how can i get self confidence?!!!?

Question

what can i say or do to be self confident!!?? thanks :D

i wanna be like marylin monroe, sexy and self confident!!

Answer 1

I always thought Marylin Monroe acted vulnerable and needy.

Anyhow, it seems to me that confidence comes from success. The more you're successful, the more confident of more success. I don't believe that positive thinking can make you confident. Confidence comes from the inside as the phychologist above says, however confidence will never get inside you without positive experiences to justify it.

Answer 2

Do you REALLY want to be like Marilyn Monroe? It doesn't seem that she had all that much self confidence. I don't think you can get "self confidence" by what you say or do. Seems to me that there are far more things about YOU that would give you confidence than you're aware of? Self confidence comes from the INSIDE, not how you're perceived by others. You think? I'd only suggest that you focus on (what you feel) is the best of you, & you might be surprised how people will "see" your self confidence, & confirm it. Honestly, it isn't attained from "the outside in." Believe in yourself, concentrate on your positives, & you'll absolutelty "shine." Been there, done that. (Can't hurt to try!)

Answer 3

A good way to boost confidence is focusing on positives and drowning out the nagging negative fear commentary. Compliment and congratulate yourself (I suggest out loud in private, in your head in public) on everything that you are good at, goes right, you like etc.

Or you could just learn to pretend you are confident like most people do!! Just don't end up like Anna Nicole Smith (or Marylin for that matter) I don't think they where as confident as you might think.... chemical confidence is definitely NOT recommended?

Answer 4

Marylin Monroe committed suicide, I wouldn't consider her self confident.

Answer 5

That is tough to do over the internet.
Smile, and ACT AS IF.
In certain circumstances your emotions are there to confuse you - ignore them. If you show uncertainty in a debate, your opponent will move in for the kill, so if you show uncertainty you will appear to be without confidence, and people will react accordingly. Stay firm in your opinions, not rigid and never changing, but firm.
Start small - nothing builds confidence like success, but act as if no matter what, you'll be surprised at the changes you see.

Write me privately if you need anything else, like a relaxation exercise.

Answer 6

Highlight your attributes, realize them and then it will create a snow ball affect. As ridiculous as it sounds I have a pad which I wrote "confident,happy,outspoken,motivated"... that I look at every morning after I get up and I feel wonderful. Each person has there own way of realizing how special they are but some things you should avoid: buying materialistic things are a temporary fix(after the "newness" wears off you feel just as bad), don't dwell on the negatives. Just find one thing you love about yourself and exploit it until it snow balls. good luck to you

Answer 7

Think positive thoughts,Do not let anyone manipulate you,Stand up for your self.There are so many great books on confidence.I really enjoyed ,Dr. Phil's Book.Look your self in the mirror and tell your self all the wonderful,ways about you. Good luck

Answer 8

confidence comes from reality.
if you don't know what reality imply, ... it is called faith.
if you don't know where it from, it is called hope.

to understand reality is the way of truth
