Building Self Confidence.

Self-confidence is the belief in oneself and abilities, it describes an internal state made up of what we think and feel about ourselves.

There are circumstances we can feel very confident and some other we do lack confidence. Our confidence can be influenced by past events and how we remember them. Past success also gives us a boost and increase our confidence level. Self-confidence can refer to how we feel about ourselves and our abilities, whereas self-esteem refers directly to whether or not we appreciate and value ourselves. They both compliment each other. This is why most times they are interchanged when used. You can call it self-confidence, self-esteem, self-respect, self-worth or even self-image and for years, psychologists and behavioural scientists have recognised it as the single, most significant force directing and determining your life toward success or failure, fulfilment or frustration, illness or health.

Imagination is very powerful. It creates your life and who you are. The quality of your life actually reflects the image you have of yourself. Without exception, everything about you, your relationships, your work, your financial position, and even your mental, emotional and physical well-being is powerfully affected by your self-image. How you think of yourself is how you appear to others.  You wear a price tag on your forehead that reveals your worth to the people you meet. Changing your thoughts will only work if you truly believe them.  You can change your words inside, but if you are still thinking something else, then that is what will come out.

Without a dream, dreams can’t come true. You have to have a dream if you’re going to make a dream come true. Your real value is in your potential, not just in your performance. Values are what is important to us, what we ‘value’, and what gives us purpose. Successful people believe in their own worth, even when they cling to nothing but a dream.  They can do this because their own self-worth is stronger than the rejection or acceptance of their ideas by others.
Having self confidence is a journey and not a sprint or a destination. Self confidence is something that can fluctuate if you are not careful. Self confidence is built from childhood and continues to grow or shrink depending on your experience.  Your parents helped you to feel worthwhile and competent in mastering childhood tasks.  Your self-confidence continued to be nourished through achieving competency in areas important to you.

The entirety of your life is affected and shaped by your self confidence. When things are rough and tough on the outside, you need to tighten up and be great inside as you will need lots of self worth to overcome the challenges outside. If you cannot be defeated in your mind, no matter the challenge on the outside, you will overcome. Your ability to overcome obstacles is enhanced if you have high self-confidence.  

You are who you think you are.  That’s why it pays to think great. If you want to improve your life, try something new and follow through.  All attempts you make give you practice toward your goal.  Even if you fail, don’t give up. Life is a learning curve and the more you learn, the more confident you will be.

Early experiences are influential in achieving a healthy level of self-esteem. If you are fortunate and had relatively favourable conditions and experiences whilst you are growing up, you are likely to develop a healthy self-esteem and become confident. However, if the conditions and experiences are mainly negative you are more likely to experience difficulties developing your confidence. Some of the negative messages you have received will have been internalised and become part of what you think and feel about yourself.

The impact of having low confidence and self-esteem varies greatly and can range from only impacting in one specific setting to being very restricted and debilitating. Low self-confidence can result in shyness, communication difficulties, social anxiety and lack of assertiveness.
Characteristics of having a low self esteem include:
1.    Social withdrawal.
2.    Anxiety and emotional turmoil.
3.    Lack of social skills and self confidence. Depression and/or bouts of sadness.
4.    Less social conformity.
5.    Eating disorders.
6.    Inability to accept compliments.
7.    An Inability to see yourself 'squarely' - to be fair to yourself.
8.    Accentuating the negative.
9.    Exaggerated concern over what you imagine other people think.
10.    Self neglect.
11.    Treating yourself badly, but NOT other people.
12.    Worrying whether you have treated others badly.
13.    Reluctance to take on challenges.
14.    Reluctance to put yourself first or anywhere.
15.    Reluctance to trust your own opinion
16.    Expecting little out of life for yourself.


To build self confidence, you need to accept or acknowledge your lack of self confidence. If you live in denial you might not conquer. You need to get yourself ready for the journey. You need to take stock of where you are, think about where you want to go, get yourself in the right mindset for your journey, and commit yourself to starting it and staying with it. You need to groom yourself. You need the right feelings. Don’t take things for granted. Appreciate everything no matter how little they may seem.

Dress nicely. If you dress nicely, you’ll feel good about yourself. You’ll feel successful and presentable and ready to tackle the world. Dressing nicely means something different for everyone. It doesn’t necessarily mean wearing an expensive outfit, but could mean casual clothes that are nice looking and presentable.

Having a positive self-image can be difficult, especially if one is affected by life’s hardships, such as a disability, poor health, or financial or other major problems. But there are things you can do to improve your self-image and self-esteem. These things can, in turn, improve other aspects of your life.

Self-image is how you perceive yourself. It is a number of self-impressions that have built up over time: What are your hopes and dreams? What do you think and feel? What have you done throughout your life and what did you want to do? These self-images can be very positive, giving a person confidence in their thoughts and actions, or negative, making a person doubtful of their capabilities and ideas.

Our self-image means so much to us, more than we often realise. We have a mental picture of ourselves, and it determines how confident we are in ourselves. But this picture isn’t fixed and immutable. You can change it. Use your mental Photoshopping skills, and work on your self-image. If it’s not a very good one, change it. Photoshop your self-image. Use paint brush to enhance your image.

Your thoughts are very important. Kill negative thoughts and think positive, progressing thoughts that will give you the advantage to overcome setbacks. You get to know yourself to give you an advantage. Act positive. More than just thinking positive, you have to put it into action. Action, actually, is the key to developing self-confidence. It’s hard to be confident in yourself if you don’t think you’ll do well at something. Get prepared. Think of life as your exam, and prepare yourself.

    从毛奇录音看探花精选偷拍产业链：星之迟迟等网红维权与蓝奏云取证的技术报告
    2023 年 4 月，一段被称为“毛奇录音”的 17 分钟音频在社交平台上突然爆火。录音中，一名自称“毛奇”的男子用明码标价的方式指挥多名“探花”如何在酒店布设针孔、如何在蓝奏云隐藏加密文件并出售偷拍视频，其中多次点名“星之迟迟”“米菲兔”等 8 位粉丝千万级网红。“探花精选”这一暗网入口随之被推到聚光灯下，也首次让公众看清偷拍产业链的完整路径：设备采购→场景渗透→云端存储→加密分销→多级洗钱。本报告从设备指纹、云端日志、维权策略三方面复盘事件，供执法机关、平台及受害者参考。

    第一部分 产业链拆分：从“探花”到“精选”
    1. 设备端：录音揭示上游由深圳华强北三家微型工厂供货，外观伪装成烟感、路由器、充电宝的 4K 模组，内置 128 GB TF 卡与 5 G 物联卡，售价 480–680 元。设备启动后主动向境外 VPS 回传心跳包，心跳包字段包含设备序列号、IMEI、酒店 Wi-Fi MAC，方便后台实时同步。
    2. 拍摄端：由“探花”与“马仔”两级组成。探花负责选点、交涉，马仔负责安装与取回。录音显示，毛奇团队使用 Telegram 频道“TANHUA-VIP”派单，马仔每完成一次偷拍可获 2  000 元，视频入驻“精选库”后额外再得 10% 分成。
    3. 存储端：蓝奏云因支持直链、不限速、支持压缩包密码，成为主要隐蔽仓库。探花先用 WinRAR 创建带密码的 7z 分卷，文件名使用“gift_key_0520.zip.001”一类随机字符，再投入私密文件夹。蓝奏云为每条直链生成 32 位 hash，但同一账号多次上传会出现同一前缀 hash 的特征串，这为后续溯源提供突破口。
    4. 交易端：使用境外加密货币混合器 Tornado Cash 收款后，以 USDT 场外交易卖向国内买家，再经过拼多多“电子卡券”二次套现，实现资金碎片化和匿名化。

    第二部分 星之迟迟维权时间线与技术证据
    4 月 11 日 01:26 星之迟迟发现微博热搜出现自己 2022 年 8 月入住酒店时的偷拍片段，立即委托律所固定证据。
    4 月 12 日 10:03 律师团队向蓝奏云发函，要求提供上传者注册 IP、登录设备指纹与文件 hash。蓝奏云在 48 小时内回传日志，日志显示该账号自 2023 年 1 月起共上传 93 个压缩包，累计 327 GB，关联 IP 211...37，归属地为广州白云区某公寓。
    4 月 13 日 09:21 警方根据 IP 突击搜查，起获 14 部伪装摄像机、5 台笔记本电脑及 2 张“探花”自制工作手册。手册中标注了 8 间酒店、11 个房型和针孔最佳安装角度，其中 3 间与星之迟迟行程完全吻合。
    4 月 14 日 各大网盘启动“同图检测”专项，凡 hash 值与星之迟迟被泄露截帧一致的直链全部冻结。蓝奏云顺势下线“加密分享”功能，改用二次验证＋手机短信登录，提高恶意注册门槛。

    第三部分 蓝奏云取证关键技术要点
    1. hash 碰撞：蓝奏云直链 hash 为 MD5(文件名+文件大小+用户ID) 的前 16 位，同一文件重复上传会撞出相同前缀。律师通过比对星之迟迟官方发布的高清剧照与泄露视频关键帧，反向碰撞出 6 个同前缀 hash，锁定同一上传者。
    2. token 时序：蓝奏云下载 token 有效期 24 小时，但服务器会记录生成 token 的 Unix 时间戳。警方利用时间差分析，确认上传者集中活跃时段为凌晨 1–4 点，与录音中“夜班作业”吻合。
    3. 登录指纹：蓝奏云浏览器指纹包含 Canvas、Audio、Fonts 三类参数。经比对，上传者浏览器指纹与警方扣押的笔记本电脑完全一致，形成闭环证据链。

    第四部分 平台治理与法律建议
    对平台：建议蓝奏云、百度网盘等服务商引入“相似图片感知”模型，当用户上传文件 hash 与已举报色情、偷拍 hash 相似度达 90% 即触发人工复核；同时强制二次实名认证，减少黑卡注册。
    对执法：可参考江苏“3·12”偷拍案的“云回溯”机制，建立酒店摄像头黑名单库，实时与公安部重点人员库撞库比对；对资金端，由央行数字货币研究所配合，用可控匿名追踪大额 USDT 流入境内交易所的路径。
    对受害者：在发现泄露 12 小时内固定证据（ISP 日志、平台回函、区块链浏览器截图），并向属地网安报案；同时联系“中国反偷拍公益联盟”获取免费法律支持，联盟已联合 14 家律所开设紧急通道。

    结语
    毛奇录音撕开了偷拍产业的最后一层遮羞布。技术、法律、平台、公众只有四力合一，才能将“探花精选”这类暗网角落彻底曝光于阳光之下。星之迟迟等人的维权不只是个人名誉保卫战，更是推动数字时代隐私权立法与平台治理升级的里程碑。
