be more confident
So worth it 2 years ago

Confidence is so worth having. I’ve gone from thinking my best of friends hated me to where I am today.

One of the keys for me was looking at my friends. Some of my friends are amazing people, but they have absolutely no self confidence. I always try to boost them up, because they really deserve it. I’d gradually start to realize I shared some of their same reaction patterns.

Having a couple friends to continually lift me up didn’t hurt either.

Perhaps the most important thing is to realize you will NEVER be perfect. Even the people who look like they have it all together don’t. They probably have a lot of the same insecurities as you do. It’s all in how you look at it. Focus on your strengths, and work to fix your weaknesses.

get better at small talk
Untitled 2 years ago

Ever since I got a job working with the public, I’ve been improving about this. Customers volunteer the most inane of subjects, and I find myself going toe to toe with them on the matter, even if I’ve never heard of it before. It’s also been translating into my social life too.

The trick is to have the confidence that people want to hear what you have to say, the ability to at least sound like you know something about what they’re talking about (or if all else fails, make an inquiry). Doesn’t hurt if you’re not afraid to say something off the wall every now and then, draws a good laugh and such.
