How do you build confidance?

Answer 1

It is more difficult for one to build one's own confidence than it is for one to build confidence to that of someone else. Here are some things that will build confidence:

1) Encouragement, tell the person who needs the confidence that they will accomplish their goals through diligence (hard work), and determination to become a happy person. Make the person who needs the confidence understand that they have your support and the support of many groups of people who attend support groups to gain confidence.

2) Praise, tell the person who needs the confidence that they are doing a good job whenever you see any signs of confidence-progress in their living.

3) Esteem, try to get the unconfident person to do some type of volunteer work. Self-esteem comes from voluntary service to others. They won't be paid in money but they will be paid in self-esteem which is a major stepping-stone toward the goal of confidence.

4) Consistency, check in on the person who needs confidence regularly and ask them about their day and how their progress is coming along. Continue to encourage them and give them praise. Offer suggestions to volunteer and find places to volunteer for the person in need.

5) Spiritual interconnectedness, help the person find a way to be spiritually connected to any true form of spirituality. This will allow the person in need to connect with others besides yourself who may continue to help the one who needs confidence.
