To Increase Confidence:
1. Make a list of your strong points.
All the positive things about yourself and the things that you are good at doing. Think of compliments you have received or things that come easily to you. It doesn't matter what it is, if it's good, write it down.
2. Choose two of those things that you want to work on to improve even more.
It's important to succeed and by concentrating on the areas you are already good at you will have a better chance of becoming even more sure of yourself. Remember that success builds upon success.
3. Exude confidence even if you don't feel like it.
Talk to yourself in an encouraging way and stay away from negative thoughts and people as you can.
Instead surround yourself with positive, confident, and successful people. This will become a habit and one that will build confidence.
4. Look at yourself in a different way than you are used to doing.
It can change your life and help your confidence level to rise. See yourself as the self confident person you want to be and before you know it you will become that person.
If you have a set-back do not let it get the best of you. Remember the times when you exhibited self confidence and how good it felt and then try again and each time will help you to build confidence and confidence building will become a way of life.
very easy don think about it and try doing other stuufffff.
I had/have this problem too. #1 focus on what you do like about yourself. #2 find ways to improve what you don't like.. ex. start working out, running or whatever gets you to be active. #3 if the issues are not ones that can be changed by physical efforts, try getting a make over. A different hair cut or something like that. Change something because if you are like most people, and I'm guessing you are, change or something new adds to your excitement. #4 add positive re-enforcement. Tell yourself what you like everyday or more often if you need it. #5 take compliments to heart and disregard the negative. #6 love yourself for who you were, who you are, and who you want to become. #7 never forget who you are. Looks don't mean everything. What you are is perfect, any of these changes you want to make are for you personally, not to make others happy. Change comes from within.
Good luck.go look in the mirror and smile! :-)
Be thankful to God for whatever you have. You probably have parents or siblings or friends who intentionally or unintentionally make you feel bad about yourself. Another reason can be that you're a teenager. Very few people are satisfied with their looks in their early teens. As you grow older, you become more and more confident. For now, just try to concentrate on others more than on yourself. once and for all, say to yourself that 'i might be ugly, i might be goodlooking... i just don't care anymore.'
Most people don't even care about outer appearance and if they do, who wants THEM as a friend. Women are less hedonistic than men. (just my opinion) Some girls look inside. Find people that are kind and hang out with them. Even if their looks are not what's considered gorgeous. Chose your friends well. Befriend the person who has the same insecure feelings as you. The one who looks shy and withdrawn. You will be their hero and they won't know how much they are helping you in return. I feel as though I'm not good looking. (don't look at my avatar) haha BUT, I have lots of friends who love me and the ones that don't, OH WELL!
just think of the good things about your self and have a positive out look. tell your self that it will all work out!
i think if you go to a really crowded place and watch the people you Will see a lot of people worse off then you.crippled, fat ugly all kinds of different.i am not trying to be mean just saying look around it could be a lot worse.life is for enjoying, live it.
