Clothes can make a big difference too. How you're dressed can make a big subconscious confidence boost.

I agree. I know some people can feel confident regardless how they’re dressed, but I’ve always needed to be dressed well in public to feel fully confident. I think it’s probably similar for other people who grew up in low income rural areas and live in cities now.

Yeah I'm in the exact same boat. Right after covid hit my company had us working from home for a couple months, and I realized pretty quickly that the whole sweatpants under the screen thing just plain didn't work for me. Like if I had a remotely important client meeting, even if it was just audio and no video, I had to get fully dressed up down to socks and shoes if I wanted to be at 100%. And from what I heard from other people thar definitely wasn't unique to me either.
