How do i build up my confidence and self esteem?
Im only in my early teens and i want to build up my confidence in life.. For example, when i want to say something, i just dont say it because im afraid of what people think… so basically its lack of confidence in my self… so people think im a shy person… i dont want to be labeled as a shy person… how do i build up my confidence and self esteem without appearing to be a try hard?
Thanks.
One thing, you can’t be afraid to make an as s of yourself. At some point you will say or do something to embarass yourself.
But more to the point it’s just a simple little step to say what is on your mind. You don’t have to make a speech, just say what you feel. Keep in mind though that when you speak people will listen and from that form their opinions of you. So, mind your manners, and think about what your saying and who your saying it to. I know opening my mouth has cost me way more than keeping it closed. To illustrate my point a quote my dad stole from somebody.
"It is far better to be thought of a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

You need to find the way of looking at things which is definitively yours, and yours alone.
Somewhere inside your heads lies the means with which all truth will be shown to you when you need it, or at least, all truth to the point of which it meets your own personal understanding of the concept of truth.

don’t stay too much at home or anywhere else where you always alone. go out, talk to people and smile to everyone. do not be afraid to commit mistake, its part of our life.
another problem with teenagers is the looking-glass self where they always compare themselves to other.
always remember that building self-esteem or self confidence have no definite process or steps. when you wake up in the morning and still in bed, think of what will happen for the day then rise up and breath deep, exhale and you’ll feel that positive feeling you may have for the whole day:-)

only got one life to live? i say live it! speak your mind! let people know who you are.if they don’t like you,who cares? if you don’t want to come off as a try hard than don’t try hard. let it flow, don’t center your attention on your appearance! focus on the people around you! vanity and shyness totally ruin peoples personalities. if people only like you for the way you look, dump them.find friends who want to be your friends for who you are not what you look or sound like. find people that will be there through thick and thin.and make sure you can be dorky and weerd and goof off with them.be yourself!
