    It could be. Many have done it for lack of belief in themselves.

    but surely it takes a lot of confidence to commit suicide ?

    So you're saying it's better to have confidence in yourself?

    after some consideration about if your just being a troll or your reaching out for help...

    think about this
    what do you recognise as confidence shared by
    a confident poor actor
    and
    a confident rich politician

    Let me translate this and then address it.

    "After considering if you're just being a troll or if you're really reaching out for help I'd like you to think about this. What does the confidence of a confident poor actor and a confident rich politician have in common?".

    The answer is that confidence is not what distinguishes them. You might perceive (and you might be right) that the rich politician is insincere and/or shallow and that the poor actor may just be confidence in his acting skills.

    Their confidence is not what distinguishes them however. It's their sincerity or possible insincerity.

    Confidence (not over confidence and not under-confidence) is a healthy trait.
    Being shallow or insincere is not a healthy trait.

    Doubt of self is a negative approach, doubt of evil is a double negative and factors out.

    is it good and normal to doubt yourself when your getting in the car to drive the family away on holiday among fast busy traffic ?

    what would confidence be if it replaced this "doubt" ?

    is it good and normal to feel self doubt before you go shopping at the mall for a new item of clothing to wear out to party's and clubs ?

    what would confidence be if it replaced this "doubt" ?

    if i never doubt myself, how do i know im right ? maybe i just think im right and my sense of self confidence is actually ignorant arrogance and people just agree with me because they think im an idiot and dont want to have any serious conversations with me ?

    is it normal and good for feel self doubt before you go up to a hot guy in a club to ask him if he wants to have sex with you ?
    what would confidence be if this self doubt was replaced with it ?

    Just a natural attribute. Can increase/decrease, depending on how your brain is working.

    natural like handedness ?

    how would you describe the actions showing confidence by a poor actor ?
    then show in words
    the actions you would identify as observable evidence of confidence by a rich politician.

    fyi
    i am well aware you are measuring your words trying not give anything away
    that aside

    try it as a game

    confident poor actor(usa social and political culture)
    vs
    confident rich politician(usa social and political culture)

    the point i am seeking to engage you on is the social cultural construct around wealth that is assigned toward being a symbol of confidence and the inherent materialistic association of "confidence" as being an exterior attribute to the inner self of the human...
    and the false reality that many claim to know and understand by asserting "confidence" as some type of personality attribute.

    many people believe they can tel a confident person
    this makes them very susceptible to being fooled
    they fool themselves by making themselves a willing victim to scams by defining themselves as knowing what confidence is.

    i am not asking you to stand naked in the thread.
    just asking your opinion

    soo...
    you do not wish to discuss the subject...
    thats ok
    your just video blogging-spam n copy copy n spam copyspam spampaste ?

    i like spam-byte-pasting
    to a thread instead.

    i was prepared to get quite involved in the subject.
    however you show you do not wish to discuss it.

    we all have our heroin

    you are offering a solution to a problem you say you have
    offering someone elses advice without commenting or critiquing it

    as far as mental health advice is concerned, thats a bit rough n ready and de-personalised.

    if it helps you stay on the straight and narrow then all good.

    you have become an advertising agent for the video you have posted as you have not offered any critiquing of it.
    your making a religious post
    like a sermon
    making sermons to people with a mental health crisis is like inviting children to play in the traffic.
