Even the loudest, most outgoing person can still struggle with self-confidence, there is no rulebook on how to be confident and comfortable in your own skin. Luckily, self-confidence comes from within and there are ways to start appreciating and coming to terms with yourself.

Self-confidence is such a broad term, but it means being comfortable and, well, confident with who you are as a human.

There is no clear cut way to obtain self-confidence, and I don't believe anyone really has it mastered, but there are some ways to start looking at yourself in a better light.

Although I am talkative, pretty outgoing, and overall confident with who I am, I still struggle with the idea of self-confidence. You look at people who seem as though they have it together and that their life is perfectly in order, but chances are they too struggle with some aspect of their life.

Confidence comes from within, once you learn that you are who you are meant to be and start accepting flaws for what they are, life gets that much easier.

Now, this is all easier said than done, how can someone be 100% confident in their own skin? Well, it all starts with you, if you want to be happy, confident, and secure with who you are, you need to learn how to accept.

People seem to feel the need to fake who they are in order to fit in or to change things in order to feel accepted but that change is temporary. You should never, ever have to change for another person. If someone doesn't like you for who you are then they clearly are not meant to be in your life.

Learn how to come to terms with your flaws. If you feel like you aren't good enough, or that you will never be able to obtain a certain goal, start changing your mindset. Self-confidence can be obtained through your mind and through how you feel about yourself.

Again, there is no rulebook to self-confidence but if you want to start to love yourself and feel that boost of confidence it must come from within and it must come from acceptance and ultimately you will start to learn how to accept yourself for who you are, not who others want you to be.
