Question Posted Friday November 24 2006, 4:43 pm

Theres this girl in my school, & shes like amazing. She has alot of confidence in herself & everything. But, shes not stuck up. Shes really nice to everyone. And shes like just every girl would wanna be like, i'm not over exaggerating at all. You never see her embarressed, or shy or anything.

How do I become more confident in who I am?

The best way to exude confidence is to find out who you are and work it. Just like celebrities make a name for themselves with their talents in music, acting, etc... find something that you are good at and make it your trademark. Like to design clothing? Learn how to make you own one-of-a-kind clothes and cute acessories. Have a passion for acting? Try out for your school play. Nothing will give you more confidence than persuing something you love and being who you are.

Secondly, you need to learn the fine art of being graceful. Things are not always going to be perfect. You won't always wake up with catwalk-worthy hair. People will talk about you and it is not always going to be nice. You will do stupid things and people will laugh at you. You are not always going to suceed at everything you try to do. Sometimes you will fail horribly. You must accept these things. The truth is, it's not what happens but how you deal with it that means the most. Confident people know how to laugh at themselves even in the most troubling of situations. So the next time you trip in front of your crush, don't just blush and scurry away. Look him in the eyes, flash him a smile, collect your stuff, and walk away with your head high.

A lot of shyness stems from a fear of rejection and ridicule, and you will also near to deal with this obstacle. Strive to always do whatever you choose to do with 100% of your heart. Dive into things and take a chance. If you fail, take it as a learning experience and handle it gracefully. Don't let the fear of failure stop you.

I hope my tips help you be more confident.

The key to confidence is finding the positives about yourself and stop comparing yourself to others. Blah blah blah, I believe you've heard it before.

-You could do the classic look in a mirror and say five good things about yourself each night.
-You could write things down that you did that day that your happy or proud about.
-You could go out get a haircut, a manicure, by a new shirt and try to freshen things up.
[Treating yourself to little things can make a big difference.]
-Try wearing your hair in a new style. [Changing things up brings in complements which also greatly help with a girl's self esteem]

Then, try to work on your personality.
If you've got a nasty comment, keep it to yourself! Never say anything bad about anyone unless its to a person such as your mom that you are 100% sure will never tell. You don't need some rumor flying around that you might of started.

Try looking at the positives of life and HONESTLY complementing 10 people a day. Activley listen to other people and discourse with them. Once they see that you're paying attention they'll be more interested in paying attention to you and you'll make many many more friends this way.

Also, try to be friends with EVERYONE.
I'm not saying change to be like people.
I'm saying just cause someones a nerd, don't alienate them. You don't have to call them up and schedual a sleepover, but if they ask you a question a polite answer is suitable (not a rolling of the eyes)

Just stay happy.
Keep smiling.
Have fun.

Good Luck <3

I don't understand. Do you want to date her or be like her?

How to become more confident. Well, focus on the good things in your life, the things you do really well. Look at your strengths, not your weaknesses. All humans are equal in value, and you are no exception.
