Easy ways to be more confident?

[Anonymous]

My confidence is very low, however I have been trying to be more positive, dress better, talk louder...

Do things I wouldn't normally do...

What are some things that have helped you and might help me be more confident in day to day life?

When you are with crowds of people you will likely never meet again, practice speaking. Come as far out of your comfort zone as possible. This can be hard to do.

I remember someone told me about a way to work out where you take a deck of cards and whatever card you pull, thats how many pushups you do until you can't take it anymore but you don't stop until you physically can't go anymore.

Thats how you should treat these kinds of crowds. COme out of your shell as much as you can, then a little more. Getting confidence is like stretching. You hold a position for a while and it seems like you can't go further but after a minute or two you can inch further.

Let yourself get embarrassed a few times. Learn to let go and be lose.

Work on your posture. People have a much easier time respecting you if you have good posture. Watch TV and look an how the attractive guy who gets girls behaves. Look at his open body language, look at how he acts when something that would have been very embarrassing to you happens to him. He's embarrassed, he just knows how to deal with it and you'll only learn how to do it with practice.

I honestly don't even remember if I did anything, force yourself to engage in more conversations, do you have a social job?

My job is not very social, I work with the same people everyday... the one girl who was close to my age I fell in love with and she rejected me...

Is it office or? I don't know one thing god about my job is I was so worn out working in the summer heat every day I wouldn't feel shame for anything haha.

It's a warehouse, so mostly noisy, loud, lots of guys...

Ah.. haha

Come to think of it, I used to work in retail and my confidence was a lot higher, talking to girls everyday.. Being really good at my job...

Yeah it probably would help, mine didn't have that much interaction with girls. I got catcalled once on one of our job sites that was it. I don't know if it was exhaustion or what though but I had no self doubt at the end of every day.

Play pokemon go. Confidence is like a muscle, you have to stretch it out and build it up.

[Asker]

I don't know a thing about Pokemon except Ash and Pikichu

[cheeseysouffle]

It's alright. Anyone can learn how to play. It will get you out and about and you'll meet tones of new people without feeling overwhelmed.

[Asker]

Hmmm okay... Maybe I will try...

Improve yourself and self confidence will follow. Maybe buy a gun and a sports car. That's what most insecure guys do.

Whenever I'm afraid of doing something I say to myself fuck it. I'm doing it. And then I go after what I want.

Just my perspective

Working out can help a lot.
