What are some good ways to boost your confidence?

Question

I'm starting a new school year. I've made so many mistakes in my previous year that my confidence has been low. I don't know how to flirt with guys, or ask any out cause I'm worried they'll just say no. I don't know how to be funny around teachers, cause I don't want to say the wrong thing. And I'm super worried about trying out for the team because I'm afraid I won't make it again, and that was one of the biggest confidence busters of last year. I know life's about taking chances. But I'm worried about taking chances-- and then getting in trouble or getting hurt and ultimately regretting them.

Answer 1

Do strip dancing in front of your mirror, lol, its a great burst of energy and makes you more aware and comfortable with your body.

Answer 2

trying to think on the bright side of things.

Answer 3

This is a very common situation for people your age (and for all ages in general).

I suggest reading various self-help books in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and such topics. You might find it weird at first, but it will make sense to you get into it more and more and it will, for sure, make a big difference in your confidence.

Here are some authors/speakers to read/listen to:

1. Richard Bandler

2. Zig Ziggler

3. Tony Robbins

4. Depek Choppra

Good luck.
