Thecuy, pernahkah kamu bimbang akan kemampuanmu sendiri? Kamu tidaklah sendirian! Banyak orang di luar sana yang pernah merasakan hal ini. Keraguan ini biasanya muncul terutama saat seseorang menghadapi perubahan, mencoba tantangan baru, atau merasakan tekanan dari lingkungan sekitar.
It isn’t easy to admit. Feelings of doubt are often kept to oneself so as not to show vulnerability. If you find yourself doubting yourself, here are some signs you need to recognise in order to overcome them.
1. Revisiting Decisions Already Made

You have made a decision after careful consideration. However, shortly after making it, you still doubt whether it was the right choice. According to Cottonwood Psychology, if you keep weighing a decision that already makes sense, the doubt is rooted more in self‑uncertainty than in new information.
2. Frequently Saying Sorry

Doubt can be felt. However, an unhealthy feeling of doubt is marked among other things by a tendency to keep apologising continuously, especially when you haven’t done anything wrong, as reported by Talkspace.
3. Thinking Others Are Superior to You

When you have to do something but you don’t feel confident, then doubt can be felt. This is because the perception that you yourself feels less credible from the start.
4. Preferring to Stay Behind the Scenes

People who doubt themselves are also characterised by a desire to always be behind the scenes. Psychologists Thomas Gilovich, Victoria Husted Medvec, and Kenneth Savitsky coined the term “spotlight effect” which explains that someone who doubts himself lives a more limited and less meaningful life than he could have.
5. Remaining Doubt Even When Prepared

Thorough preparation is indeed essential. However, for those who tend to doubt themselves, preparation will never feel enough. The American Psychological Association (APA) in its research explains that this case is caused by a lack of overall self‑confidence, not just a single form of discomfort.
