Why does my confidence do this?!?

Question

When I'm at home I boost my confidence level a lot, say to myself that I can handle whatever at school, but when I actually get there, my confidence drops. I try to keep it up from home, but I don't know why this happens.

Does anyone have any tips for me?

Thanks everyone :]

I sometimes do the same thing. It's different when you're at home vs when you're at school. When you're at home, you're alone (or with friends/family) and when you're at school, you're around a lot of people, many of them strangers. I think some of my lack of self-confidence comes from the fact that I never know what anyone is going to do. No matter how many times I think I know what they will do, or how they will react, the majority of the time they do something completely different or things go different from how I plan them in my mind.

Here are a couple of sites that might help you:
