Question

Answer 1

hmm its easy for everyone to say dont front but i dont think its the case, everyone feels the way your feeling right now sometime or another..(some more than others including myself)
The only thing I can say from experience is that usually first apperances are crucial, if you dont know the people. Try not to be over friendly and polite to others when you first meet them. Keep firm eye contact with the person your talking or listening to(not as if you are going to but them though-you dont wanna frwak them out) And whatever you do dont put yourself down in company, even in a joking way. I always thought this was a good way to make myself less intimidating to people but just found that people took advantage of it.
Finally(this might seem a little harsh) remember that everyone has a weakness, I mean like EVERYONE! if you note them it can make others feel less intimidating and seem more 'normal'.
That all might sound a bit harsh but its a harsh environment we live in....especially where i come from! Good luck.

Q---What is a building without a foundation??
A--- A pile of rubble eventually...... A building won't last without a good foundation.

Point----Don't front. Faking confidence isn't worthwhile.You've got to start with what's troubling your heart. There are reasons why you feel the way you do and they need to be dealt with first. Talk to family, friends or a counselor. Find someone who is trustworthy and willing to listen and help.
Once you deal with what's weighing your heart down, true confidence will automatically appear because you will have discovered a strength within yourself. This is the power to get back up on your feet and find joy in living even after life has dealt you a few blows.

Answer 3

1. Force a smile.
2. Never admit to anyone that you are doubting yourself about anything.
3. Never say anything bad about yourself in public. Try not to do it in private either.
4. Don't visibly hesitate.
5. Be decisive and quick with an answer when someone asks you a question. Don't give vague or gray-area answers either.
6. Whenever you talk to someone, go into the conversation prepared with what you're going to say.
7. Hold your head high and stand up straight. Don't slouch or slump over. Bad posture is a giveaway of low confidence.

Fake it till you make it!

Answer 4

There are lots of things that you can do to try to fake confidence, but I think that a lot of people can see right through it. I've tried everything, smiling all the time, always being upbeat and everything but it really wasn't until I started feeling better about myself that people saw me as a more confident person. I would say that rather than take the time to try to convince people that you're confident, you should try to take the time to convince yourself. Good luck!

Answer 5

at the moment i have 0 confidence. i cry. i listen to sad music...then the next day i act like nothing happens. fake a smile, pretend everything is ok. even when ppl take your heart and shred it into a million pieces, and then date your sister, oohhh sorry.

Answer 6

When I feel horrible and moody but want to show confidence I choose my attire more carefully. I wear the best outfit that I have. One that fits well and helps me to feel like a million bucks. It usually works!

Answer 7

....sounds like you might not like the way you are living, if you are the things you describe then you shouldnt have to show anyone, but if you try too hard they will see that youre fakin it, and that alone will give u ulcers, just be yourself and happy with yourself and do the things you want....but lying to yourself about stuff will only make you feel like crap

Answer 8

there have been times when i have felt this way. some of us, bc of early experiences may have a "shame-based personality". it means we feel bad about who we are.
the solution for me has been discovering that I am loved by God, created by Him, made for the purpose of loving others. i discovered this thru a relationship with Jesus Christ. it has been a gradual process of discovery. i wish i could say if never feel like crap. but i don't fake it at least among the people who love me.

Answer 9

smile, make conversation, and be yourself sooner or later the faking it will either make things worse or better lets hope for better.

Answer 10
