No matter how you feel on the inside, always present the strongest and most put together front you possibly can. There is rarely a benefit of projecting weakness or insecurity to the public. There is almost no benefit of speaking negatively about yourself (or others, for that matter). Promote your strengths. Speak about the positive things going on in your life. Talk about the great things you’ve got going on. Talk about the great things you are doing. Keep all of your speech positive. Even if everything is fucked up in your life, even if it all seems to be going wrong for you, don’t let anyone else know that. Keep up that front.
