In HS when it came to most things you couldn't tell me nothing.

I wasn't the super ladies man tho I did have a gf, I was generally well liked, and I felt good about myself and my choices.

In the last few months (im 21 and I have a different gf) I second guess almost everything I think to do by myself and I feel like I've lost myself.

What to do?
What do you guys do when you feel unconfident?
How do I promote inner/self growth?
 
Try new hobbies or add new things to your daily routine. Example would be stretching for like 15 mins when you wake up or before you sleep.

When I'm feeling like **** I like to listen to music that fits my mood or watching a new TV Show/Anime/Movie/Comedy Special.

Changes everything. But on the real ride it out. As you ride it out, work-out, meditate, mack etc. Force the change though. I've suffered with my bouts of low confidence. Still happens from time to time. Simplify your life.

-exercise

-travel

-meet new people you normally wouldn't hang with

-set short term goals. sometimes we drown in our own thoughts and dont det anything done because we psych ourselves out. start small and continue to build. all about baby steps.
 
every morning, you should wake up an optimist, even if the sun ain't shining you gotta be positive.
 
same boat op. I should be flourishing, see girls looking at me all the time but naw I'm too much of a lil *****.

Same age as you man. There are lots of things you can do. It's all up to you to decide what you want to do most at that particular moment.

Read books
Listen to music
Play a sport or workout
Talk to family/friends
Go to work
Pursue new endeavors

Confidence just comes with time and enough attempts of trying to do better each time you try. I'm still bad at talking to girls and my game is really poor, but I tell myself that there are things about me that make me worth talking to, and so I keep trying anyway.

Tying your happiness to what other people say or like about you is not what inner worth is all about. It's not about having what society says is worth $X amount or being what society says you should be at whatever age you are. I think you just have to keep grinding away at whatever you can do your best at and being proud of yourself at the end of the day for trying.

It's up to you to decide how you want to think and what information you want to think about.

Your not born with confidence, you gain it.

Best advice is to go out there and make mistakes. More importantly learn from them. Enjoy making mistakes because deep down you know you can learn from it. Read self-improvement books. A page a day is better than nothing. Positive attitude is everything.

I got an interview for a position that is a semi-dream tomorrow. I got this girl I've been talking to from Tinder that keeps canceling on me. I got this other thick girl I just started talking to on OKcupid that thinks she's all that. I got another girl in real life that's mad that I don't pay her any mind.

All of this, yet i'm still confident I can make the best of all these situations. Even if it doesn't play out the way you wanted to you can still succeed by learning from it in the aftermath.

Being a man in this world is a cumulative experience. The experience builds off itself if you allow it to.

You gotta put in that work if you wanna be happy. The first step is always the hardest one.

Have faith in yourself. Your more than you think you are.

Act first and ask questions later. As long as it isn't immoral or illegal and you accept the outcome as a learning opportunity you will continue to grow.
 
Discipline yourself young breh! Eliminate the (-) and seek out the (+). Start off by Waking up tomorrow and make your bed the best you ever had.
 
Life sucks OP, happiness and smiling is overrated.
