How to Become a Confident Person When You are Naturally Shy – Vol. 476, Nov. 15, 2018
Let us first explore the reasons why someone may be shy, or suffering from social anxiety:
- You don’t feel worthy of love and attention
- You don’t believe you have anything of interest to say
- You don’t feel that you are as valuable as other people
- You feel that you always “mess” up in social situations
Here are some things that you can do to counteract these feelings and false beliefs:
- Get dressed in clothes that you feel great in – stop dressing in sloppy “comfortable clothes.” Why? Because people who look nice and dress respectfully to themselves will get complimented. This can only improve your self-esteem, so long as you truly own it.
- Stand with your back straight and head up – instead of with your head down and back slumped. It is amazing what a decent posture can do to increase your sense of self and your energy.
- You have heard it before and you will hear it again – get regular exercise – doing something that you enjoy – dancing, biking, playing sports – you will get into better physical and emotional shape and get those endorphins released, making you feel happy.
- Eat healthy food – one item foods that you put together, staying away from processed crap, that saps your energy and makes you feel like crap. Why? Because your body needs the nutrients found in real food to function appropriately – all that other stuff, your body has no idea what to do with.
- Share positive input with others, compliment them, do something nice for someone just for the hell of it. Few things bring more happiness into your life.
And here is one exercise that I give to my eating disorder kids: Look in the mirror and find some aspects of yourself that you truly love about yourself. I have never had a client unable to find something they like about their appearance.
And here is another: Think about those aspects about your personality that you like. Again, I have never had a client, no matter how depressed who couldn’t find something they liked.
If you do these things, you will start to find you are better able to “fit in” feeling more confident about your self. You may not be ‘outgoing’ but you don’t need to be. All that is required is for you to build up your self-confidence which is tied to your self-confidence. It is truly freeing to break through, so have fun with it and you will find out for yourself.
