Poor self image?!


Question: How do you make yourself more confident?


Answers: How do you make yourself more confident?

Why are you depending on someone else to make you feel good about yourself?? It all starts with you. First, you have to want. That is obvious. We all can see that. Then, you have to take action. Sitting in a rowboat and waiting for the current to move the boat doesn't work...it takes someone to 'row' it. You have to be the moving force.
Enroll into some classes that you have an interest in and can feel good about. Have you thought about doing something on a volunteer basis? Reading to the blind, visiting the hospitals and doing something there? Cancer kids?? Lots of people need good people everywhere. Don't spend so much time thinking about 'poor you'. MAKE a difference. Before long, you won't even remember feeling badly about yourself, because you will see that you have made a difference and

Getting a haircut or making a new friend usually boosts my confidence.

focus on the positives =]

Through change. Hair, fashion, glasses to contacts or vice versa.

new clothes, perfume, change of attitude help too.......

Tell youself that you don't care what other people think of you. Look in the mirror and virbally tell yourself that your a good person, and your going to have a good day. It helps me. :P

there is really no way to make urself more self confident until u fix the thing ur self conscious about

just trust yourself and dont worry what poeple think

"Fake it 'till you make it."

ACT like you're always certain that you're never wrong, but never brag or talk about how great you are.

If you pretend long enough, it'll start working.

focus on your good qualities, not on your bad ones.

Look in the mirror every day and say "I am amazing. I look good. If i need to get **** done then I can do it. If I need to work out then I can do it. If I need anything then it will be done. I am amazing." Type it or something similar up and just repeat it everyday when you wake up. It will seem strange and stupid at first but it will brighten your day and things will start to go your way......

Spend a little time on yourself. Go shopping or do something fun. Look in the mirror and hold your head high, look yourself right in the eye and say, "I am cofident. I am a .........person and will have a great day." Don't focus on the negatives. Focus on the positives.

Try being able to do more tasks that you wanted to accomplish.
Start with small tasks, like waking up at a certain time, doing some chore or another, but it has to be for TODAY. Complete those taks, and set up more for the next day. Complete those, and continue on.
After a while, move on to bigger tasks. You could feel confident now that, if you have completed these tasks, you are reliable.

Face your fears.
Believe in yourself and think positive.

Working out, changing your body shape and getting new clothes, should boost your self image. Give yourself three months to change significantly.

I would start by trying to make your physical appearance more appealing to yourself. Having a confident appearance will help produce a confident mind. As for getting your mind to be self-confident, it is a bit trickier. I myself have trouble in this area. The best thing that works for me is to envision that im basically like a god or king. (someone who is very powerful). And I envision that everyone around me looks up to me and idolizes me. For some reason that gives me confidence and makes me feel good around others. But that probably wont work for everyone. Good luck though

You just have to keep telling yourself positive things. Instead of putting yourself down when you make a mistake, take a deep breath and remember. NO ONE IS PERFECT! NO ONE!!!!! That is the most important thing. So when you make a mistake tell yourself that it's okay and that you've learned from it. Take what you've learned and move on.

If you tell yourself that you're stupid, fat, ugly etc. you're going to believe it. Every morning, look yourself in the mirror and say, "I'm a good person." Talk to yourself about your good points. "I'm funny, smart, loyal etc..." You know you have good qualities. Let them out. Maybe you have to take some time to write them down.

If it's you're body that you're having trouble with, look at yourself in a full length mirror and point out all of the good aspects of your body. Maybe you have really beautiful eyes or hands or anything!

Smile. People will feel more comfortable around you if you're smiling. Let the true you shine through. People will notice.

Always remember... it's not the outside that counts. It really isn't!! If a person doesn't accept you for who you are, then it doesn't matter if you're the "hottest" person around. You are who you are. Be proud of it. If someone doesn't accept you for how you look, they don't deserve you. Anyone that would judge another person souly on their physical appearance doesn't deserve a good person. They deserve a person as shallow as themselves. It's THEIR problem. Not yours. THEY need to fix themselves. You just keep on going. Beauty will fade. It happens to EVERYONE. Find someone that you love and care for no matter what and find someone who will do the same for you.

Just because the people on TV and in movies look perfect doesn't mean that they are. There are a lot of things that help them look that way. Surgery, make up, lighting, Photoshop. Also, they have the money to hire personal assistants, dieticians, personal trainers, make up artists, hair stylists. They have the money to buy top of the line products. Obviously, they get a lot of help that normal people don't.

If you are a little over weight or even a lot, don't worry. Just eat healthy and stay physical. It's better to be healthy and in shape when you're bigger than to be unhealthy and not fit and be skinny. Being "in shape" doesn't mean that you have to be a size 0. You can be really skinny and not be healthy or in shape just as you can be large and be healthier and more in shape than the skinny people.

Society pisses me off with all they're made up standards. People just want to turn a profit. They don't take into account the damage that it does to others and they're self images.

The next time that you're thinking you can't, just say, "YES I CAN!" and then DO IT!
