I am lost

Lately I've lost confidence and not sure what I want to do with life. Not sure where I am heading. I am currently working and have been looking for work for the last 3 months for a change and I am not able to find one... well I found one but that's a short-term contract for a couple of weeks. The more I don't find job, the more I lose my confidence. Maybe it's the global recession or is it just a sweet excuse? I want to boost my confidence but it's not easy.

I am an introvert. So showing confidence doesn't come naturally to me. I prefer working alone and do I own things. That's where I excel but in order to make a living, exceling in your own ways do not suffice.
