I Want More Self-confidence

I often feel envy towards those who exhibit carisma and confidence. These are qualities that could open so many doors for me in life just as it has to other people.

Society favors those who have enough self-confidence to step up and manifest what they desire and speak with certainty. But for people like me it is an upwards slope. I was not born into money nor am I as beautiful as a lot of women out there so I can't feel that confidence that I crave.

I hate myself for being so introverted and lacking in charisma and social skills.

Well to get better at anything one must practice. Maybe you can practice starting a conversation with someone new :) anybody about anything around or going on :)

And it might be bad at first, but the first step is effort... and work on effort first getting into conversations before working good at being good at them :)

@Viper I’ll give it a try. Thank you for your suggestion : D

@Eithe You've very welcome :) And remember they can be short too :) just getting yourself into action is the first step :)

And some of them will be less than you expected... EVERYONE has that, even the best talkers... it's not about how good or bad it is... it's simply about slowly improving over time :)
