Right now. Because real confidence has nothing to do with that loud, arrogant energy you see on social media.

Or maybe the internship email started with “We regret to inform you…” Your stomach dropped. You felt that hot, embarrassing flush. Maybe you even cried in the library bathroom. Been there, sis.
