Answer 2

I am a firm believer that parental guidence during childhood is the best way for anyone to build their confidence. A person needs a mentor to show them the right attitude to take in reaching their goals in life. I had no mentor as a child coming from a poor family and had nothing but problems with learning in school but I achieved my goals after joining the military where mentors are readily available who help and push everyone into getting self confidence. I would say that the military is the greatest for building confedence in oneself.

Answer 3

I used to have confidence and hope. While the environment and bad things just happening, they shape my thinking upside down. I am hopeless and loss of confidence; bad luck come along...

So due to my real experience, I leave the old place and seek for fortune somewhere else. Time and place play so much impact on your life.

Y I mention the two things above? You can change yourself at your old place full of sadness and hopeless. In order to earn your confidence back, you have build up your joy and make yourself happy with your life. I hope it's not too long... Gud luck and take care!

Answer 4

Be healthy, Master a discipline like TAI CHI or TAEKWONDO or YOGA or just ballroom dancing, anything that will give an edge over the other person. Just knowing something that he doesn't know gives you that air of confidence. Being righteous is another. Knowing that your life is in conformity with the will of God will give you confidence, which is another form of discipline.

Answer 5

We are a self-evolving creatures, self -observation of
ones habits and freeing themselves from the habits
which lower self esteem, one needs to govern their
own struggles so you know what is there holding
you down, your emotions can guide you, even with
negative emotions. The frequency of positive &
negative emotions are the same cycles per minute,
so it would appear that our frame of mind is the clue
to how we may guide our ways in our lives, when you feel
your confidence falling short remember all our struggles
are actually external in which we internalize them into feelings,
learn to express and direct them in a controlled way so you
see where you stand with those emotions, bring them to the
surface and correct what needs to be controlled to improve
your confidence, of course each time you control one thing
another one will surface, and so the cycle begins;
the message is control my friend, control from external
stimuli from our psychological environment, we as an
organism reacts on the environment as well as to the
environment, look, there is nothing permanent in us, we can
never find ourselves to be right, we will always find something
we feel we need to change. Try not to express unpleasant emotions but rather be attentive to them, craft them into functions
of knowledge and divisions, and maybe you can develope
a more meaningful way to build up your confidence ...
I could say more but i think you get the idea ..
I hope !!!
It isn't easy melancholy girl, i can say all this and yet still
struggle with my own ways to be ...
but for me it is my timidness, my shyness and pensive
psychology which is added to my struggles of self-esteem ..
so for me the external stimuli is how to exist in the outside
world and still feel and be me .....
Even persons who are not shy still struggle with building
up their confidence .... It is the way of being human ...
We've evolved so we operate on feelings and emotions
and habits instead of only instincts ...
Our intention of operation is very emotional, humans are
open to attention and measure of who we need to be, instead
of just to be like other animals who exsit in differnt planes
of measure ....
hey, good luck !!!!! Your not alone !!!!!
