10 Proven Tips to Build Self-confidence

=Thread=
Self-confidence is a tool that can help you manage your fears, tackle life’s challenges with more certainty, and maintain a positive mental attitude.

It helps you in:

- Being your best under stress
- Influencing others
- Feeling valued
- Being happier
- Being sexier
But no one is born with limitless self-confidence. It’s something that you learn to build up.

So if you’re an introvert or extremely shy around people; these tips can help you build yourself:
1. Stop Caring About What Other People Think

To feel accepted is a desire in everyone.

Too much concern about what people think can lead us to value only what others want from us, rather than what we desire.

- Let go of perfection
- Get to know yourself
- Find your tribe
2. Look At What You’ve Already Achieved

Make a list of all the things you’re proud of in your life.

When you’re low in confidence, pull out the list and use it to remind yourself of all the awesome stuff you've done.
3. Smile

Smiling in a social situation tells people that you are open and friendly.

It makes you approachable and memorable. A great smile can help boost self-confidence and improve your social experiences.
4. Stop Comparing Yourself

You should accept that there are always people who do better than you no matter how good you are.

Focus on your strength.

Comparing yourself with others lowers your self-esteem.

Remember you are your greatest competitor.
5. Set Goals

They don’t have to be big goals!

Start with small achievements that you can tick off a list to help you gain confidence.

- Start working out
- Go for a trip
- help some people
...

You get the idea!
6. Get a Hobby

Find something you’re really passionate about. Some examples:

- Sports
- Writing
- Cooking
- Photography

Hobbies will:

- Force you to take some time for yourself
- Provide a way to declutter your mind
- Keep you in better physical health
- Open up your world
7. Do The Uncomfortable

Confidence is being comfortable in situations that would make people uncomfortable.

Get out of your comfort zone and you’ll see after a while you’ll have a larger tolerance for most situations.

What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.
8. Choose Your Circle

Your group of friends can influence your behavior. Most probably you think and behave how they think and behave.

So for you to improve your confidence, surround yourself only with people who motivate you to become more confident and make you feel confident
9. Read

People who read for pleasure:

- Have greater levels of self-esteem,
- Are less stressed,
- Can act better in tough situations.

Start reading and improve your brain connectivity.

10. Stay Committed And Patient

With commitment and effort, you can build your self-confidence. It's not some kind of gift that you are born with.

By practicing the right actions, you'll be taking giant steps to build it.
