How to have more confidence?

Question

I know I am goodlooking. I take care of myself good and told all the time how beautiful I am. It's not that- It's that I am shy. I question myself before I tell people things and I feel in large settings I come off awkward. I never project my voice or talk to people out of my comfort zone and I am starting college and I want to be able to make new friends and stop being so unconfident.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME

Answer 1

Just try not to worry about what people think of you and speak your mind and just act yourself :) Smile when you talk to people ...even ones you've just met, this makes them more comfortable around you too :) Good Luck, I'm exactly the same

Answer 2

well, if you know your pretty, then own it girl!!! use it to your advantage! not many people are lucky enough to have a nice face and you should use it to the max, just think that when ever your talking, people are admiring your beauty and if you feel akward they dont see it or realize it, their just looking at your prettyness

here these girls are very confident for their age, its good to do things like these to get used to yourself talking and stuff

How you look have nothing to do with it. Confidence comes from within, and then reflects on the outside.

You need to be happy with who you are as well as the way you look.

Your scared you might say something wrong? Or that people will think bad things about you? You need to be more care-free. It doesn't matter what they think, be who you are. If they don't like who you are then whatever, if they do, then you'll probably have lots of friends. And I'm sure they will like you. Just be you!

Answer 5

I used to be the same way, so this is how i got over it:

*when you know the answer to something in class, raise your hand.

*introduce yourself to your new teachers

*when you get a seating arangement, chit chat a little with the  person you get to sit next to. Ex: so do you like sitting in the front?

*dont look down and make good eye contact

*dont cross your arms

*think positively

Answer 6

Just try and be yourself, talk and act how you would with really close friends and family, don't care what other people think of you the more outspoken and more opinions you have on stuff the more confident you will get around others. Also just try to be the one in class who is loud and confident and you wont be shy the other people around you will probally be shy of you, especially the boys if youre good looking :)

hope this helped :)

Answer 7

Just be comfortable with yourself, and others will be with you. You don't necessarily have to be the most outgoing person, but be yourself. But, try to venture outside of your comfort zone once in a while. A person may not be like you, and he or she may not be the kind of person you usually talk to, but try to talk to them... about anything. Who knows? You may make the best of friends that way.

Remember, college is a big place. There are a lot of possibilities.
