Crysta-Ann answered Wednesday January 5 2005, 9:18 pm: To become confident, all you have to do is act confident. You'll probably be pretending for a while, and it might be a little weird at first, but fear not! When you walk, keep your head high and shoulders back, don't slouch. When you sit at your desk, do the same thing. When people are talking about something, just express your views to them, if you disagree, tell them, and tell them why, don't worry about sounding stupid, people respect a person who is open and confident looking. Adding a sarcastic comment here and there never hurts either, but you don't have to. Also, smile alot, laugh, have fun! Pretend like you're just hanging with your close freinds, that you can be yourself around, and before you know it, you'll be the most onfident, admired person around!

JSIMT answered Friday December 31 2004, 3:34 pm: I used to care what others thought about me, and everything...Then in 9th grade i just looked around and i thought...whats the reason for them putting me down? and then I thought " well, its not cuz there jealous, but its because im probably an easy target" I changed myself right there, I made it so i wasnt an easy target lol, and now...I have people scared to cuss me out and stuff because they know i dont care theyre just scared to say stuff about me because they know i wont be scared to comfront them and make theyre life miserable. Like this one chick...she tried to make my life a living hell. didnt work, we were both in chourus and i have her mouth numbing stuff that LOOKED like Lipgloss, and she made a fool out of her self and NEVER did she try to make my life a living hell again, she actually came up to me and said " You are absolutley unbreakable, I cant get under your skin, so i give up" , now, dont get me wrong im not mean and im not a bully, im actually only 5 feet tall...and I have a realllllly big heart, just not to those who try to mess with me :) and i never have anythign against anyone until they do something to ME persoanlly, just keep your head up and dont care at all!

jesuschick answered Friday December 31 2004, 3:19 pm: Well, if you want more confidence, you just have to think more highly of yourself. Think of all the good things about you, do things that make you feel good. But also, try some new things. Make goals that are tough but realistic, like getting on honor roll, for example. Once you reach some goals, you'll get more and more pumped!! Just have faith in yourself, but don't get too cocky. No one likes someone too stuck up! As for a new attitude about showing people you don't care about what they say, that's easy. Don't care about what they say. You want to be real, not fake. So if you want the new attitude just start thinking that way. It'll all come from there. Good luck with everything! [ jesuschick's advice column | Ask jesuschick A Question ]
YoshiP162 answered Friday December 31 2004, 2:16 pm: Well, if you want to gain more confidence, think good about yourself! Think positive! Don't be that kind of, "what if" person who thinks of all the negative things in life. It doesn't matter what people say, and if you wanna think like that, don't imagine about people might say about you. When you wanna do something, do it w/ out thinking about other people. It's YOUR decision whether you wanna do it or not. The only way to think this way is to not think of other people, but only YOU! In other words , when you make a decision, think about you! Think about what's BEST FOR YOU instead of what's best for other people. Good Luck! [ YoshiP162's advice column | Ask YoshiP162 A Question ]

Scribble answered Friday December 31 2004, 9:30 am: The best way to become confidant is to ignore the disparaging comments of those around you and the best way to do THAT is to learn to laugh at yourself. Recognise your own faults and failures, then realise they don't matter. Being able to use self- deprecating humour makes you seem confident and discourages people from being nasty to you in future.

TrUtH_hUrTs_1 answered Friday December 31 2004, 9:03 am: start by not caring what we say...and then when you hear someone making a doragoatory (sp?) comment about you, act as if you didnt hear it, and after a while you WONT hear it anymore.
