Self-confidence emerges from a positive towards life. Self-compassion is one of the ways to feel good about oneself and thus to develop that optimistic approach. Self-critical, shameful, and less self-compassionate individuals lack this tendency. However, practicing compassion helps them build confidence by altering their negative mental processing and bringing huge benefits such as strengthening mental health and physical well-being.
