The thing to realize is that you're causing these issues in your own mind, which means you're free to not cause them.

Meditation might help, making a distinction between you and your mind allows externalizing and observing the mind in action.

Once you have managed that, consider giving retrospectives a shot. Simply walk through whatever situation you want to learn from backwards (starting with most recent events help) in your mind as an observer.

The problem with confidence is that it's a side effect of knowing and trusting yourself, and that takes real world experience.

Thank you ! I have started meditating recently, it has helped me calm down my nerves in these situations.

I think this is one of the problems for me. I don't trust myself enough and start feeling like my knowledge is lacking which creates a negative feedback loop.
