Self-confidence

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Self-confidence has three main aspects. This is a sense of confidence (an inner feeling of strength, right and right), this is a confident behavior that demonstrates strength and is characteristic of people with a strong position, and this is decisiveness (confident acceptance and certainty in decisions, determination).

When women talk about their confidence, they usually mean a feeling of confidence, a feeling of confidence. When men talk about their confidence, they often mean their behavior.

The opposite of confidence is insecurity: inner fear, a feeling of lack of strength, inability to make a decision. Uncertainty is a typical problem for the neurotic and the human child. For adults and mentally healthy people, there is usually no problem of insecurity, but the challenge is to develop more confidence, as this is an important life resource.

Signs of confidence are mostly behavioral, namely calmness, a corset of confidence, the courage to declare oneself and confident behavior.

Calmness is a relaxed body without clamps, the absence of fuss in movements, a calm expression on the face, a calm, direct, not “running” look, a clear, not confused speech. Corset of confidence: no slouching, the habit of keeping a straight back, squared shoulders, high neck, confident gait, clear gestures. The courage to declare oneself: not a “squeaky” sonorous voice, not constrained by clamps of the vocal cords, loud confident speech, certainty in wording, decisiveness in conclusions, the ability to declare one’s desires and insist on one’s legal rights, readiness to give orders and demand their implementation.

Since confidence is the norm for most people, “seeing” it (these signs of confidence) is sometimes difficult. The confident behavior of one person next to the confident behavior of another just looks like normal behavior. Confident behavior is always easier to see in contrast, against the background of uncertainty.

Watch the video from the film Major Payne: Major Payne’s confident demeanor is more noticeable against the background of the not quite confident (albeit decisive) behavior of Ms. Alburn, who hesitates and hesitates (look — physically hesitates!).

It is possible and necessary to develop self-confidence, but be prepared for the fact that this work is not always fast and involves efforts in several, quite different directions. This is the creation of a strong life base, and the development of useful chips, and strengthening a sense of self-confidence. It is rather difficult to move independently in all these directions, although it is quite possible. And here the choice is yours. An easier way is to contact a center where self-confidence training is conducted. In this case, it is important to remember that trainings and trainings are different. And not everywhere you can get the desired result. In Russia, the largest training center is See →

While peppy people are more likely to be interested in developing self-confidence, problematic people want their self-doubt problem solved for them.

Building a child’s self-confidence

The task of parents is to help the child discover these strengths in himself and teach him how to use them, and in such a way that they bring him satisfaction. The issue of compensation brings us to a very important point that needs to be well understood. Awareness of one’s own shortcomings can destroy and paralyze a person, but on the contrary, it can give her a huge emotional charge that will contribute to achieving success in various fields. See →
