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.
