Back To School Confidence MakeOver?

Question

At my old school, I was known as the shy quiet girl

Now I'm going into Jr. High ( 7th grade ) and a new school, and I want a total confidence make-over.

Sooo....How can i be confident and stuff?

I am not trying to sound concieted, but Im pretty, so that isn't the problem, it's that I'm afraid of what other people think

help!

Answer 1

you just have to stop caring about what people think of you. i know, easier said then done. and i know because im experiencing it. i have anxiety and it kills me to go anywhere. i mean god, im home schooled now. but you just have to make yourself go out and practice just ignoring other people. if you feel like everyone is starring at you, 1. they probably aren't, 2. if they are starring just smile at them because if they're starring meanly, they'll be caught off guard and won't know how to react, and if they're starring nicely, they'll smile back. and wearing things you aren't comfortable in will just make your confidence meter drop. what i mean by things you're not comfortable in is, like if you aren't girly, don't dress girly because you won't feel comfortable and plus there's no point in trying to be like everyone else. just be yourself and you'll feel more confident. or at least i do.  and remember, it won't happen over night, it'll take time and work. you have to make it happen. good luck!   :)

1) Don't care about what other people think. This can vary, however. If someone doesn't like you because you don't wear "cool" clothes, or you don't have your hair cut a certain way, they're worth ignoring. But it someone dislikes you because you're a jerk, change the way you are (listen to their reasons first though, be careful).

2) Don't be stuck up. You may be pretty, but don't shove it down people's throats.

3) Don't act S****y or innocent-dumb.

4) Be independent. Independence/time alone/speaking publicly/having you're own personality = confidence that you should be proud of.

omg i was the exact same way foir the first 2 years of junior high (im in high school now)

basically i cared soooo much bout wat other people thought about me then the day before i started the 9th grade i decided to change that

u can start by changin up ur look a little get a new hairstyle and some new cute outfits and ur already hal;f way there

the other secret to bein confidetn is the attitude walk in there on the first dat=y knowin u look good and justsmile at everyone

and dont care wat other people think about u ur just tell.

like who cares wat they think bout u just be like u know wat if u dont like it then don look at me u know if someone says somethin to u ur about u then their just jelous of u so dpnt worry about it concintrate on u and not every body else

good luck :)
