How do you get more confidence?

Answer 1

Confidence is something you can't fake, you've truly got to believe in yourself for people to sense it, theres nothing to stop people giving you tips however ...

Im guessing this is about getting the confidence to ask someone out, even if it isn't this will still apply. A thing I used to do when I wasn't full of confidence like I am now, was think to myself "F*** it, you only live once", believe me it has a bigger effect than you might expect, to further explain myself, its scenario time !

*Your stood a good distance away from the guy/girl you want to go out with, preparing to ask them*

First of all your immediate thought is "Im not good looking, he/she will say no straight away and all their friends will laugh as I take the walk of shame back to my seat" ... heres where that voice in your head jogs on and confidence knocks on the door, "Ok, lets say I bail out and don't go through with it, what if i got hit by a car on the way home and was in hospital waiting to die (I know that's awful, but you need to paint a very dark picture of what could happen if you DONT ask them, rather than what bad things could happen if you did), I'd never know if they would've said yes ... and to add to it I spent the last day worrying what 4 or 5 retards around them thought about me. All i'd be able to do would be to lay there regretting every opportunity i didn't take, and for what ? To save abit of embarrassment ? ... Not on my watch sonny Jim !"

*Walks over without the slightest care of the consequences, asks said person out, and due to the fact you couldn't care less what happens, they'll usually say yes because they can sense your confidence.*

Even if they say No, just say "No worries", smile (whilst looking into their eyes) and walk away, that's basically like saying "I couldn't give a toss if you say no, you just missed a BIG opportunity to be with an awesome person", and believe me, they'll know it. What if they laugh? If they laugh it's because THEIR embarrassed that you weren't affected by their rejection when they expected you to be, and then they will usually regard you as higher than them or at least respect you more.

Remember, problems are never as bad as they seem at the time, its usually because your minds focused so much upon it and by doing that it's made it worse. Good luck, and don't give a toss what anyone thinks about you !

Answer 2

To have confidence, one must have faith in his or her self. Confidence is also a feeling of self-assurance, so it is always with you. It only comes out when you have enough strength and faith. To gain confidence you must also have to accept yourself and stay on the same level with people.
