How can I become more confident?

Answer 1

Actors lose themselves with mask acting. All their reservations about looking attractive, intelligent, or whatever are immediately repressed once they put on a mask or make-up job. They can devote every scrap of energy they have into giving a bang-up performance.

What you need to do is find yourself some sort of mask, something in which you can lose yourself. I'm a fan of unique and interesting sunglasses, for example. I slip on a pair, and I'm psychologically invisible to myself, giving me the opportunity to run free.

Answer 2

I can relate to this question. A very fine gentlemen taught me how to feel more confident.

His advice was to be the best you can be. Don't worry what others think of you. You couldn't please everyone if you tried. When speaking to someone, always look them in the eye. Never walk with your head bowed. The more confident you pretend to be, the faster you will actually feel confident. It is like convincing yourself of how important you are in the world. Think of all the things you have contributed. Then think of how many people there are that are not doing their share. Don't you deserve respect for those accomplishments?

By the way, looks, intelligence, or prominence has very little to do with projecting confidence. I know many people that have none of these, and remain very confident about themselves.
Good luck! You can do it! I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOU!!!

Answer 3

I guess it depends on what type of confidence you are looking for. if it is in a particular work or social situation you want to gain confidence in- you may be able to become more confident by continually pushing yourself into unfamiliar situations that you are 'fearful' of, this will allow you to realize that you do have it in you to concur! it will give you confidence in that particular area.

if you are talking about self- confidence the key is inside your head and your heart! maybe the fact that you are thinking you are not confident is restricting you from achieving your confidence potential.

my advice to you is
-believe in yourself . you are in control of your lifes potential.
-face your fears! this way you wont always be running.

( I know its easier said than done, i have and I'm sure everybody has suffered from low confidence at one point or another but our minds or 'the way we think' about ourselves become who we are/ how we portray ourselves to the world)

I find my biggest confidence booster is kindness- being kind to those around me makes me feel confident in myself. everyone is different though, so do some soul searching and find out what activities/ traits about yourself make you feel better. this ought to help ya. also look at the people you hang out with- do they make you feel good about yourself or do they tear you down? this may be having an affect on your confidence or self esteem.

good luck :)

Answer 5

I don't really know.
Confidence comes in believing in your abilities.
If you don't believe in your abilities, then you will never be confident.
