Self-confidence is a specific form of protection from the world. Someone who is confident, shows that they will not allow others to manipulate them or meddle in their private affairs. A man sure of himself also wants much of the world and is convinced of his value. He knows what he deserves, he knows that he has the right and duty to develop and require the world's support in realising his plans and dreams.
Self-confidence attracts others, giving to the one who is confident, a sense of being valuable, respected and imitated - and everyone likes this. It shows that it is worth being self-confident. For those who are unsure, good news - it can be learnt. However, you have to pluck up the courage, because the suggestions below are not for cowards and people avoiding challenges. So how do you practice self-confidence? Read on for our personal development top tips.
Regularly do something you have not had the courage and desire to do
If you always moved aside, isolated yourself from the group of co-workers who went to lunch, change it. Get the courage and firstly join them. In the next step, invite the whole group to have a beer after work. They will all suddenly open their eyes - Oh! The one who never spoke, suddenly came out of the shadows! You'll see how well you will start to feel with that. Maybe you even find some friends in this group.
Charm people around you
When you start saying nice things to others, pay compliments, not over the top but sincere compliments, you will become a liked person. And that perfectly enhances self-confidence. People will start to reciprocate you with the same, noticing qualities in you that you probably either did not appreciate, treating them as normal or not even noticed.
When you turn a sting of jealousy of someone's abilities into real respect for someone, who has devoted years to perfect themselves, it would appear that people will like you as a person who is able to appreciate others. It is also important that you feel sympathy and respect for yourself - as someone who knows how to appreciate others. This is a very important skill very strongly influencing the sense of confidence.
Meet people and show them your passions
Do not hide in your house, away from the world, because there you will not develop self-confidence. Meet people, smile at them, talk to them in the most trivial situations (e.g. when you buy vegetables, ask the lady behind the counter, how is she and her daughter). If you have a passion, find like-minded people and share with them your preferences. You'll see how confident you will become, when a group of professionals will appreciate you.
