How To Build Self-Confidence

Building self-confidence in social situations can be difficult unless you remember that the other person is usually just as nervous as you.

Why do you think so many people want a drink or two to loosen up?

If you are a naturally curious person, learning how to build self-confidence will be a cinch.
If on the other hand you tend to not want to know much about other people you may have to hone your questioning skills a bit.

Introduce yourself to the first person available. Ask them what they do? What brought them there?
Most people love to talk about themselves. After all it's a subject they know lots about.

Ask questions that give the other person room to express themselves. By asking a "you" question instead of making an "I" statement you will find yourself quickly in a conversation.

People will think you are a wonderful listener and they will want to naturally be around you.

This is how I learned to build self-confidence in social situations. I used to dread going into a room full of strangers and would find the nearest corner to hide in.

Now I look forward to an opportunity to meet people I have never met before. Try it and let me know if it works.
