How I did it: There is no "way" or "path" to finishing this goal. I guess the past couple of years must have been rough patches, I'm at a new school, and I'm making new friends, overall every thing is running mostly okay for now.

How I did it: After spending most of my life lacking confidence in myself I finally in a way gave up caring what others thought about me.I just got tired of worrying about how others would judge me and look down upon me. And I realized that's going to happen no matter what I do or who I am.Rich or Poor, man or woman, I will be judged and it's my choice to take it to heart or not.I realized I am a great person, I can accomplish whatever I want if I put … Read how I did it…

I’m one of these people who seems confident, but even tiny things will have me running through various scenario’s in my brain to try and stop myself looking stupid.
I’m guessing this is going to take a long time to complete, but some amazing changes have happened in my life recently so you never know I guess lol xD

I’m starting to feel more confident because I went to a dermatologist a few weeks ago and now my skin is almost completely clear! :) I feel more confident in my appearance…but I want to feel more confident in myself in general.
I have no confidence in front of audiences. I have tried to overcome this by joining a theatre group and the School orchestra. As soon as I went in front of an audience my nerves were so bad that I eventually left both

I look for opportunities to strangers, to greet friends by name, compliment people, etc. and it gets easier the more I do it.

once upon a time as a little kid playing dodge ball or the biggest sand castle i was confident.
Now in the present time of being 20 years old, Im contemplating confidence.
oh boy
This book and hypnotic CD is really really good, but unfortunately you do need to listen to it regularly and keep doing the suggested exercises (many of which require visualisation) in order to remain confident. I got really into this a couple of years ago, but have since let it slide. I really wish I’d carried on with it, so I’m going to start listening again. The CD takes about 30 minutes.
I think this has gone downward slightly. I don’t have a job anymore, and I guess since I’m interacting with people less, I feel less like being around them. I don’t even like going shopping most of the time. Actually I think the main reason is my friend Caroline. She makes me feel like I’m not myself, and I think I really need to get away from her because if I’m not myself, I just don’t feel good.
When I haven’t seen her in a while though, I feel really good about myself, like better than even before I met her. I suppose that is good news, because that means that things will get better when I’m not with her.
I just hung out with her yesterday and today, and we have plans for tomorrow, and I just don’t want to. I never initiate anything, but I don’t say no either. Tomorrow I will make sure to not make any more plans. Refusing from the start is easier than cancelling. I can’t wait to go to France and just get away from everything.
I’ve done a lot of this in the past couple years, but I don’t know that I will ever really complete this anytime soon. To me, becoming confident in yourself is about realizing and being happy with who you are. People are always changing and I just hope that when I become the person that I want to be, I like her. ;)
I totally lack confidence, if teachers ask me questions in class I blush.
If someone asks me about my boyfriend then I blush!! I can speak up for myself it’s just when my face goes red I get so embarressed and then I shut up so I don’t draw any more attention to myself!! There doesn’t seem to be anyway of winning, can anyone offer any advice to stop myself blushing all the time?
