Self-Doubting VS Self-Confidence...

This is an issue I also feel very strongly about. In my opinion, there is nothing worse than someone who is talented at something and cannot see it, or feel good about the fact that they are good at it.

I'll give an example.

There are a few women in my art class who are INCREDIBLE at painting! I am talking AMAZING. There is one in particular who has one of the best artistic styles I have ever seen. She does a killer job at every painting. But she is never happy. She constantly puts herself down and underplays her abilities. I really hate it.

There is another woman who I LOVE and who is really amazing at painting. She knows she's pretty good, and she talks about her strengths and weaknesses frankly, without self-loathing. I appreciate it about her. She knows what she's good at and she knows what she needs to work on, but she always allows herself to enjoy her accomplishments.

I tend to be seen as overly-confident if I'm on any side of the scale. I think I'm good at a lot of things, and I enjoy doing them and sharing them with others. Why not live life, and enjoy living it and being good at living it? Otherwise, it's no longer fun.

Thoughts???
