BUILDING YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE

Life is much easier for babies.. When you are a baby, you get all the love and attention in the world. I can imagine what goes on on babies' minds, oh! how confident they will be. People are confident when they are sorrounded by people that love, accept and praise them and babies have those which is why I say that life is easier for them..

Fast forward to adolescent and teenage days, you start schooling, mix up with people that are prettier and smarter than you. You start failing in some subjects, you parents establish rules that are not funny at all, your peers begin to bully you and back home your parents yell at you as well, life is not so easy anymore.. These things start eating up your self confidence little by little. If you are lucky to have supportive parents, the damage will be less but if you grew up in an abusive home where your loved ones kept throwing abusive words at you, it could be really bad. Your self confidence level will be down to zero and it will remain that way if you let it.

As long as you are alive, you will definitely be an adult or you are already.. And you have to make choices that will take your life to the next level, no one will make decisions for you and you can't make the best decisions with a zero confidence. Whether your self confidence is low in a particular area of your life or career or it is low in every area, it is left for you to build it up. You will have to make a decision to take control of your life, you won't always have people to pat your back, everyone will eventually get busy with their own life and you will be left alone to live your life own your own terms..

There are several ways to build your self confidence and be your best self and I will be sharing it in my next post.. So hold that thought and stay tuned.

Thanks for reading..

Exactly right @clayrawlings. Not funny but necessary stages one must pass through to grow up. If a child continues to get all the pats on the back and praises, he/she would most likely drift to the wrong decisions which might ended up for him/her to be very unhappy in life

Though some of the good pats will serve as an encouragement to the person but the absence of it will make the person stronger.

Excellent analysis as to how many people succumb to self doubt and end up living very mediocre and unfulfilling lives. No easy answers on this one. We do not get to choose our parents.

Hi @Clayrawlings,
Once we start thinking about others and their thoughts we are gone. Have to be focused and start believing on yourself.
Life simple formula

  1. Listen to everyone to maintain relationship.
  2. Don't take their words personally.
  3. Do what you want to do & stay focused.
    Thanks

Yea.. We do not choose our parents but we get to choose the type of person we want to be.. Thanks for reading..

There is no harm that for good does not come is to say that sometimes it is necessary to go through some experiences to grow and not hit us with the same stone twice! It is up to us whether to improve or remain stagnant
