Search Results: learn to talk to guys with confidence

If you have time pls read and answer this too. As a teen I used to be EXTREMELY down on myself. No confidence or self esteem, name any physical attribute on my body at all and I will tell you what I thought was wrong with it. Everyone around me would scold me for criticizing myself so harshly. Now that I have FINALLY grown out of those insecurities and accept myself as I am, I feel confident, I like how I look, but I NEVER express it in any way, so the response from others has been very strange. In my new workplace of about 50ppl I hear comments from guys talking to eachother, things like ''oh she thinks she's so sexy...'', ''she thinks all the guys are inlove with her...'', ''she thinks she is hotter than other girls...'' nothing close to what I actually think lol, I feel like I just recently grew out of years of self hate and learned how to love myself, but I don't love myself THAT MUCH. And the thing is this is not the first time, last place I worked I heard similar comments. I've been trying hard to understand how am I sending this vibe? I dress very casually, not revealing, I hardly ever wear makeup, I don't talk about my own or other appearances at all, I am not stuck up, nice to everyone, the only thing I can think of is I am a bit shy and quiet so perhaps they think I'm stuck up. So what could it be? How could they possibly come to conclusions like this?
