What do you do to raise your self-esteem and your self-confidence?

Answer 1

Instead of saying 'no, I can't do it', say 'yes, I can do it'.

Believe in yourself. You have as much right to express yourself as anyone else.

There is no right or wrong way to be in front of people so just be yourself without giving it too much thought.

All the best

Answer 2

The first step to building confidence, in my opinion, is finding out what you truly want. Over the next week, whenever you feel down, depressed, insecure, or frustrated, start making a list of all the things you want. They can be little things, like, "I want a glass of water" or big things, like "I want to ride around the entire world in a hot air baloon." Just write down everything and don't censor yourself. Then after a week, and even throughout the week, look at the list and decide which of those things you can do something about. Then start doing it! Some of the things might require little steps first, but if you really want it, then you can do it. As you start seeing that you can do things that make you happy, your confidence will grow!

Answer 3

Understand that you only live once

Be rest assured that everyone else you meet has similar insecurities to you (and that's the truth!)

Take the focus off you - instead of you thinking to yourself, 'do they like me?', ask yourself, 'do I like them'?

Imagine that everywhere you go, everyone respected you and admired your charisma - now do this when you're out and about but make sure it's not in an arrogant or condescending manner.

Give a quick, warm smile to people you meet - even when holding the door open for someone. They smile back cause they feel good and you then feel good for the interaction..


Always think positive thoughts. NEVER tell yourself that you're stupid for doing something, even if you're joking. The mind believes, subconsciously what it is told....tell your mind that you're fantastic and unique, your body language will show this..


just remember, there's a fine line between charisma and arrogance

good luck

Alot of times people are not confident because they don't know what to be confident about. Well one of the first things to do is find a strong point for you to foucs on. Something you're good at doing. Somethig that makes you unique. When you do that...you'll have something to be confident about.

Answer 5

Look around you, think of the people around you, family, friends,neighbours colleagues, how many people is above you with regards to position , morals, respect, capabilities, achievements and what ever other thing that makes you feel low AND HOW MANY IS BELOW YOU.

Assess yourself, what have i achieved? where have i gone wrong? what do i need to do to acheive what i want? Seek advice with the people you trust.

Then do what is right and speak up your mine where ever you are but make sure you deliver it well without offending others.

Answer 6

if no one gives you a compliment, pay yourself one. there's nothing wrong with loving yourself because at the end of the day, when there is nothing left of you , you have yourself.
rational egotists believe that man's first right on earth is the right to ego. his first duty is to serve his self. so go, clap for yourself, cheer for yourself, and tell the man you see in the mirror that he is brilliant and beautiful because God made him.

Answer 7

Romp on the floor with a group of shoeless three year olds, letting them crawl all over you while capturing them one at a time to blow really gross, loud bubbles on their bellies. That, and grow a plant.

Answer 8

Surround yourself with positive things: pics, sounds, smells, ideas, people, etc. Any negative around you will not help right now but eventually you will need to learn how to turn the negs into pos.

Answer 9

Realize that I fall short of what I want to be and pray to God to be the person He wants me to be. Nothing else fills me quite like that.

Answer 10

Look in the mirror every day and say 'You are worthy of good things--enjoy life!'
