Newby here, desperate for some advice

[JRuss]

I feel like a loser having so little confidence!

So what are you doing to fix this?

Asking advice here, reading it, reading all of the linked articles I've been given here, and trying to implement it all. Also just trying to GAL and start feeling better about myself, which I have to figure will help with confidence.

OK. Thats a start.

Do you have a plan about how to actually implement it?

It's easy to TRY. But what does that actually mean as far as what you will DO?

I know it's already a long thread, but my immediate short-term GAL checklist is a few pages back. That and trying to learn as much as I can and glean as much insight as I can here and in the linked materials is pretty much my immediate focus.
