My lack of self-confidence is holding me back from pursuing an acting career. Any advice for dealing with your inner critic?

In classes, I always feel like I’m the worst in the room. When I watch others act, I feel like they’re so much better than me. Sometimes I feel like I’ll never be capable of acting on screen. I even watch myself and believe that I am not attractive enough to...
