if ur born privileged the best advice is to “believe in urself” bc education, good communications skills, confidence, etc… are all “free” given the environment if not, then it’s likely bad advice bc wo cultural guardrails ur intuition is not so different than base instincts

it’s similar to when hiring managers want individuals to “be themselves” the neurotics will out their weaknesses while the privileged will pass with flying colors and a viscerally felt vibration of Earnestness

lack of confidence is almost always the bottleneck for everyone and imo is a personal endeavor try to increase it and u risk giving them an excuse to think w/e they want vice versa u risk creating depression
