How To Be Confident
By Kayla Day from the movie Eight Grade (actually written by Bo Burnham)

One thing a lot of people think about confidence is that you are born with it...either you are confident, or you are not. You know, just like how some people are tall - you're either tall or you're short. But, it's not like that actually.

Confidence is a choice.

The really awesome thing about confidence is that you can just start acting like it, even if you feel like you don't have any. For example, I used to not be confident, at all. But then one day, I'm like, I wanna be confident. So then, I just kinda started acting like it, and then it made me feel good, and then I just actually started being confident without, like, trying.

And like, a big part of confidence is being brave. And you can't be brave, unless you are scared. So, for those of you are being scared about being confident, it's actually a big part go confidence, is to be scared and that's normal. Cos you can't be brave without being scared. So, go out there, and just like be confident. And if you don't feel confident, just do it anyways. Make yourself confident.
