What can I do to trust myself more?

Answer 1

First, understand what TRUST is so you can understand WHY you seeking to “trust yourself more”.

Trust, assurance, confidence imply a feeling of security. Trust implies instinctive unquestioning belief in and reliance upon something: to have trust in one's parents. Confidence implies conscious trust because of good reasons, definite evidence, or experience: to have confidence in the outcome of events. Assurance implies absolute confidence and certainty: to feel an assurance of victory.

Trust is the reliance, or confidence, on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing – the certainty of that person or thing on which one relies in confident expectation of something hoped for.

You’re feeling unsure of yourself because of your limited experiences with which to draw on. This is a feeling, though, that all people experience right through adulthood, too, because we don’t know everything there is to know, that scares us, and that makes us unsure of our abilities.

Life is about living it-the good, the bad, and the ugly of being human! Don't dwell on what you don't know. LIFE EXPERIENCES ARE LEARNING EXPERIENCES-LIVE AND LEARN!

Don't be afraid of the unknown-see each experience as an adventurous opportunity to learn from it. Don't be afraid of living, don't be afraid of making mistakes, and don't be afraid of being human! You'll be alright-we've all been there and have done that!

Answer 2

Recognise and know your boundaries!
If there are places that tempt you,avoid them.....If there are addictions, know your self well enough to accept your weekness, and fight it with your will. This is how you begin to start a trusting relationship with your self.If you don't trust yourself, you probably don't tust other people as well,this creates toxic relationships with others.Trust is the foundation for all relationships,with out it ,
a relationship will fall apart.
For every temptation you overcome, you will gain a bit more trust in yourself.Little by little it will build you up to have the confidence and trust you need to live a good life.
Good luck

Answer 3

Look at the people in your life who you consider to be trustworthy. What is it about those individuals that gives you the confidence to trust in them? Is it honesty, loyalty, consistency, kindness, etc? If you work to build those qualities within yourself in order to become a more trustworthy person in general, you will find that when it is appropriate you will be able to trust yourself as well.

I say "when it is appropriate" because even the most trustworthy people still have occasional desires or impulses to do stupid things. This does not mean that they cannot trust themselves. It simply means that they have to be constantly aware of what is going on within their emotions and minds, and they have to at times go against their first instincts in making decisions. It is a mark of maturity to be able to control one's impulses and instincts in a healthy way. Over time, I am sure you will find that these occurrences will happen less and less, as you train your impulses to match your value system and develop your character to include the traits of a trustworthy person.

I heard this recently and it stuck with me. A woman said,

I can't think of myself as a woman, because I don't know myself well enough, and that only comes from experience.

I think that is very true.
Also, don't lie to yourself. If you think one way and act another, you won't trust yourself.

Another quote that helps me in this regard, is

Integrity is what you do alone, in the dark.

It means be you, and behave the same way whether you are alone or in front of people. Try it.

And...above all, love yourself. If you love and respect yourself, you will appreciate your thoughts more, and develop more trust.
