Honey Boo Boo is opening up about her experience on Dancing With The Stars Juniors and just how she overcame a little confidence killer.

“I did hit a breaking point at one time,” the 13-year-old reality star shared with People, and it was because of who else was on the cast.

“Mackenzie Ziegler is on the show and I was like, ‘I’m never going to be better than her.’ But I kind of got past it because you don’t have to be the best dancer to win. It’s not just about being the best dancer. It’s about having fun, too.”

Honey Boo Boo, whose real name is Alana Thompson, revealed that her partner Tristan Ianiero and mentor Artem Chigvintsev helped her get over that real fast.

“Everyone around me was so supportive,” she says. “Some days I would get super nervous and frustrated, but Artem and Tristan were supportive and told me I was going to be great.”

Alana continues, “If you’re questioning your abilities — I mean, I thought dancing was going to be the hardest thing ever to learn and to do, but it wasn’t as hard as I thought once we got the hang of it. If you’re going to do something, don’t be afraid to do it and just do it!”

Dancing with the Stars: Juniors premieres Sunday, October 7th @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
