Everyone's going to look foolish from time to time. Here's a secret: you can build self-esteem just as effectively from those times when you are wrong, because you come to realize that being wrong isn't the end of the world (literally, in the case of some of our theistic forum members). Being wrong is when we learn the quickest, as long as we recognize that we were wrong.
I agree with you completely a few years ago i had learned that which is why i was able to leave Christanity and become a rationalist

Read books that challenge you, learn some skills that make you happy, practice doing the things that you want to be better at.
When I feel like I am the most knowledgeable and competent person in the room, I feel like the most confident person in the room.
Thats why I have now started studying evolutionary theory,amongst other things.To challenge myself.
