practice
"Drop the urge to create self-confidence; instead, embrace your ordinariness and accept yourself as you are, for in this acceptance, true clarity and ease will naturally arise."
According to Osho, don’t try to create self‑confidence at all. The very urge is ego comparing itself with others. Drop comparison and the ambition to be extraordinary; simply accept yourself as you are. Be ordinary, uncontrived, like trees that don’t try to be each other. From such acceptance, a natural ease, clarity and right action arise—no fabricated confidence needed.
Stop trying to be special or like others; just be yourself, and a calm, natural okayness will appear.
