i have extremely low confidence...how can i gain confidence?

Answer 1

By doing things for yourself and things that make you happy,believing in youself and not listening to negative thoughts(your inner critic and other people's opinion) and loving youself flaws and all

Answer 2

Develop a self assured alternate ego. Just pretend that you are confident. Whenever you are feeling a lack of confidence, let the "other you" take over. It sounds silly but it works pretty well. After a while you'll gain real confidence. Also when you're down on yourself ask "What would a good friend say to me now?" Treat yourself like a caring friend would treat you (after all, we should be close friends with ourselves). Remember everyone has low self-esteem sometimes. Crazy colored toe-nail polish works too.

Answer 3

Confidence starts within yourself... learning to love YOU and excepting YOU. Not just some of YOU, but all of YOU. Loving yourself is the first step. Secondly learn to speak up, do not always be that one in the classroom that the teacher can not hear. Prayer is strong, pray for guidance and strength!

Good Luck!

Answer 4

why do you feel bad about yourself? do you think other people are better than you? why? You have to love yourself for who you are, you know?You are unique, there is no1 else same as you and thats what you should remember. everyone has some qualities and you should believe in yours. i hope you will gain some confidence, because life is much more easier.

Answer 5

some of these answers are really good, but speaking from experience, its hard to do what they say. it takes a long time, it will not happen overnight or even in a year. you have to have support. but stick in there and keep thinking good about yourself. make a list at what you are good at and what you think you are bad at. then take one at a time on the bad list and try to change it. do no try to change everything at once, it will be an overload and you will end up back where you started. take it slow. hope this helps you!!

Answer 6

don't think about the negative things, but look at all the positives in your life and what you do well. Helping others is a good way to feel good about yourself. Ex. You can join clubs or other services that help around the community.

Answer 7

learn about yourself. know what you are good at, irregardless if its not actually what you want yourself to be. take me for example, i always wanted to be part of the the Dean's List, but never did. i went through a slump.. but i realized that GRADES DOESNT MEASURE PERSONHOOD.. hence i focused on other things that is me.. like photography, dancing and mentoring...

focus on what you like, you are good at and what you like, irregardless of what people say you should do or be. sometimes, low self-confidence reflects your fear of what other people say about you. but sometimes, its us putting too much pressure on ourselves to the point that you shy away from everything else.

which one are you? Learn about yourself. and Love what you Learn.
