How do I build confidence????

Question

I know I can do things, but I just have little or no confidence, how do I build it up?

Answer 1

The big thing here is an attitude change. There is something that you are insecure about which is holding you back. Try to sort out what it might be...I won't give you ideas, but I am sure if you are honest with yourself you will arrive at your answer.

Once you have figured it out, tackle the problem. Change what you don't like about yourself, or accept it. Most of the time, your solution is a combination of both.

I used to lack confidence, too, and I wanted to be more comfortable talking to people and in front of groups. I started small, but seeking out people I thought looked easy to talk to and striking up a conversation. Over time, this got easier and I started talking to people that seemed very confident and cool (and "unapproachable"). The first time I did this, it was very shocking bc I was surprised by how easy it was. Because I had just been relaxed approaching this person, they had no clue how nervous I was to talk to them.

Eventually I started talking in front of large groups. I had to give many presentations for class (in college) and I would get very nervous preparing. I was part of a club on campus and I took a leadership role, which meant I would have to talk in front of the club every week or so. Because I knew all these people, I didn't feel so nervous, and over time, I got better at my class presentations as well.

well this defiitly doesnt happen over night. but talk to yourself before you go to bed. think of all the positive things about you. maybe you can write them down and hang them up to remind yourself. put good things about you by the mirror so when you look into it you mght see "you are very nice" or somethign like that. also take chancessss even if you dont feel confident you will come off as confident by going up and taking chances!

Answer 3

practice practice practice (if it has to do with standing up and talking in front of people). Always tell yourself how great you are. Look in the mirror and smile at yourself. you know you look good, you're a great person, you have a great personality and everyone likes you! Build yourself up. Be conceited! No one can help build your confidence but yourself

Answer 4

Think Positive in every way!! Remember God made you their is only one of you!!. And you are very beautiful Male or Female!!You do want to try things such as Swimming,Working at a Job that you think you can not do. (These are just examples) Think when you fail at Swimming or your New Job if you get fired or can not learn to Swim at least you did TRY. ANYTIME you have tried to do something you are a WINNER . IF you do not even try at all that is when you lose!!!
