Here’s how most people think about their lack of confidence:

" I’d be more confident if I hadn’t inherited my father’s indecisiveness…"

" If only I didn’t have such a neurotic personality, then I could be more confident…"

"If my mother had really loved me then I’d feel more confident and secure in my relationships…"
