Self confidence. Whats it all about?

Question

What does it entail? This has come about after applying for a job at chili's as a server. I hardly smile and im so shy and unconfident. Yet I have been told that im decent looking and not ugly at all. But since i went through a childhood where fat was unacceptable based on what my peers said and a mother leaving my family, i always felt doubt about myself. what does self confidence involve? what should i try? Ive been told that if i dont open up or smile alot more, i will experience alot of alone time. what do you people think?

Answer 1

in general i don't think people should expect you to smile alot

but for a job as a server i  think you should

try to do things to make yourself happy

hang out with people you enjoy being with

that may help

take care

Answer 2

Being sure of yourself no matter what the obstacle. But careful, there is a thin line between self-confidence and megalomania.
