How can I become More Confident?

Question

I seem to lack self-confidence and over-all confidence, when speaking infront of large groups of people I mean
what can i do to become more confident?

Answer 1

Do stuff that you find easy and then gradually repeat the task but making it a bit harder.

In sport, for example, walk a certain distance you know you can do and repeat it for a couple of days and after that extend it a little bit and repeat.

After a while you will find you are able to walk much further than you thought you would be able to and therefore be more confident in walking that distance.

Find a way to adapt that principle to whatever you want to be more confident in

Answer 2

stop and think, and what i mean by this is when you are talking in a large group think out what you are about to say or else you could look very silly i know i have done it myself. When you dig an hole in front of people it is very hard to fill it in and that is because you know part of the story but not all. To be more confident relax dont rush to say things and plan before you say then this way you will find it will gpo very well and you will stand out from the crowd this is confidence building.

Answer 3

there's no better way to gain confidence than to place yourself in a difficult situation. I find that it's harder to present things to people i kind of know, then people you don't know at all, so try practiseing in front of these types of people.

Try taking a public speaking course. That's a great way to build confidence, and it really does help with all aspects, from stage fright to confidence boosters.

Good Luck

Answer 4

Before you go into a room full of people, or before you walk out into the street (or where ever there are people), stand up straight, and say to yourself, 'I am the best person in this room/street, I am intelligent, interesting and when people look at me, it is through admiration.' It's not arrogance, it just puts you in a good frame of mind to face people.
Either that, or just think, ' I don't give a sh*t what other people think.'

Answer 5

put a picture of a face with nice eyes on a wall in your home, put it at your height and look in to their eyes and face without feeling your shyness trying to make you look left or right, it will trigger chemicals in your brain telling you to be positive, do not watch tv or any visuals try and stand up more the kitchen is good place, dont let music effect you if its sad make up the words to it and have a bit of fun with yourself , free yourself from self awareness

Answer 6

What you have to remember is the majority of these people don't know you. I always think to myself "It doesn't matter to me what other people think of me. The only opinions I care about are my family's. As long as my family are happy and healthy that's all that matters. If people cant take me for who I am the that's their loss"

Answer 7

Think of the reasons why you feel unconfident and you'll then find the answer.

Answer 9

Answer 10
