Focus more on other people. When you lack confidence, you tend to obsess with thoughts about yourself. That can turn people off leading to their rejection of you, which further erodes your level of confidence. Instead, think about the other person or people you're around. If you're thinking positively about them, you'll feel less self-conscious and will be able to interact more positively with them - which is a win-win situation all round.
Think in terms of gratitude. When you think about what you
have to be grateful for, it puts you in a more positive frame of mind. Focusing
on your past successes, your loved ones, your talents and strengths, and all
the other good things in your life, raises your energy level and leads to much
greater confidence than when you dwell on the negative.
Volunteer. Whenever you volunteer to help
someone in need, whether it's someone you know who's going through a tough time
or a complete stranger, it makes you feel better about yourself. When you know
you're doing something to contribute to the wellbeing of others, your
confidence is given a boost.
Give yourself a break. Most people are much happier
and certainly more confident when they lighten up on themselves. Really, who
said you had to be perfect? If you develop a sense of humour about yourself, you
won't take yourself so seriously. When you're more relaxed and less critical of
yourself, you tend to do better in all situations.
