Feeling and being confident can be highly challenging for many people and often we're
told what to do to feel more confident.
However, on the flip side, it's also worth understanding what confident people don't
do, as it can help you feel better about yourself and also more confident.
Therefore, in this video we look at 5 Things Confident People Don't Do...
1.
Focus Too Much on Looks - One of the biggest insecurities people often
have is how they look, as they look at themselves in the mirror and then start pointing out
or focusing on areas they don't like - This can be highly damaging on your confidence
if you do this, as not only are you pointing out your flaws, you're developing a negative
self image of yourself - Confident people don't do this, they may
take care of themselves and their appearance, but they accept themselves for who they are
and are comfortable within themselves - This reduces the negative self talk and
instead shifts focus on other things, perhaps their interests or things that they are doing
that day
2.
Fail to Take Action - Confident people don't hesitate to take
action when they feel the need to do so in a given circumstance, instead promptly taking
on responsibilty themselves - That means that if there's an issue that
needs dealing with in the workplace, they don't wait for permission to act to resolve
the problem - Instead, they take the initiative and follow
through by taking action and if necessary, taking lead to support people through the
problem and reach a resolution - This is because they aren't afraid of tackling
problems, as they trust themselves do what is right, or at the very least the best they
can, to deal with it
3.
Put Others Down - People often put others down because it
helps them feel better about themselves and their own insecurities, almost as a defence
mechanism against their personal issues - This is why when people talk about bullies,
it's often about them picking on those with qualities or things that they themselves don't
feel they have in their lives - People who are confident don't feel that
way, as because we already established, they're accepting of who they are and what they are
capable of - That means there's no need to undermine
others for their own confidence, often resulting in them being more supportive and positive
people to spend time with
4.
Play Up to Others Expectations - Confident people rarely, if ever, try to
play a role to meet the expectations of others and instead focus on being true to themselves
and who they are - This is because they trust in themselves
and appreciate the qualities they have to give, without the need to try and pretend
they are something they're not - Which can actually be better for the rapport
they build with the person they spend time with, who knows that the confident person
is being authentic and genuine - This is because people are able to read
extremely subtle cues from others and their behaviour or body language, meaning they can
discern whether a person is genuine or not
5.
Lack Self Belief - As previously mentioned, a confident person
knows what they're capable of and is highly accepting of themselves and who they are
- This can mean that they have great belief in themselves, knowing that they can do things
to improve in certain areas, or have the skills already to deal with others
- All this means that when faced with a new challenge, the confident person will trust
themselves to do what's necessary to make it a success, even if results aren't immediate
- So avoid the points raised in this video, to ultimately feel and become more confident
yourself and achieve incredible results in your life
