It took me starting college to realize, I was not as confident in myself as I thought. I found myself overly judging people's personalities, relationships and I found myself questioning if I was actually confident in myself or trying to fake confidence to appear a certain way. To be honest, I don't think I started feeling confident in myself until I learned to distance myself from my friends (not saying I completely cut them off). But to grow, you cannot let others' opinions and beliefs cloud who you are.
These are the tips I followed subconsciously that has allowed me to build my confidence while in college.
Now mind you, being confident in yourself and building your confidence isn't a matter of waking up and boom your 100% more confident in yourself (this is not a 15sec commercial), no it is continuing progress. I believe that you can only be confident in yourself if there are things you can be self-assured in all things that are your insecurities.
Tip #1:
Take time out of your day to figure out what you want out of life and how you want to be seen.
Tip #2:
Write down physically or internally what you are good at and things you can do to better at the things you are weak at.
Tip #3:
Focus on building up your personal health in regards to everything. Meditate, go to yoga sessions, go to the gym, eat healthily, listen to positive music, watch podcasts, hang out with more positive people. Take control of your life.
Now, I would give you more tips but those wouldn't be things I used to build confidence just generall things a wiki how-to would teach you. I want to be personal on this blog page and using the three tips listed above repeatedly ever week and every month has 100% built my confidence into what it is today.
I know longer feel as though I am a different person when I am with other people. I know longer feel as though someone else's personal decisions will impact me (IDK why I ever cared that much about others lol). I know longer feel insecure about what I bring to the table or any relationship because I know what I have to offer. I know who I am, and I am in love with myself because of my focus on Tip #1 and Tip #3, more specifically Tip #3. Tip #3 has allowed me to get my body in shape, clear my mind, and surround myself with positive energy.
Ending note, how you build confidence by building up your personal self-esteem (Tip #2 all the way). Wonder why athletes are so confident in themselves it's because they are good at what they do. I'm telling you from personal experience write down what you are good at and you will realize you have a lot to proud of and confident about for yourself and not for others to be proud of. Once you start doing things to better yourself, you gain confidence in the progress you are making and you wear that over your entire being.
