You can start with small acts of kindness to boost your self-esteem and courage. Try cutting an elderly's lawn for example or carrying someone’s bags. You can also visit your local shelter and serve food to the homeless. Try visiting an asylum and helping out with supplies or simply taking your time to talk to the lonely person in the corner is an act of a hero. Build your way up to even bigger jobs if you wish, it is all up to you.

Grow as a hero

Once you start thinking and acting like a hero on a daily basis, you will grow as one. Growing as a superhero entails evolving and becoming a better person. Remember that you are only human and will err every once in a while.

The important thing is having an unshakable foundation of ethics and morals, so you won’t cross the line into villain-hood. Also, spread your good works and inspire others to join in the battle against loneliness, indifference, and criticism.
