Expect more from yourself than others. The good news - everyone believes in what you show. Nobody can read your thoughts to know your fears. The bad news - you can interpret every people's sight in a wrong way. Any weird reaction and you start worrying without any reason. Psychologists recommend listening to your "inner voice". Try this experiment: note down every thought while you are lacking of self-confidence. Every time you start worrying, do a two-minute break. Take the list and remind yourself how great you are. Show to your mind the material proof of your self-confidence.

Surround yourself with positive people. The more you surround yourself with positive and confident individuals in all areas of your life the more you will begin to feel the same. The very interaction with confidence inspires you to feel the same, it is contagious. The same goes for negativity. So, take a look at the people in your life and reflect on their net input regarding confidence in your life. True friends help you be more of yourself as far as it is concerned.

Appearance is everything. When you look good you feel good. Simple. If you are walking around looking like you just got out of a rubbish bin, you probably won't be too confident about yourself. We all know how you feel when you walk out of the hairdresser, you walk a bit taller, you walk with purpose. So look after yourself and dress your best and you will feel your best. You know your superb features to show them off!

This book will help you to improve your self-confidence to overcome social anxiety and shyness.  

I would like to encourage you to begin the journey by looking at yourself and accepting what you see. There can never be another you so be all you can be for the time being.   

The next step is to follow the given steps and start understanding yourself, your environment and the factors that will drive you to passionate success.

Chapter 1 - How to Get Rid of Insecurity

It might not come as a surprise if you admit that one time or another you felt self-conscious when you are placed in a room full of strangers. But, have you ever felt so shy that your heartbeat started to race when an individual asked you out on a date but you were too shy to say yes? This is another form of social anxiety.

Why do people experience shyness? Everyone tends to feel shyness at differing levels. Your shyness might be because of any of the following:

Negative self-image

People who have a poor image of themselves usually believe that their unique qualities are not as interesting as other people, thus they aren't worthy of praise or admiration. They often resort to trying hard to fit in but often end up not liking their own selves. Psychologists say you need to go back to a person's experiences when growing up because generally, it is during this time that their image of themselves is developed.

Extreme self-preoccupation

Self-preoccupation is when you feel overly sensitive to all the things that you are doing or saying, it is as if you are in the center of attention. This sense will only create anxiety because you begin to question your every move. Your focus is centered on the things that you are doing wrong.

False labeling

When you say and see yourself as a shy person, you have the tendency to live up to that image.

To overcome shyness and social anxiety you need to use a few strategies:

Do not expect that the whole world is observing your every move. Take into account that most people, including you, are busy looking at themselves. Why not bring your awareness inside? If you have understood the source of your anxiety, seek within your inner thoughts how you can counter that feeling of shyness with positive thoughts. Self-awareness is your initial step into enhancing yourself.

Stop hating and start liking. The first person that should like yourself is you. Practice realizing and appreciating your uniqueness. Learn to love yourself. Find some me time and be grateful for all that you are. Re-acquaint with yourself.

Instead of focusing on the wrong you may commit concentrate on individuals around you. If you are conversing with a small group, focus on other people and notice what they have to say. Switch your interest into getting to know these people. You probably have one individual with whom you have been constantly dealing with in the same office team but you don't even know his or her first name because you do not spend time with him or her outside work. Reach out to people.

Practice visualization. Reshape your conception of yourself. See yourself as a self-confident person. Imagine a scene where you are in the middle of a discussion in a tiny group. Listen to what you are saying. See how assured you are while talking to other people. See yourself oozing with self-confident. Visualize exactly what you are wearing, who you are with, what time of the day it is, and what you are discussing. Visualize this image over and over. Use your senses, listen to the sounds around you, see the images, feel the people you are with, and recognize the smell. Establish what you are feeling that very moment. Make the images real in your thoughts.

If anything bad does happen, do not bail out. You just entered a room filled with people and you begin to feel the panic so you think that the next best thing is to just leave. Doing this will not help you at all. Turn the situation into something that you can learn from. Why did you suddenly feel that way? Is there a way that you can change how you feel? Face the problem and learn from it. That is the only way you can get out of it.

There will always be a possibility of being rejected. Accept rejection but don't take it personally. Remember, you do not have the monopoly of feelings. If everyone seems stressed, everyone can be rejected as well. It is how you cope with rejections that will determine you. It isn't your fault that you have been rejected, it was not just meant to be. Just move on and learn from it. There shouldn't be any room for self-pity. Think of rejection as a blessing in disguise and then move forward.

Focus on the moment and don't over think situations.

How to Improve Your Self-Esteem

Psychologists describe self-esteem as the overall perspective of a person on his or her value. It is one’s view of the self and one’s attitude towards it. Do you feel worthy? Do you feel able? Are you proud of yourself? Are you motivated? Do you know yourself, and are you proud of that? Only you can decide.

Saying negative things such as the ones listed below may seem harmless, but what you are doing is creating something in you that later becomes permanent. It soon becomes the cause of conditions such as social phobia, anxiety, and panic attacks. Some of these things we say are:

I am a failure...

What was I thinking...?

He/she will never look at me...

I will never make it...

What does a low self-esteem do?

1. Poor health as a result of eating disorders, and low energy levels because you are so busy pleasing everybody but yourself.

2. Missed career opportunities as a result of the echo in your mind that says you cannot do it. Low self-esteem makes you feel inappropriate and unworthy hence hinders you from taking risks and grabbing chances.

3. Sexual problems are closely related to self-esteem issues because it is all about an individual’s problem with his or her image. Low self-esteem leads to low sex drive and addictions. Individuals seek help for these only to discover that there existed deeper rooted issues that manifested themselves as sexual addiction or sexual problems.

4. Low self-esteem affects your emotions because you find yourself unable to put your feelings to the fore. It hinders you from accepting your weaknesses and sharing intimacy on many levels with a partner. You find yourself being either too shy and come across as aloof or too bullish when all you needed was a shoulder to lean on.

The first step to mastering your self-esteem is by challenging his messages of criticism to you. Replace them with opposite and positive messages. An example of a negative inner message is when you are ‘told’ These people will never like me, I am too short and inappropriate, or They think I am spoilt and stuck up. Acknowledge your strengths and say I am the best there can ever be, I am awesome, or I have a kind heart for helping people.

Be good to yourself

If you know that you would give a shoulder to a friend who is in a rough place, then you should do the same for yourself. You should be the first person to receive that care and commiseration. Give yourself that support; be a fellow with yourself and help ‘you.’ If you can give, then you should allow yourself to receive - especially during hard times. Be good and forgive yourself when something does not go as planned. Be gentle and support yourself instead of being critical when you fail, and most of all accept that things do not always turn out as expected.

Accept yourself

This is something you have to decide on. Self-acceptance is a conscious decision. It is something that helps you accept without denial that we are how we are – short, tall, black or white. It is agreeing that you feel
