Getting my confidence

Yes, it is true. I have gained a remarkable amount of confidence here within the last week or two and have used it to my fullest. I'm not really afraid to stand in front of a room and talk now. I walk up to strangers and strike up a conversation with out even a second thought. I just feel like I'm doing so much better and I cant help but be glad that I took the initiative and began to push myself into public initiations.
