I don't think hacker news is the right place to be asking advice. After all, from what I can tell, the level of confidence among the people here is very high :)

I don't think hacker news is the right place to be asking advice. After all, from what I can tell, the level of confidence among the people here is very high :). My personal advice would be to get busy with something that doesn't involve college, like a web app or a game, and keep at it. I've found that seeing a project you've worked on all by yourself slowly come to life is a great confidence booster. If that doesn't help you, maybe you should look for professional help. Good luck man!
