Confidence is something that I think a lot of people struggle with but don’t always talk about because it’s hard. Personally, I have struggled with being confident for most of my life. This has led me to not always say what’s on my mind and to not feel good enough to put myself out there in a lot of situations.

It is hard when you’re not confident in yourself to become confident in yourself. For some reason, your mind won’t take in any of the good things people say about you or any of the accomplishments you make. You only focus on the negative things which keep you from moving past them.

I always have wanted to be more confident. Many people have told me that other people like it when you’re confident and that is the only way I would eventually end up in a relationship. This, while it may be true, is hard to hear because confidence is not something that you can fully obtain overnight; it is something you have to work on.

Becoming more confident is different for everyone, but choosing to do things you’re good at and things that make you feel good is a good place to start. You will begin to feel more confident in yourself because you will feel that you’re good at something and can share that with others.

Another good way to gain confidence is to listen to the good things people say to you about you. I know sometimes it is hard to accept compliments that are things you don’t even believe to be true about yourself, but people wouldn’t say these things if they didn’t believe them. Believe the good things people say to you and use them as the foundation for thinking good things about yourself as well.

Becoming confident may not be the easiest process. You will have tough days where you feel down and are hard to yourself, but remember that it is a process and this process will only make you feel better and better as you work through it. There is no final stage of being confident in yourself, no one is confident 100% of the time, but when we reach a point where we feel confident in ourselves more of the time than we don’t, I think we’ll be good.
