R' Gershon Liebman Zatzal was always practicing no fear of people. In his formative years in the Yeshiva in Bialystok he ran away from Kavod, and from receiving recognition from people. He was so seasoned in “fearlessness” during peacetime, that by the time WWII broke out, the Nazis didn’t scare him. He was able to accomplish amazing feats, like building a Yeshiva in the ghetto
And when you have faith in a person, he does much more for you. Of course, this is why Bitachon in Hashem is so powerful. Those who believe more in Hashem, get much more Nissim and Yeshuos. As long as you’re working on removing depressive, nervous, & fearful thoughts, then Hashem will help you.
And most vital, is how you view yourself! Your whole success depends how much Chashivus you give to yourself, and to the power of your Torah, your Tefila, and your Ma'asim Tovim.

If a person is a “Shafel (lowly) type”, he needs to hold a Velt of himself to the extreme, and even his smallest desire to improve has to be respected.
