Ollie, just to get away completely from manners...I've been hearing and reading a lot lately about our sub-conscious minds, and how our beliefs (true or not) shape our lives. Was it Mark Twain who said, "if you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right" ? I notice you say you're "not as confident...", "panic more easily".."this will only worsen with age". Think of your sub-conscious as a "yes-man", it says "yes" to all you say - "I am confident" (yes); "I am not confident" (yes);"I can do this" (yes); "I can't do this" (yes) - you can choose what you say to yourself (aloud or not) and you'll always get a "yes".
And back to manners: we can only do what we know to do, so keep up your good manners and good reactions, and it can only rub-off in a positive way.
