Most often, low self confidence can be attributed to one’s childhood. Being ridiculed or bullied can have a long lasting effect than most people may realize. A person subjected such personally traumatic events may feel inferior and worthless, and perhaps harbor some deep seated resentment for the bully archetypes encountered in their childhood. A number of people who suffer from low self confidence have said that they tend to feel claustrophobic, as though the world were closing in on them.
Of course, this is merely the overreaction of the human mind. People also tend to blame others for their hardships, but what they don’t realize is that they are ultimately responsible for their own situations. The lack of success for most people can be attributed to the lack of trying, which can in turn be attributed to the phenomenon of low self confidence.
People do not have a lack of desire to achieve success, but they do become disheartened at any small setbacks. Despite having made progress in leaps and bounds, one minor setback is all it takes for one’s self confidence to break. However, this negative conditioning can be undone with the right techniques, and this article shall endeavor to explore some of the quick tricks to building self confidence effectively.
One of the ways that a person may be able to build their confidence is to face up to the truth. The problem with most people is that they tend to live in denial of themselves and their insecurities. Not recognizing and admitting one’s insecurities or flaws may prevent a person from moving past them and actually achieve something in their lives. If you have ever encountered such problems then you have to identify your insecurities and flaws, and delve as deep into it as possible. Most often people tend to ignore or underestimate the smallest things, but even the tiniest detail may contribute to the larger picture. Determine what it is that makes you feel inferior, and write it down as something you can easily understand and identify.
Another way of breaking the negative mindset is a frank discussion with friends and loved ones. Confide in them your issues and be sure to listen to what they have to say carefully. Take any advice given to heart, because these are the people who have been with you for a considerable number of years, perhaps even all of your life, so they know you inside and out, and are the best people to provide advice and suggest helpful resolutions.
The last thing you can try to do is to think about your past successes. Surely, you would have had some measure of success in your life, no matter how small it may be. Again this is where you can benefit from a discussion with loved ones, as they may be able to remind you of your achievements that they may have been proud of. Being reminded of your past achievements can do wonders to giving you a quick boost of self confidence, because once you acknowledge your past successes you will have been imbued with a sense of positive self worth.
