Does confidence feel like a fragile artifact, easily shattered by the slightest touch of doubt or failure?

Confidence Feels Like a Delicate Relic How Do You Protect Yours?

Lately, I’ve noticed how quickly confidence can crumble, like an ancient artifact handled without care. One moment it’s solid, unshakable then a single setback or offhand comment leaves it in pieces. Maybe it’s the perfectionist in me, but I’m curious: how do you keep yours intact?

I spend a lot of time digging for truffles (the fungal kind, not the chocolate), and there’s a weird parallel. You hunt for something valuable, but the second you doubt your instincts, the trail goes cold. Do you just learn to trust yourself more over time, or are there little tricks to shore it up when doubt creeps in? Would love to hear how others handle this.
