Some things to remember that will help you...
- There are no personalities that are considered best...every person has a TOTALLY UNIQUE way of thinking and behaving, their interpersonal style that is a part of what makes them a one-of-a-kind individual. So I guarantee you there is nothing wrong with your personality. Every person is different, WAY more different on the inside than they appear on the outside.
- Every personality is a mixture of emphasis (thought and behavior processes that are used more often, because they feel more comfortable)...personality STRENGTHS. Along with other aspects of personality that are less emphasized. If a strength is over-used, it can be a liability, if a weakness is neglected, it can be a liability. So you see, EVERY person is a mix of strong areas of personality and not-so-strong areas.
- Personality characteristics don't change much. I've seen such changes, but only with tremendous effort over a period of many years. For example, being a manager for 10 years can have an impact on your personality. So don't be concerned about changing yourself...make the most of your strengths, the aspects of your personality that define who you are.
- During the growing up years, we are preparing to achieve things as adults. But we haven't had time to achieve much yet. So it's hard to feel real confident. All I can tell you is that the more you accept who you are, the more you accept that your make-up is just fine, actually a wonderful mixture of gifts and strengths, the more confident you'll feel. Don't try to be like others, just glory in being yourself. If you do that, people will notice...THAT will make a big difference.
- Keep trying to have fun in social situations. The more you do, the easier it will become. Focus on others, not yourself. Take an interest in others. Ask them about themselves, their lives, their interests, and then be a good listener. People LOVE that!
I've read over 100 books about success and interpersonal skills, and what I've just told you is commonsense good advice. J.J., I hope this helps. You go, girl... Good luck!

Read the book "What to say when you talk to yourself"
You don't have a horrible personality you just need more self confidence.
Reading the Bible (New Testament) will probably help too.

This is going to sound silly but..
Look in the mirror every day and say out loud, while looking into your own reflection, "I live myself" and "I am attractive, people find me attractive", etc.
Believe it or not, do this everyday and you will feel the difference soon and for the rest of your life.

"Am I incorrect" is the initiating of a query that isn't have the ability to easily be spoke back with a diverse confident or no. initially, you have this pal for a reason. the reason isn't a lot which you're able to submit with him or which you desire or do no longer desire his negativity. initially, you does no longer be incorrect the two way, yet once you have been to establish what the value of his critique quite is, then you quite could savor him for his honesty, no longer for his negativity. For one ingredient, in case you get disillusioned by using absolutely everyone (pal or no longer), it factors to something interior you which you have no longer yet made extensive wakeful - and that's bothering you. the answer is to make it extensive wakeful. working example, in this occasion, you even factor out the perception it quite is inflicting this experience. that's a mandatory suggestion as quickly as I reviewed your question. you suspect that "in case you do not have something superb to assert then do no longer say something in any respect." This perception is your perception. you're able to ask the question: Does it artwork for you? certainty has provided you with a individual who does no longer stay by using your perception. he isn't drawn on your perception. He only is your pal and feels loose to particular himself. what's faulty in that? in case you ought to replace your perception, or maybe shatter it, you will discover out 3 issues. First, which you would be able to fee critique, whether it sounds unfavorable. 2d, which you will have the flexibility to particular your individual unfavorable ideas approximately him and not sense ashamed approximately it. In effect, you will shift your perception to a pair different perception it quite is working greater for you. The third ingredient is which you're loose to have faith despite works for you. thank you for asking substantial questions. Bruno.

you can not convince yourself you just have to know in your heart that you are a nice person and you have a nice personality..... nothing and no one can convince you. You have to know in your hearts of hearts that you are a good person..... I do not even know you but I do know that you are a good person and you mean well...so surround yourself around good, positive people and believe in yourself and you will start believing that you are a good person! Good luck on your endeavors!!

Take an acting class. I had mild social anxiety disorder, and acting saved me and taught me to think on my feet and be myself.
