Before getting into the details of showing you answers to the above questions, a few pieces of general advice:
Always confident for interviews. An optimistic and positive attitude always helps.
Whenever we talk about past experiences or examples from your personal life, don't focus on the negative aspects of those experiences. Instead talk about how all your experiences, whether good or bad, were a great learning opportunity for you.
It never helps to present a false picture of who you are or what your skills and experiences are. Apart from the fact that people appreciate honest, sincere individuals in an interview, setting the wrong expectations might land you the job, but your true skill and effectiveness will only show in the work that you deliver.
