How Do I Gain Confidence In Myself?

try your best not to think negative thoughts about yourself. whenever a bad thought runs through your mind, shut it out,block it, stop it from having an impact on you.

don't look at the bad side all the time. forget about your weakness for a moment; think about your strengths. you could try this exercise if you want:

take a piece of blank paper and fold it in half.

on one half,list all the special things in you. there should be at least ten good points.

on the other half,list all the bad ones.

take time to fill them up.don't rush it...find a place where you can be alone and at peace.

once you're done,tear the two halves up to separate them. throw the negative points [you can recycle it if you want to] and stick up the good points in your bedroom/study desk. so every time you feel down, look at that piece of paper...it will remind you of your good qualities.

another simple task is to wake up in the morning and think positive thoughts for about 2 minutes. maybe during shower or changing your clothes or even just as you open your eyes. it helps you start the day feeling good. and before you sleep,repeat this exercise.

whenever you say bad things, just tell yourself that it was an accident and you will be more careful next time. think before you speak.

do things that makes you feel good...a hobby or an interest.

exercise! it releases endorphins,the feel good hormone

eat healthy.practise a balanced diet and eat fresh food.

have a healthy social life. and good friends who motivate you.

This is going to sound stupid but I'm being 100% serious.

Fake an aire of self-confidence with a girl that you don't know very well yet, or a girl you've just met. See if you can talk a good game and maintain her interest. You'll know it's working if she laughs a lot, twirls or touches her hair a lot, forgets what to say, etc. If you can pull it off, you'll start to develop actual confidence from these experiences and you won't even have to think twice about what kinda stuff you're good at and what your strong points are. A few positive experiences with the preferred sex are all it takes to become a new man.

I read a lot of your questions and I really do hope it turns out well for you. Let me know what happens, ok?

Practice darling! The more that you put yourself into a situation the more that you'll have to make yourself improve. Try situations where you'll meet nice girls that aren't interested in fake guys... Like a pottery class or church group. While you're there make yourself converse with at least 2 girls that you think are date-able and 2 nice guys (so that you don't look like you're out to pick up girls). Try this once a week for several months until you get the hang of it... Oh, and one more thing. This technique really works. Act. Pretend like you're an incredibly confident, lovable guy. Ask yourself questions like what would (insert confident guy here) do in this situation and then do it. Before you know it, you will be that confident person. Good luck!

Here are common and effective ways to build self-confidence: 1) Exercise. Yup, believe it or not, regular exercise builds self-esteem and confidence. Setting exercise and fitness goals can contribute even more. 2) Establish Healthy Daily Habits. Set reasonble body maintenance and hygeine habits and maintain them. This includes good diet, regular grooming, dressing for confidence, dental care, etc. 3) Set Reasonable Goals. Make sure these goals are bite-size so you don't get overwhelmed or frusturated. You want to be able to succeed. Goals should be both fun and challenging. 4) Change Your Thoughts. Ask yourself if your concepts/thoughts about your self-esteem are really true. Are you really and truly as horrible looking as you tell yourself that you are? Are you really and truly that horrible at your job? Are any of your self-deprecating thoughts actually reasonable? I bet that they aren't. We tend to allow ourselves to think things that aren't realistic, and introspection can reveal that we are indulging in silly thoughts like this. I'm suggesting that you take a critical look at your thoughts and if you realize that you're sometimes thinking things that aren't real, well you can throw those thoughts out and decide to think more useful thoughts.

how about one zillion techniques? Please go and look about in any bookshop. It might actually help you if you read some 'positive thinking' books without taking the brainwashing part too seriously.

And first thing first: are you sure you show your interest in girls as clear as you would like the girls to show interest in you? (This sentence is not grammatically correct, but I guess you understand what I mean) Lots of luck. It will happen when you let it go.
