your own opinion. It is necessary to know what is causing lack of confidence.? What is making you feel afraid.? What is causing you to bother about what other people think? You will require counselling sessions. With a psychologist you can talk about your lifestyle, childhood, and relationship with family. It is important to remember that you can become confident and fearless and you will be able to communicate with people without being afraid.
Counselling sessions will help you.
Next Steps

Hi,
Confidence is a part of the things you need dear. I think before judging about your problem, I need to tell you, when we don't believe ourselves and our potential due to our experiences from childhood, our self-esteem will be decreased. Then we don't believe we are good enough and we can do good. Then instead of following our own way, just we care about others opinion... And our social life will be influenced.
Please contact with a psychologist/therapist to help you solve all the thoughts in your subconscious mind about you. You need a professional help to increase your self-esteem.
Please take care.

Hi.. I believe you are exposed to a high level of social or peer group atmosphere at your college and this is making you concerned about your own social skills, confidence, public speaking, etc.
We are pushed to learn new skills when we are exposed to or challenged by an environment that's not familiar to us. But at the same time we adjust and we grow. This particular challenge in your life is going to make you a better and more competent person, but you have to first accept yourself as you are, may be an introverted person and then learn the necessary skills to better adjust in your social situation and bring your own natural personality in the forefront.
Psychotherapy/Counselling can help you to identify your core issues and may help you deal with them more effectively.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
Interpersonal Guidance and Counselling is required.
