Like many, I’m not a fan of, and I have little patience for, excuses. A person who is full of excuses or always ready to give an excuse is clearly someone in my opinion who lacks self-confidence. Confident people don’t make excuses – they take on the responsibility and hold themselves accountable.
So, what are excuses? Two most common types of excuses are the excuses we t…
One of the most visited/read of my blog posts is the post called: Stop Thinking About What Other People Are Thinking. I open the post by saying that if you worry about what other people think of you…it’s a sure sign you lack self-confidence. The post goes on to give people things to consider in order to stop worrying about what other people are thinking of them, while they work on developing…
Did you know the Loop of Confidence was on Youtube? I started the channel over a year ago – I posted a few videos but did not keep up with it. Well, that’s changing!! The plan is to post one video a week, but more importantly, I want to use the channel to be able to answer YOUR questions about self-confidence and self-confidence development.

Martin Luther King, Jr. did not make excuses for the way things were but rather…
Ever heard of learned helplessness? It’s very similar to the process of losing your self-confidence; the way it happens is that after a series of attempts at something and constant failures at it – you stop trying even if the situation has changed, and the door for success has opened. It’s the feeling that nothing you do or try will make a difference, so why bother. You lose your motivation…
A few semesters ago I took a sociology class called “Current Social Problems” – it was quite an eye opening class. The discussions on the social construct of current social problems and on violence against women were particularly interesting…I’ll be explaining why in a second. An article on the Bryn Mawr website made me think of that class because of some of the comments made in t…
My focus thus far with The Loop of Confidence has been on adult confidence development. My intentions are to create a program to teach parents how to help their children develop self-confidence but it’s an undertaking I haven’t fully gotten involved in. I’ve mostly been doing research on the topic but a few events and conversations are guiding me to write this post and share som…
