How To Develop Self Confidence
The role of confidence in a person’s success is essential. Success is hard to achieve if you do not have confidence in yourself. It is understandable that not everyone easily have self-confidence but the good thing about it is that it can be improved. Self-confidence can be achieved one step at a time. The great speakers who delivered the greatest speeches also took some time in order to accomplish their tasks. The feeling of fear and the possibility of failure are detractors to anyone’s self-confidence. You are the only one who could change this.
Below are tips to develop your own self-confidence:
1) Look at Yourself and Change Your Perception. It is best to start with how you see yourself. When you learn to accept yourself, you will easily learn that others will also accept you. Never down yourself and feel less important because if you do, others will perceive you as this as well. If you think you need a makeover to feel better then do it. It is very important that you accept yourself for who you really are. If you decide to have a makeover, then go shop for new clothes, get a new haircut. Whatever you look in the end, the important part is that you finally accept yourself and increase your confidence.
2) Observe Other People. You can see thru others how they utilize their confidence. Observe the successful people or the most outgoing ones, they have definitely mastered being self-confident. Once you have observed carefully, you can eventually incorporate it within you. Choose vital points that are positive that you want to emulate, then incorporate.
3) Confront Your Fear/s. Having low self-confidence typically coincides with having a fear of something which holds you back. If your fear is talking to a huge crowd of people, then you should work on it. You can practice by talking to a group of friends, then choose a larger group as your confidence starts to build up.
4) Strengths & Weaknesses. At this point, you already have analyzed yourself, others, and your fears. It is now time to know your strengths and weaknesses. Even though you are on the stage of rebuilding your self-confidence, never forget that you also have a positive side. You also have good features that you can enhance once you have acquired better self-confidence. The weaknesses that you would realize should be well-focused on. You can work on them one by one. As soon as you eliminate each weakness, you can eventually find yourself with more strengths.
5) Compliment Others. Always remember that it feels good to receive good words from other people, so give good words to others as well. The more you compliment other people, the more other people can return the favor. A compliment from another person definitely provides a huge boost with regards to one’s self-confidence.
Self-confidence seems hard to gain especially if you have been a shy person ever since you were a kid. But it’s never too late to change. Find the confidence in yourself and enhance it. Always remember that in the end, you will always control the outcome of your life. So go and build your confidence up, believe in yourself.

One thing that definitely helps in boosting the self confidence is to build the body language of a self confident person. Actually its not self-confidence you need to work on n build internally coz its already in you , all you have to do is to start behaving as a self confident person.

Abosolutely I agree with Ramaraobobby
Self-esteem is so important, and yet we often overlook it when trying to figure out why our life isn’t “working” for us. I loved reading about Jae’s story. I think those of us who are our own bosses can relate.
Thanks man y r the best……
I came across this page while looking over Google and just wanted to thank you for the interesting blog entry. It made me think about another webpage Hooponopono. I will have to add this site to my favorites so that I can return again! Thanks!
This is something I constantly battle with and for me it isn't really what I think other people think of me, but more so what I think about me. And a lot of it comes back to constantly building yourself up with positivity.
This question is for people who have suffered from having a low self esteem and low self confidence in the past, i'm just curious as to ways YOU personally, developed high self confidence and high self respect?

I used to be a winner in most of cases. But I think I am loosing my self confidence now-a-days. I am feeling inferior. I am no more a winner now.

I have the same issue, too.
if u want to develop your self confidence you need to be ready and open minded. Don't stop trying when you feel rejected when making small talk during a party.
Programmers here are musc more interested in knowing the latest technology on platforms like cloud computing, Android etc…
True self-confidence isn't an overnight acquisition. It takes dedication to realize you are a good human being that is worthy of respect and love.
well very well said Success is hard to achieve if you do not have confidence in yourself.
good work i like your stuff…
another great way is to work on your body language. Just as inner beleifs are reflected in body language, you can use your body launguage to shape your inner beleifs. Stand tall, make good eye contact, be open and vulnerable; when you can do that consistently you will start to find that your confidence rises because of it.
Of course our self-image determines our confidence, and without changing our self-image it is hard to change most other things, including our confidence.
There are many ways to change our self-image and build our confidence. One powerful way I suggest to clients is hypnosis. The issue has to be dealt with in the deeper inner parts of us that tend to run the show.
Look into Universal Self Acceptance. My therapist has helped me with my confidence issues by making this the first step towards it.
USA is basically learning to accept yourself b/c you are a living human capable of both happiness and sadness. Also knowing that you strive for achievement only to enhance the enjoyment of your existance, not to prove your self worth.
I have to agree with Marble Work comment This is the way I manage to get my self confidence high self acceptance the way I am

Also, when I try to develop self confidence, I look at mirror and then talk.
I practise that way several times per week. It is a littler bit weird in the beginning, but later on your really start developind some self confidence
This might have a little something to do with the fact that every other day I tease her with “Is it a bird? Or a plane? No, it’s Super Grover!”
One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk. Is it slow? tired? painful?
you will start to find that your confidence rises because of it.
