How to: Tutorials and Tips

5. How to be Confident

Wow! This book has almost 2000 reads! :P Thank you to everyone who has read it!

Anyway, this tutorial is 'Learing how to be Confident.' I know a lot of people struggle with confidence (including me) but these are some tips on how you can improve your confidence.

A song I really like which I think kind of suits this tutorial is "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas. :)

1. Appearing Confident:

To appear confident, you have to make sure that you feel comfortable with who you are. Never feel self- conscious about your body appearance or be pressured to be somebody you're not! Make sure you stand up straight, looking up, rather than down and always have a smile on your face! This will make you seem more approachable. Also, try to make eye contact when you talk to someone. This will show that you care and are really involved with a conversation.

2. Thinking Confidently:

Know your strengths and weaknesses! Think about what you're good at and what you enjoy and embrace that! You should also think of obstacles which stop you from being confident. Are you afraid of being judged, or of being awkward? This is all in the mind!- don't worry! Just be yourself, and you will be confident in no time. Think positvely and keep moving forward!

3. Everyone Struggles:

Just remember; everyone struggles with confidence whether it's about academics, criticism, public speaking, making friends or taking risks. Confidence is a process, not a singular achievement!

4. Practicing Confidence:

Always embrace your interests and hobbies but also embrace the unknown and take risks! Try new things so you can meet new people. Never be afraid to talk to a stranger (well unless they look like a serial killer O_O) . . . just kidding! Always accept compliments because it is sometimes special or hard for people to give compliments and for you to just decline it straight away or shrug it off may really hurt them. (I should really listen to myself because I hate accepting compliments.)

5. Other people:

Help others when they need it because it can benefit both you AND them. And if people put you down, they obviously don't deserve your friendship!

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."

― Bernard M. Baruch

I hope you loved these tips! I will probably edit them later because I have more ideas but I'm worried it might get boring or too long! Also, if you have any more tips, leave a comment and I'll add them in!
