It's amazing how I can let people sap my self confidence- even when I know they are deficient and can't hold a candle to me.
How do you boost your self confidence?
I need some tips.

Thanks!

Believe in yourself. Love yourself. Be nice to yourself. It's all about self compassion. Easy to say, hard to do.

Feel better❤️

Look in the mirror and say good things about yourself.. smile as you complement yourself and believe what you are saying true..because it is!

WRAS,

A lot of it has to do with my mood! Some days I think I am the shizzle...others not so much!

Positive self talk is HUGE !!

The world will chip away at our confidence...but we can boost ourselves by speaking only good things to us!

BTW...I KNOW you're the shiz!! ;)...now go get 'em!!!!

Well. Hmmm... I'm not really one to get all 'hyped up' on self-confidence. I think it's more of just trying to be comfortable and happy in our own skin. Someone will always think they're better than us, and someone always will be better at certain things than us. It's just the way it is. But.... I am guessing that if you do your best, and leave the rest to God, that you will feel much better about who you are as a person.

:D

There's a song that I've been listening to this morning. A few of the lyrics remind me of an uplifting way of life. It's about letting kindness be your 'way of life.' There's not much that feels better than kindness...well... maybe love feels better.. But kindness feels pretty darn good too! :D Happy day Weary!


Some of those sweet lyrics. :D

"We're all so much alike, that what can really matter? It's not how you dress, it's not how you think, it's how you are.......kindness... It's how you are... be kind inside your heart. Don't be haughty, don't be vein, don't be anything you might not feel like, is right. "

"So watch what you say, give lots of hugs, watch what you think, and be who you love. And nice and kind and patient and loving. Build friendships that will last a lifetime."

"Don't be shallow. Don't be vein."

wow turbo forum- I even forgot I posted this and found it by accident!

Thanks all for your support.

What I wonder is what is the cause of lack of self confidence?

Do you ever feel like you know people who have nothing going for them yet they are completely full of themselves and can convince you that they are more than they are?

Is it just a good act?

Are people like us just too modest?

I just don't know where these feelings come from. It's kind of like people an talk me into thinking I'm a nothing?

Do we work in the same place?

That's funny John I thought the same thing!

Self confidence is tricky. I believe there needs to be a balance between not letting others down and not caring what they think. Stay true to yourself and most importantly do the right thing. We are trapped in a world where most people get ahead by conniving and lying. While competent people work hard others climb the ladder through ass kissing and brown nosing. It's unfair, however I believe that there are good people and by being just and honorable you'll feel better about yourself. Don't let them get you down.
