    All you have to do is take your time and learn by your mistakes. It takes a while to become competent in any job so don't be too hard on yourself.

    I posted this before in Work & Jobs, but I'll repost it here if that's ok

    I also had a similar problem - to the point where it was affecting my work and securing a new job.

    A recruitment agent sent me a Ted talk video, and I thought 'Yeah yeah, a video is going to help for sure :rolleyes:' but it did. I'm still not 100%, but one thing that was never even discussed in my new job was my lack of confidence - in fact when I mentioned I could be unsure or shy they all laughed assuming I was joking!

    The most important piece of knowledge I've ever acquired is that everybody is winging it, all the time. Everyone has doubts, everyone, and they're no different to you.

    Anyway, here's the video, give it a go
