How To Be More Confident

A lot of people actually think that the reason they aren't confident about themselves is because others don't find them pretty/handsome, smart, nice, etc...


But that's actually not true. And I can assure you about that fact from experience.



Ever since I was small, I have been called pretty, cute, nice, smart, etc. (I'm not trying to boast). However, until recently I never really thought of myself as those... So, no matter what people told me, I just didn't really trust them. I just thought 'okay... but that's not true'.



So, no matter what people say, if you don't love yourself and don't find yourself pretty/handsome, smart, nice, anything actually which is positive... you will never believe what others say and just think that they're lying to make you feel better.



So... after thinking about it... I realized that the way you view yourself is very important. So, if you want to be more confident, you just have to start accepting yourself first. And not trying to find someone who will make yourself feel better, because eventually the 'illusion' will shatter and you'll go back to square one (happened to me in the past with my ex-boyfriend).



So to everyone who has low self esteem... instead of trying to find your negative points, actually ask yourself 'why would anyone be lucky to know someone like me?'



It could be anything actually... You could think that you're nice, you cook well, you take care of your parents well, you treat your friends well, anything. It doesn't have to be something big, but once you start viewing yourself positively, you'll start seeing yourself in a whole new light. It's just a small start to the whole mechanism of starting to love yourself.


How to be more confident


And I assure you, it won't happen in a single day... It took me almost 3 years to finally start loving myself. But, it works... and a lot of people actually find it hard to believe that 5 years ago, I hated myself so much that I just couldn't stand looking at myself in the mirror or even taking pictures of myself.



Anyway... I hope this will help out.
