Hello everyone...

_{[There's a pause, as he hesitates.]}

I-I was only wondering about something... I-it's nothing really important, just...

_{[another pause.]}

...Is there any way to gain more confidence...?

<sub>[Preferably some other way than being told that he needs to believe in himself or be more open.

Since that doesn't help much and as you can see he still suffers from lack of confidence.]</sub>

[Sigh. He's been trying to help you with this, Ruca! Granted... yelling at him tends to not work so let's try something else this time.]

What helps me is doing stuff I'm good at, like puzzles. What are you good at, Ruca?

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Yelling at him is the worst thing you can do. but he appreciates that you try to help him.]}

Um... I'm only good at studying...

[cynicisms]

[He's just staring at the screen flat-faced, and then he leans in, peering at him.]

First off, stop stuttering!

[He places a hand on his hip, and shakes his head a little bit.]

Anyway, it is important if you're going to put it up on here, so don't act like it isn't, or else no one will take you seriously.

[demonicbookworm]

R-right...

_{[oops. He's stuttering again. But he can't stop himself form doing that!]}

But you're right... you're right...

_{[But that isn't helping all that much.]}

[seablaze]

I can give ya some liquid courage.

[Alcohol!] Or a kick in the rear if that's your preference, bucko.

[demonicbookworm]

Huh?

_{[bad feelings.]}

Liquid... courage?

[chainsmoke_king]

A couple drinks usually helps.

[demonicbookworm]

_{[he's too young to drink!]}

...Anything else?

[toreadorkabull]

You just have to, uh... find something to call your confidence, even if it's a fakey fake thing. The more you believe something to be true, it more it becomes a little less fraudulent.

-=sage advice=-

[demonicbookworm]

So I just should... fool myself?

_{[this isn't going to work.]}

[bestestfurrend]

There are lots and lots of ways! Believing in yourself is a very good start - and doing the things you're good at and that you enjoy!

[demonicbookworm]

But... I'm only good at studying...

_{[And that's probably the only thing he is confident about]}

[video]

[adoptedalien]

Confidence, huh?

I think the best thing I could say is, well, just remember that if you have a little faith in yourself, and in your friends, that courage can make miracles happen, turn 1 percent into 100 percent, and everything will work out on the end.

I know it's not saying much, hearing me say it, but.... I know from experience. It can be hard.

[video]

[demonicbookworm]

It is difficult... I believe in my friends, but... I don't have much faith in myself.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

Well... The more you do something, the more sure you get about doing it, right? And you don't have to do things by yourself the first time.

[Video]

[demonicbookworm]

I guess you're right... but I can't ask for everyone's help all the time, can I?

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

How about singing in front of people? That's a great way of gain confidence./ I eman after all if you can do that what can't you do.

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Sing... in front of people?? He would be so nervous he wouldn't be able to do it!]}

N-no... I-I don't think I could do that...

[crabbygenius]

Interested in gaining more confidence hm? I'd suggest starting with something you're good at and work from there.

[demonicbookworm]

Some people said that too... I'm only good at studying though.

Is there anything else I should do?

[Voice]

[relinquishing]

[Now here's a question he thought he'd never see! Good job, Ruca, you get ten points for effort in self-improvement!]

Well, let's see. You said you're learning to become a doctor, aren't you?

[Voice]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Ah, thank you. He thought it's about time to ask that question.]}

Yes. I really want to be a doctor in the future...

[dontsaymyname]

You need more confidence?

[ Barry seems far too amused for his own good. ]

Why could someone as cute as you need a boost in confidence?

[demonicbookworm]

<sub>[No, Barry, no. He is no cute, so stop saying that!!

BLUSH.]</sub>

I'm not-- _{[a sigh. No, never mind that.]} Everyone say that I should believe in myself more...

[runbysmiles]

[ Sora smiled, but not in a way that would have looked as if he was teasing. ]

You want to be more confident? I guess going to the Golden Door isn't helping huh?

[demonicbookworm]

I can't think of anything that would help.

_{[That's why he is asking for help.]}
