Always tell the truth. read Robert Coram’s biography of Col John Boyd. Pay attention to what he says about Be or Do

Be humble.

Stoic journaling is an excellent practice.

Set goals for yourself, plan execute and celebrate them.

Meditation is invaluable.

Confidence comes from within. Spend time there every day

Education is not an event in a time or place, it’s a never ending process. Learning how to learn and how you learn Best is invaluable.

Leadership begins with leading yourself.

You have to first assess why you lack "inner confidence." Is it because you say dumb shit? Then learn more general knowledge. Or is it because you care too much about the way ppl judge you? Then you need to develop an "I don't give a fuck" attitude. Perhaps it's because of your body self-image? Then the gym would help. Or is it general shyness? Then force yourself to engage ppl for brief chats.

Remember, you first need to know what's wrong with something to provide a viable and effective solution.

Go master something to be proud of.

Confidence is the result of successes. So become successful in something you love.

It doesn’t matter what.

Find three things to become good at: A primary skill that you can be better at than 85% of people and two secondary skills that you can do better than 50% of people.

That will help you in confidence - when you're better than the majority of people at something it will naturally boost your confidence. Also the act of figuring out how to become *really* good at something is a valuable skill itself.

Leverage your time in the army - utilize any downtime you have to level up, instead of wasting your time chasing women.

Being an anti-army person myself, this advice I can give.

You are VERY young.

You have a lot to learn, and a lot of wisdom to acquire. Accept that and relax.

Live each day the best you can, and be assured that if you can get your sanity straight to your 30's, you will see life from a complete different perspective.

I've been there (19 yo) and I also felt that the everything is humongous, and that i was a little clog in the grand scheme of things.

That is just a question of perspective. You are the grand scheme of things, and the rest is just a little clog. With time you will get to that conclusion. Until you really realise that, you will suffer a lot. Man up and take that suffering.

All the best.

If the military can't make you more confident I am not sure what can. Even just being a child of the military tends to bring that out of you. What aren't you confident about?
