Trust yourself — Self-confidence

Here are some ideas on the subject of self-confidence. Read into it…

Why is it that you always turn bright red when you give a presentation and the others are so confident? Why is it that you are the one who can’t talk to a guy or a girl without always having a lump in your throat? How is it that you say so little in discussions, although you would have enough ideas? Are you too shy, too uninteresting? Too…?

No! That’s not the reason. You certainly have enough brains and all the necessary qualities to get and experience what you want. What you lack is self-confidence. Without that, it’s very difficult.

You can learn self-confidence

But don’t be afraid! You can learn self-confidence. After all, you forgot it at some point. Because:

We are all born with a healthy self-confidence. In the course of life, some of it is often lost. Especially through our upbringing or the environment in which we grow up. And this is especially true for girls.

Gender differences in feedback

Because unfortunately, girls still get to hear more often than boys: “Don’t be so loud, so cheeky,…”. Well, and those who often have to listen to comparative or derogatory comments – e.g. “Typical that this happened to you, you’re just a walking mess.” – Who at some point also believes that he is out of order. Almost all of us have such a toxic depot of unpleasant sayings from those around us in our heads, and this toxic depot then hinders you when new challenges arise.

TIP:

Why do you need self-confidence?

Firstly, it helps you to realistically assess your strengths and weaknesses. And that in turn helps you to achieve your goals better. If you constantly underestimate yourself, you won’t get what you want and won’t achieve what you are capable of.

Secondly, self-confidence promotes a positive aura. And it depends on this charisma how others react to you. That is, whether others overlook you or find you interesting.

Thirdly, it simply makes you happy to be satisfied with yourself.

Self-confidence – not a question of type

Self-confidence depends very much on how well you manage to accept yourself, with all your strengths and weaknesses. And it doesn’t depend on whether you are a rather quiet or very bright type. Because self-confidence is not a question of temperament.
