My greatest weakness is to get rid of cowardice. I am more timid when others laugh at me … how to change? I really hate myself now.

① Specific methods to build self-confidence.

(1) Pick the front seat.

Have you noticed how the seats in the back row are filled first, whether it's teaching or various parties in the classroom? Most people who occupy the back seat hope that they will not be "too conspicuous". And the reason why they are afraid of being noticed is their lack of self-confidence.

Sitting in the front can build confidence. Try to make it a rule and sit as forward as possible from now on. Of course, sitting in the front will be more conspicuous, but remember that everything that succeeds is conspicuous.

(2) Practice facing others.

A person's eyes can reveal a lot about him. When someone doesn't look you in the eye, you will intuitively ask yourself, "What are you trying to hide? What is he afraid of? Will he be bad to me? "

Not looking directly at others usually means: I feel inferior around you; I feel inferior to you; I am afraid of you. Avoiding other people's eyes means: I feel guilty; I did or thought of something I didn't want you to know; I'm afraid that once I touch your eyes, you will see through me. This is all bad information.

Looking into other people's eyes is telling you that I am honest and aboveboard. I believe what I told you is true. I have no conscience.

(3) Increase your walking speed by 25%

When David Schwartz was a teenager, it was very interesting to go to the town center. After getting on the bus after all the errands, my mother often says, "David, let's sit for a while and look at passers-by."

Mother is a great observer. She would say, "Look at that guy. What do you think is bothering him? " Or "What do you think the lady over there will do?" Or "Look at that man, he seems a little lost."

It's a pleasure to watch people walk. This is much cheaper and more enlightening than watching movies.

Many psychologists associate lazy posture and slow pace with unpleasant feelings about themselves, work and others. But psychologists also tell us that we can change our mental state by changing posture and speed. If you observe carefully, you will find that the movement of the body is the result of mental activity. Those who are hit and rejected are dragging their feet and have no self-confidence.

Ordinary people walk like "ordinary people" and make a confession that "I'm not very proud of myself".

Another kind of person shows extraordinary self-confidence, walks faster than the average person and likes running. Their pace tells the world: "I want to go to an important place and do very important things." More importantly, I will succeed in 15 minutes. "

Use this "25% faster" technology, strut faster, and you will feel your self-confidence growing.

(d) Practice public speaking.

Napoleon Hill pointed out that there are many people with sharp thinking and high talent, but they can't give full play to their strengths to participate in the discussion. It's not that they don't want to participate, just because they lack self-confidence.

The taciturn people in the meeting thought, "My opinion may be worthless. If I say it, others may feel silly. I'd better say nothing. Moreover, others may know more than me, and I don't want you to know that I am so ignorant. " These people often make a vague promise to themselves: "Wait until the next time." But they know very well that they can't keep this promise. Every time these taciturn people don't talk, he is poisoned by lack of self-confidence again, and he will lose self-confidence more and more. On the positive side, if you try your best to speak, you will increase your confidence and it will be easier to speak next time. So talk more, this is the "vitamin" of self-confidence.

No matter what kind of meeting you attend, you should take the initiative to speak every time, maybe it is a comment, maybe it is a suggestion, maybe it is a question, without exception. Besides, don't speak last. To be an icebreaker, you must be the first to break the silence. Don't worry, you'll look stupid. I won't. Because someone will always agree with you. So don't say to yourself, "I'm wondering if I dare say it." Try to attract the attention of the chairman of the meeting, so that you can have a chance to speak.

(5) grin.

Be sure to laugh.
