Re:Ask HN: Becoming more confident? on Friday January 16, 2015 @06:27PM (#8902467)
Hey, I know how it feels. I'm generally much more confident that I used to be, but I definitely have gone through stages of shyness that have lasted for a while. Im a 27 yr olds designer/ developer/massive code geek.

For me, what really really helped and now I can't get past 2 or 3 days without doing it is exercise..

I'm not sure if you include exercise in your weekly routine but seriously man.. it saved me. I started with cardio circuits purely for a mental boost, and energy spark and it sorted me right out. After a while I became more confident in myself and then moved on to weights an it really helps!!

Good luck.
