The Confidence Trick...

Many people have tried to understand my lack of confidence; I explain it thus:-

Every time I have felt confident about something, it has usually gone wrong.  For example, the attempt to become a sperm donor - I had a letter yesterday saying that the geneticists had reviewed all my results, including the non genetic tests and information, to say that although I had no serious genetic disorders that could be carried, they felt that I would be an unsuitable donor and therefore they had to decline my application.

And people expect me to try and be positive.
