Are you waiting for someone to come along and make you feel confident, or valuable, or important? You'll wait a long time. You are the creator of your experience. Your value and your importance are givens. No one can confer these upon you, because --- how can they give you what you already have?
As for confidence, if you can move beyond doubting your value and importance, you will make progress. See yourself as confident; assume the posture and deep breathing of a confident person; and act as if you deserve what you want. Confidence can be cultivated.
As for those moments of fear, feel the fear and be that powerless person you think you are for a few minutes. Let the emotion move through you. When the emotion wanes, tell yourself the truth and pivot yourself into confident feelings. This is who you really are!
