Since we were young everyone told us that we must be confident with ourselves and we must believe in ourselves .. but how many times did you really do that? are you confident with yourself?
To be confident it's not as easy as it may seem because deep down we always tend to find something in ourselves like a defect or something wrong with our body or character which makes you not feel confident and ultimately not liking the way you are! and here where the trouble starts!
Since the very first day at school at our early ages I must say that we start to find out whats good and what's bad in ourselves according to what the other kids tell you. The funny thing about confidence is not about how you really look at yourself, but how others look at you and what they comment about you! so you end up by believing what they are saying whether it's good or bad. The most probability is that you believe in those bad things which are being told to us.
This mostly happen with the people who we are close to like the family members and maybe friends at school. If your friends at school pick up on you because you're brave and smart you will automatically start hating yourself for being smart and obviously they will might tell you that you are good because you cheat or maybe because you get help from people at home, and this will start to grow anger within you and because of the fact that you might start being introvert you will loose confidence in yourself!
This was a basic example but I am sure that there are worst things happening because of not having confidence in yourself and believe in it!
The key to be start being confident is to actually ignore everything which makes you feel bad and start focusing on the beautiful things in you. Your smile, your eyes, your nice hair, your hands, your skin, your organs, your voice etc etc... these are all things which you really must be appreciating that you have and these are the things which makes the real you, the beautiful you. It's not your friends or who ever has bullied you gave you those things, it's not who ever called you stupid or ugly or fat! Those are the things which makes you feel bad because you are afraid of having them .. so why are you wasting time focusing on what you don't have and forget what you have!? no one can ever make a replica of the real beautiful you , so if you are to destroy it you will be gone forever and can't bring it back. So you better look very very closely in that mirror in your room and notice every single part which makes the real you, which makes your eyes smile, which makes your smile shine and which makes your heart warm! these are what makes the real YOU! so you must love YOU!
Remember, what's inside you is stronger then any other comment or a lie!
