2 Everyday Habits That Destroy Your Confidence

Can being too nice actually hurt your confidence?
In this video, I unpack two common, everyday habits that seem polite but could be secretly lowering your self-worth and making others see you as less confident:
1. Over-apologizing: how “sorry” and similar words keep shrinking your voice
2. Dismissing compliments: why brushing off compliments trains your brain to ignore your wins
These might seem small, but they add up, changing how you feel about yourself and how others respond to you.
You’ll learn:
• Why words like “sorry” and “no worries” can shrink your presence
• How deflecting praise weakens your self-image
• Simple swaps and mindset shifts to speak with more confidence (without being arrogant)
✨ Bonus: Stay till the end for the real-life story that inspired this video… when someone at the bank said: “Nice people aren’t confident.” Let’s break that myth, together.
🎯 If you’ve ever thought:
• “Why don’t I feel confident even when I’m doing well?”
• “How do I stop over-apologizing?”
• “Why can’t I accept a compliment without feeling cringy?”
Whether you’re a high achiever, a people-pleaser, or just someone who struggles to own their impact, this one’s for you!
