How To Be Confident When
Others Treat You Harshly
Knowing how to be confident is a critical life skill and learning
how to gain confidence is easier than many think.
Most highly successful people are known to be confident.
They know how to gain confidence and they understand the
importance of improving self confidence in the face of
resistance from other people.
That is why knowing how to be confident is so very important...
There are times when others will treat you harshly even if
you don´t deserve such treatment. Do you know how to be
confident when this happens?
The resulting lack of self-confidence is sometimes made
worse by the way you talk to yourself...Don´t despair
learning how to be confident is really only a matter of
strategy
And thankfully it is easier than you think to learn how to
gain confidence when you correctly answer the question:
what is confidence?
Improving self confidence only requires that you find a
strategy that works and use it!
It does no good to think negative thoughts about yourself
and admonish yourself for "saying the wrong thing" to
someone or feel that you've messed up again in your
relationship with others. Doing so will not help you to
be confident. Improving self confidence starts with
a positive attitude.
This type of thinking only further reinforces the fact that
you have little or no self-confidence. It does not help you
when it comes to improving self confidence
You are someone special. You are smart. You are
interesting and appealing to others.
And you can learn how to be confident even if you
sometimes wonder - what is confidence and how
can you gain confidence?
You have a message for the world, and you need to learn
to get the message out. A few suggestions here can help
you to be confident so as to project the image you want
the world to see.
1. It's not always about you. Maybe the person you think
slighted you has had a bad day, or heaven forbid, maybe the
person just isn't nice. So What? You can still be confident
despite their bad attitude.
You can turn the situation around by asking some general,
interesting questions about the person. This may bring the
person out of the bad mood and who knows, you might put a
little sunshine into someone else's life for a change. The point
is if you want to be confident don´t wait for others to allow you.
2. Quit taking everything so personally if you want to be confident.
Knowing how to be confident is a critical life skill and learning
how to gain confidence is easier than many think.
Accept the fact that some people just aren't socially adept, and
they may have even less self-confidence than you do. They may
need lessons on how to be confident too!
Don't let someone else spoil your day. Don't respond to
negative feelings and above all, don't let yourself be
provoked. Think positive to keep your emotions in check.
Negative thoughts sap your energy and serve no purpose
and to be confident all day long you must stay positive.
3. Do you think you're the only one out there who gets
rejected? Think again! There are selfish people who only
think "me, me, me" to the exclusion of everyone else.
Knowing how to be confident is easier when you
accept that others face and deal with the same challenges.
Even the most successful people are rejected
(singer/songwriter Rod Stewart was rejected several times
because his voice was "too gravelly and coarse." He didn't
give up and today is rich and famous.)
If you really want to know how to be confident and gain confidence
you must learn to deal with rejection. What is confidence?
The ability to keep going in the face of rejection and feel
good anyway!
4. Don't give up. The old saying, "if at first you don't
succeed, try again" holds true for the person with no
self-confidence. To be confident keep focusing on
what you can do.
If things don't go your way, come up with an alternate
plan. If that's not accepted (remember, it not about you;
it's about an idea) keep trying and persisting - this is a great
way to learn how to be confident by gradually improving self
confidence with each challenge you face.
5. Stop focusing on yourself and dwelling on your perceived
shortcomings all the time. Focus instead on your goals and
what you have to do to achieve them. This is critical when
working on how to be confident.
Stop talking about yourself all the time. Other people get
tired of hearing about you constantly. Concentrate on a
genuine conversation about other people and other topics.
With a little self-help, you can overcome your feelings of
inadequacy and learn how to gain confidence. Before long
you will be confident more often than you are not.
While you are honing your skills at becoming confident, the
image you want to project is one of a person who is in
command of self and someone worth knowing and sharing ideas
and conversations with.
Make sure to use these ideas today and enjoy a very happy
and confident week now that you know more about
gaining confidence.
Imagine how good you will feel exuding confidence and charm,
impressing family and friends as your true personality shines
