Why do some people get all the self confidence?

Not fair 😾 *Stamps foot. Pouts*

Confidence isn't something you're born with. You have to want and fight for it.
No one can do it for you.
Confidence in yourself is by stepping out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself to try through small
acts of courage every single day.

Mindfulness

@Dusty101 This! ☝❤

No one can do it for you.

Having supportive people around you can improve your self confidence. Having negative people around you can do the opposite.

I'll buy you some for your birthday. But you should have a good bit of natural self-concidence. You're pretty awesome from what I can tell.

Self confidence comes from you. You have to foster and develop it

Dusty101 · F

@SW-User excellent answer!

@Keepitsimple I... I don't feel so good now...

Keepitsimple · 56-60, F

@GeistInTheMachine I know…I should have worn red :(

Fake it till you make it

@SW-User Amen. Beat me to it.

A lot of confidence is just experience. People can't take experience away.

So if you're feeling like you're not confident. Do practice runs. Go out on a Tuesday night if you're not feeling confident on the weekends.

The first step is to verbally manifest by complimenting yourself repeatedly and I took it one step further in wearing little- nothing all of the time…

Wiseacre · F

You get self confidence from people who support u and believe in u..usually family. Lacking it does not make u flawed..u can work on it.

@kittencat I got plenty more where that came from. My music taste is eclectic.

You've got good taste! Glad you liked it.

@SW-User I'm deleting my responses on this one because I've gone too deep on someone where I shouldn't have.

Dusty101 · F

@Keepitsimple yeah, I just think it's seedy behaviour with a nonchalant attitude.

AbusedNeglected · 41-45, M

Because they have some skills in emotional and psychological manipulation.

kittencat · 41-45, F

@AbusedNeglected A need for control and power over others is a mask for insecurity and/or psychopathy.

AbusedNeglected · 41-45, M

@kittencat don’t forget narcissism

kittencat · 41-45, F

@AbusedNeglected Narcissists are insecure

Some people are just better than others 😆

kittencat · 41-45, F

SW-User

@kittencat nope

kittencat · 41-45, F

@SW-User Then you should Google it because it's kind of a thing

Use daily affirmations. At some point you will start believing it.
