As most of you probably already know, I've always been a pretty introverted individual, especially around people I don't know very well. However, since I'll be attending a brand new university in the fall, I definitely need to improve my confidence in order to make my experience there as amazing and as memorable as possible! For those of you who are looking to do the same, check out the following tips!
1. Talk to as many people as possible.
So this first tip is actually one that my father has stressed to me again and again. And that tip is to talk to as many people as possible. After all, the more you talk to people, the easier it will be for you to communicate with others and make friends. And what's one quality that an individual who communicates well with others has? Confidence, of course! Don't be afraid! Do it! You'll be happier and more confident in yourself once you get the hang of it.
2. Be yourself.
Don't worry about what others think about you. Be yourself! Always! The truth is, what most people probably don't know about me is the fact that I am actually not as introverted as I seem. As a matter of fact, I can be pretty outgoing and fun when I want to be, and I truly believe that my friends and family prefer the real me over the introverted me. Trust me, it's easier to be yourself than you may think. Just behave the same way you would if you were in a comfortable setting.
3. Wear what makes you confident.
Now, in no way am I saying that you need to wear the best clothes and makeup available in order to feel confident in yourself. However, I will say that whenever I wear nice clothes and makeup, I definitely feel a lot more confident in myself. And there's certainly nothing wrong with doing so yourself whenever you feel like it.
4. Think about all of your amazing accomplishments.
Another way to enhance your confidence is to think about all of your amazing accomplishments. No matter how big or small they may be, thinking about the fact that you were the main reason why they occurred should make you feel confident and happy with yourself in an instant!
5. Start a YouTube channel.
This might be one of the easiest ways to enhance your confidence, in that you can make as many videos as you want about pretty much anything you want! And in those videos, you'll probably end up recording several voice-overs, filming vlogs, etc. As a result, you will quickly improve your confidence without even realizing it!
6. Take time to realize how important you truly are.
Lastly, one of the most important tips that I can give you in order to enhance your confidence is to take time to realize how important you truly are. This can be accomplished by looking at some of your favorite pictures of yourself, thinking about your accomplishments, etc. Also, take a minute to read the following quotes! I hope you appreciate and believe in them as much as I do!
