I still judge and criticise myself on many points and I don't see it as anything bad, it's just what helps me feel good about myself. For instance, when my hair looked bad, I said to myself, "you have a bad hairstyle", and I went and got it cut and then I looked much better and got many compliments from people about it and that made me feel better about it, it gave me confidence.
Thats self-judging that did me a world of good! To contrast the superficiality of that example I'll offer a second; I knew too well that I was too shy and quiet and that I was wasting time being hung up about making a fool of myself- I changed that when I started at Community College and knew that with a fresh start I could reassess myself and reinvent myself to my fullest potential. I took risks, yes, but I'm a lot happier for it. I've made more friends than I ever thought I'd have and they're all lovely people who make me smile.

Somehow i have dected a certain pattern on this post by Danny and some others by him:
You talk about youthful confidence, but then very often you seem to remind others about your youthfulness/age in the content of some what you post. Isn' that the very sign of a certain lack of confidence in yourself, like to say before every sentence ''Hey I can get away with many a mistake, even though I know where I am going wrong, just because I am young, therefore my own silliness is justified, even though it really isn't in this case''?
Don't take that as mean criticism, just a direct observation from someone who is generally confident in himself for real.
