How do i... =)?

Question

How do i stop caring about what other people think of me? I know there are heaps of people out there who are heaps confident and coudnt give a stuff about what other think of them, but im not one of those people. Any suggestions on how to be more confident? Thanks in advance =)

Answer 1

From my experience getting confidence is all about willpower. You have to try ridiculously hard to get there, but it is worth every bit of it. What works for me is not letting others' negative comments affect me. If someone says you are dumb, that is THEIR opinion, not the worlds' not your friend's, and it certainly shouldn't be yours. Also, be sure of your decisions. If you have thoughts such as "is this right" or am i "good enough" try and think about something else. Body language talks too. Literally, keep your chin up, and definitely roll your shoulders back. Do not ask reassurance from other people. Try and get that reassurance from yourself. i.e. no asking if you look fat in something. Trust yourself. I admire you for just having the confidence to post this question. Anyone can achieve confidence, and I know you will too if you try!!

Answer 2

well it all depends on what you're insecure about.

is it your personality? your looks?

it also depends on the type of person you are.

I know some people can feel more confident just by buying something new to 'show off' every day. & I admit, this does help but it is expensive.

What also helps, is when you can talk to someone to relate to. Even your friends can help you feel more confident.

What helps some people as well, is if ur feeling insecure about your looks, is look at other people who you think are 'ugly' (i know this sounds harsh) but it actually makes u feel more confident. Even just pointing out flaws in other people (in your head that is) makes u feel "omg im glad i dont have that!'

thats pretty much all I can think of right now, but hope it helps! and good luck!
