Can you share a funny self - confidence story?

One element is a moment of self - doubt that gets overcome. For example, like in my story about the job interview, feeling not confident about appearance but then finding a reason to be confident. Another is unexpected sources of confidence. Such as the little girl's smile in that story. And of course, a positive outcome. Like getting the job or having a great time like in the dance - off story.

Sure. There was a thick girl named Lily. She used to be self - conscious about her body. But one day, she participated in a body - positive campaign. There, she met many people who praised her unique beauty. She started to embrace her curves and even became a model for plus - size clothing, inspiring other thick girls to be confident too.

Sure. One story is about J.K. Rowling. When she first started writing the Harry Potter series, she was a single mother on welfare. But she had confidence in her story. She sent her manuscript to many publishers who rejected it at first. However, she didn't lose confidence. Eventually, Bloomsbury took a chance on her, and now Harry Potter is a global phenomenon.

Sure. There was a girl named Lily. She was always shy about her singing. But one day, her school held a talent show. She decided to participate. She practiced hard every day. When she stepped on the stage, she felt very nervous at first. But then she remembered all the practice and how much she loved singing. She started to sing with confidence. The audience was captivated by her performance and gave her a standing ovation. This experience greatly boosted her self - confidence.

Once there was a young boy in a small village in India. He was very shy and lacked self - confidence. One day, his school announced a talent show. All his friends were participating but he was hesitant. His mother noticed his dilemma and told him a story of a sparrow that was afraid to fly but when it finally took the leap, it soared high. Inspired, the boy decided to participate in the show. He practiced hard and on the day of the show, he performed with great confidence and won the first prize. This boosted his self - confidence and he became a more outgoing person.

Well, here's my story. I was in a hurry to self - wax my eyebrows. I didn't read the instructions carefully. I put on way too much wax. When I went to pull it off, it took not only the unwanted hairs but also some of the hairs that were supposed to be there. I ended up with really thin and uneven eyebrows for a while. It was so funny and I learned my lesson about reading instructions.

There was this one time at a camping trip. One of the campers had a self taser. He was trying to scare away a small raccoon that was getting too close to the food. But he misjudged the distance and ended up tasing himself instead. His yelp scared the raccoon away even better than the taser would have. Everyone around couldn't stop laughing, and he was just blushing while rubbing his arm where he got tased.

There was a guy who was always very short but he had great self - confidence. He entered a basketball tournament and everyone underestimated him at first. But with his confidence, he managed to outwit his opponents with his smart passes and quick thinking, and his team won in the end. It shows that self - confidence can make up for physical disadvantages.

Sure. I was at a self - defense class and we were learning about tasers. I was being overconfident and decided to show everyone how easy it was to handle. But as I was holding it, my finger slipped on the trigger and I tasered myself right in the hand. My hand jerked up and everyone in the class had a good laugh. It was so embarrassing.

Well, once I decided to do a self - bikini wax at home. I got all the supplies ready, but as soon as I started, I was so nervous that my hands were shaking. I accidentally applied the wax in the wrong direction and when I tried to pull it off, it barely came off and it hurt like crazy. I ended up having to use a lot of oil to get the rest of the wax off. It was a total mess but looking back, it's quite funny.
