I know this may seem dumb but how do you show self confidence?

Question

You see I tell myself not to care what other people think about me- but I can't seem to do it. How can I can I get this to stick?!

Answer 1

well you walk tall and your head up and with a smile never show your weak side even if you think to just hold it together

Answer 2

You can tell yourself all you want but you have to FEEL it first. There are a lot of self-help books that help with this and they are good books. It might help to pick one up. Draw on the positive qualities you have (I am kind to others, I am smart, etc). When you feel good about yourself, you will show positive self-confidence. Once you feel it, telling yourself will carry it out.

Answer 3

I have found that the least confident people are also the most judgemental. If all of somone's energy goes into observing and judging everyone elses behavior, the natural course is for them to think that everyone else is judging THEM, which is turn causes lack of confidence. It's a vicious cycle. Learn to accept flaws in other people and you'll learn to accept your own.

Answer 4

seriously you just need to believe in yourself. No matter what happens just say to yourself I am better than them or this situation or whatever is happening. I am not a super model but I always feel good about my self you should too

Answer 5

Tell yourself this every day 50 times (count it):
Do not be afraid.
(You can do it 20 times at a time and more than once / day, too).

Other variations:
Don't let them scare you.
Don't be scared.


You need to do this consistently, every single day, until it works.
It helps if you are kind of serious while doing this.
You just have to keep repeating that stuff to yourself over and over, and keep on doing that.
