Building Confidence at University

Building Confidence at University

Confidence is not something you either have or you do not — it is something you build, one small step at a time.

Start with small wins

Speak up once in a seminar. Introduce yourself to someone new in a lecture. Send that email to your tutor. Each time you do something that feels slightly uncomfortable, your comfort zone expands.

Stop comparing yourself

Everyone is figuring things out — even the people who look like they have it all sorted. Social media is a highlight reel. Focus on your own progress and celebrate the steps you are taking.
