This is the uncomfortable truth.

We'd all like to be judged by our objective value, but the problem is, it's really hard to measure it, so we have to use some kind of heuristics. One of the heuristics is self-confidence which is supposed to come naturally with skill.

So if you hide yourself from the world, don't be surprised that the world doesn't see you. If you want the world to see you, it is your responsibility to sell yourself, in order to inform and assure others of your value. The valueable ought to be louder than the conmen, in order for world to work properly.
