He lost confidence?

Oct 7, 2013 

Has he lost confidence since when the job interview didn't go well last year, maybe? I don't know. It just crossed my mind all of a sudden.  He has seemed OK ever since but, there is a possibility he has actually been uneasy? He gave it a shot for career change last year, by the way. 

Recently he started to work on again for the next try almost every night for the past weeks, or maybe months, I am not sure. He got several how-to books for job-interviews and resume and career history. I think ... it takes too much time for him just to make one carreer history. And the number of the books. He doesn't tell me but, which means he is actually uneasy so trying to prepare for his best? He is confident as usuall, though?

I don't know how I should treat him... How should I support him? 

Just in my opinion, men in general tend to be competitive, keener and hates to lose. Perhaps he doesn't even realize himself that he feels uneasy. Not knowing, he trys to get rid of the feeling. That's why he trys so hard.. 

Ah, then maybe what I should do is to bring him up. No negative words. 

....... Hmmm, what ascetic practices ... hah,hah...

I haven't had any compliment from him. Never.. I know this is not about give-and-take kind of matter but ... Hmmm... Anyway I will try.
