I’ve always had a very weak character and I’m tired of being taken advantage of. I need to learn how to stand up for myself and put my own needs first when it’s necessary. It’s affecting my relationships with my friends, family & my boyfriend. Does anybody please have any tips or ideas on building confidence??
You build confidence by experience. Start off by not allowing people to take advantage of you. There is a difference between being nice and helping people and letting them take advantage of you.
Educate yourself with a degree. Not everyone has the knowledge to talk about every subject. Find a few subjects that you enjoy and try to learn everything you can about them. Then bring it up in a conversation and see how much your friends really know, basically try to stump them. That is a good confidence booster.
Surround yourself with successful people. Learn what the do and how they react to certain situations.
Use everyday to learn something new and enjoy life. Your confidence will improve as you experience life.
I hope this helps a little.

watch the documentary or read the book "The Secret" and look into some positive visualization excerisses and mantras some examples are listed below
every morning in the bathroom look in the mirro and repeat one, some or all of these several times by repeating to yourself everyday several times your subconsious starts absorb this and you will see that you will begin to act in confident ways once you respect and love yourself ppl will change their interactions with u.. It takes alot of work and wont happen overnight but if you stay focused it will change. Act confident even if u don’t feel like you are and u will start to see a change.. good luck =0
I am confident and comfortable with myself
I always put myself first ahead of anyone elses
I have a strong character
The more I respect myself the more others will love and respect me, the more_____ (your name) respect yourself the more others will respect me.The more she _____(your name) respects herself the more others will love and respect me..
