Are you the person
sitting in the corner of the classroom during the break time hoping no one will
come up and talk to you? If this sounds like you, you're not alone. If you want
to become more socially confident, follow the advice.
Accept
your personality. Many people happen to be introverted,
meaning that you're more comfortable spending time alone. If this sounds like
you, don't force yourself to completely become an outgoing, social person.
Doing so can lead to stress, worry, and even heart disease. Instead, spend time
in social situations you already enjoy and try to have meaningful
conversations.By accepting your introverted nature, you can focus on the
quality of your social communications.
Understand
the importance of confidence. You can become
socially confident by attracting other people in a way that interests them and
makes them feel heard. These skills, are known as social ability. Practicing
social ability can create chances for yourself to get close to others.
Avoid
negative (消极的)
thoughts. If you don't see yourself as
socially confident, it can be easy to look for things that confirms your
thoughts. Catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, and ask yourself what you
see or hear can prove the thought. For example, imagine you're thinking, "I
know everyone here thinks I'm boring because I have nothing interesting to say."
Stop thinking that and ask yourself what proves the negative thought.
