Some tips on faking confidence?

Realize that there are almost 8 billion people on this planet. Everyone puts thier pants on 1 leg at a time, regardless of how rich or famous they are.

When you realize this you realize the only thing that makes someone special is what they mean to you, how they treat you, etc.

Then you realize there's NO REASON to not be confident. Because NO ONE is above you.

walk in a place like you own it.
Head up high, scan the room, nod your head once in a while, walk to either the hottest person and introduce yourself, make some small talk and walk away, or to your boss, owner of the company and do the same thing, then head for someone else and do the same thing.

You won't ever be able to get rid of those traumas by trying to fake your confidence. The only thing that will help to get rid of those traumas is talking to a really good therapist and by joining a support group.

I tried to fake my confidence but deep down my traumas always linger and it knocks me back down

The only real way is to start pushing your own boundaries. Slowly, play games against yourself. Date yourself to talk to random people. Once you are good, start pushing their boundaries (without disrespecting them or being mean). Do things like contradicting them, or make strong opinions in hard topics just to use yourself with the outcome. It’ll boost your confidence immensely, plus it’ll make you super charming and exciting to be around!

Find something you are good at like soccer or play instrument or whatever and continue to do it. People will note your talent or skill set and comment
