It is possible to lose confidence especially when there are repeated failures, criticism and living in a toxic environment. It slips away slightly and it will be replaced by doubt in most cases. Our self-confidence disappears when our expectations are not met or when we try to compare ourselves with others most of the time. That can erode confidence and make us lose confidence in ourselves. When we are exhausted emotionally, lacks support or betrayed by someone, it can also take away our inner strength too.

I lost mine when I was rejected by friends and family for a long time. It really broke me but I am trying to rebuild myself by setting small achievable goals and it's working.

My own went away when I was constantly comparing myself to other people, especially those on the internet. Now, I attempt to concentrate more on realities and I have experienced some victories since I started to think that way..
