How can i feel more confident?!
Question: How can i feel more confident.?
Im quite shy, and ive just tarted a new school and i hardly know anyone! I love to make people laugh but i am mostly just awkward and too shy, and i have hardly any self confidence. but when im with people i know i have a laugh, its just i don't really know anyone yet - so what can i do to make me have more confidence.? I don't want to blend into the crowd, i just want to be happier with myself. I wear such stupid granny clothes because i sometimes get panicky when i try stuff on in shops, even though i love clothes, so i end up wearing my mums cast offs. I would love to wear makeup but im scared ill make a fool out of myself. How can i just be happy with myself more.? Health Question & Answer

Speaking from my personal experiences, the ways that I usually feel more confident is by dressing very nice, making sure my nails are done, my hair looks nice and my makeup is right. Talk with your mom or a friend to help you through this process - esp the makeup & nails. When we look good, we feel good, and we portray more confidence. I also try to keep up on current events, books, movies, things that like so I can speak somewhat intelligently to others. I try to know a little about alot of things! I wish you all the best, don't worry, you will be great! Health Question & Answer
Try writing down a few statements of how you would like to feel and say them in the mirror everyday. If you would like to feel confident write down things like, "I am not afraid of other's opinions", "I would look great in____", and so on. If there is a situation where you feel timid, then play back those sayings and repeat them and you should feel a little more at ease.Health Question & Answer
Wear what you think looks great and keep reminding yourself of how great you think you look in it. Don't dwell too much on what othe rpeople might think, just focus on what you think is great about yourself.Health Question & Answer
yeah I agree Write down the PRO's as well as the Con's about yourself
then you'll just see that there's NOT much wrong with you!
I mean lets look at the obvious Pro's you DO have!
*Sense of humor* CHECK!
*Kind* i would say CHECK!
*Lovely personality* from what i can see by the way you write and the thoughts your mind comes up with you seem like an okay girl to me!
NOW the Con's
*Shy well everyone is a bit timid now and then especially in awkward situations like meeting new people or a boy/girl you really like!
*low self esteem (no confidence) this can be a problem I suggest you write down five GOOD things about yourself and five BAD things You THINK about yourself then weigh them up
maybe it won't seem so bad then..
also if you still have Confidence issues Read a self help book or go to see someone who deals with social inadequacies ( i.e a Shrink) I would suggest this only as a last resort!
