To help yourself feel fine even in heated situations: "zoom out" a bit and imagine all the life that happens around you and realize how little you mean in all that, there is nothing that's going to hurt you
Alan watts explained that quite well, " you must understand we come out of this World, not into it. Therefore we are part of the natural World like the animals, the trees and the waves of the ocean and the clouds. Now have have you ever seen a cloud that was too big or too small? Have you ever seen a cloud move in the wrong direction? The same goes for humans, in zen practice you are thought to regard yourself as a cloud moveing along in the skies..."
Practice keeping your word everyday you’ll really gain confidence. Every time you say you’re gonna do something and don’t do it, your self-esteem diminishes no matter how meaningless the task may seem. Take your word very serious.
I go by this! Especially just for doing life admin: - Telling yourself you’ll make your bed in the morning before showering. And doing it! - telling yourself you’ll have breakfast before 10:00. And doing it!
@@climbbmilc93 Exactly! Little routine tasks like that are extremely important for keeping your confidence in check. There was one point in my life where I followed through with literally everything that I said I would do religiously and after a while, it felt like I owned the world. “Idk” and “maybe” were no longer in my vocabulary. You start to subconsciously trust in yourself more and more by KNOWING you’ll accomplish whatever you say you’re going to do (AKA confidence).
How to nail your interview: 1. Avoid eye contact at all costs 2. Rest your feet on the interviewers desk to assert dominance 3. Wait for 20 seconds staring at them before answering to a question 4. Walk out of the room calmly after refusing to take the job
* Be relaxed - Spread out (standing, sitting being spread) - Move freely around - People have to work for attention - Selective eye contact ( give attention when making a point ; if the other person is doing it, then stare) * Be Non-reactive - Stay silent under pressure ( give pauses to think) - Don’t fidget under pressure * Dont try to convince people - Frame yourself as a equal partner ( in a negotiation; You are screening them as much as they are screening you) - Be willing to walk away ( not emotionally; if its clear that it signifies your confidence; Looks we’re not a match, wish you all the best) * Believe that you’ll be okay - Even if you do something that will prove a loss, be confident and know that you wont ever lose your own trust.
Dude you are so right. I was a shy guy but today my crush offered me a snack and I used to decline the offer and today I said to her" Yeah sure why not" in front of everyone.
You can cultivate a mindset though, being good at things or doing things until You’re good at them is a way to cultivate confidence, the fact is you have to have experiences, good and bad and learn from them, true confidence IMO is having certainty in everything you do
I have always struggled with social anxiety and self esteem. I used these on my family at a party with my aunts and cousins. For the first time I felt confident. I was talking and making everyone laugh with my stories and comments. As soon as I got home I started crying with relief. I hope that I can keep applying this tricks in the future. Thank you will never be enough, But thank you.
1. Sit relaxed and a little lean back that makes people come out to you. 2. Be non-reactive, and react less at times when handling pressure. 3. Speak slowly and use pauses correctly. 4. You will be okay no matter what.
She broke up with me. I told her I was grateful for the good times we shared. No begging, no pleading, go and be well. Moved on. Did us both a BIG favor. 😂
getting detached from reality made me the most confident person ive ever known lol, the key is not caring guys, your fears controlling you, if you overcome them then your anxiety is gone.. everyone is too invested in their own life, they dont care if your hair's not that good
I can vouch for this. In my younger days I used to not give 2 shits what somebody would think about me if I said this or did that, I just didn't care and every conversation/interaction I had with anyone just felt good and satisfying. These days I'm clouded by social anxiety and it's hard to enjoy being out and around people because I constantly think about how the other person is going to view me but coming across this video is reconnecting me with my past philosophy of not giving 2 shits and I have to say it feels good and thats how I know not caring really works lol. Care about what matters to you, not to them, that is the key.
@@prodmarquese Yes and no. Because even if you have no fears there is a difference in appearing confident and being arrogant. Whilist I do understand your point what someone like Don does is project confidence while not needing to be confident himself if that makes sense. There are subtle moviments you can do that swing a conversation in your favor and for someone with Don's knowledge he knows what clients want and needs.
How do you detach from reality? Imagine you are to give a presentation in front of 100 people and you are nervous and anxious as hell, your heart is beating fast, at that situation how would you do that?
Hey Beatiful people, I Just Started my own Channel Inspired by David and I just wanted to let you know. It might be Interesting for you and i would appreciate it if you would show some support. See you there ;)
As a practicing attorney, I often remind myself to pause while speaking with a judge or a jury. It creates suspense. But more importantly, it actually allows me to hear my own thoughts and feel my feelings. Pausing also gives the other person time to process everything I just said. I would add that confidence is a two-way street. I find that if I practice active listening when I speak with people and really make space for them, they open up and we then mutually instill confidence in one another. Confidence doesn’t always have to be a competition.
I’m an accountant and I do this when I need to process information. It’s not an act. I need to pause to think about how to consult and problem solve. Confidence comes from faith that things will work out fine. Every problem can be solved. I love the idea of slowing down to think.
@@MrMacBig273 You also don't know what confidence means. You get s feeling of confidence/self-assurance by appreciating your own abilities or qualities, and not necessarily being a master of any particular skill. For instance, one could be confident at public speaking, but not necessarily be good at it.
A friend told me that once when we were kids. We aren’t friends anymore because first I forgot about that, and then he forgot about that, and now we’re probably never going to talk to each other again. I forgive him now, it’s been a while, but knowing him I doubt he’s forgiven me. I don’t know if he’s capable of forgiveness. Or any real feelings, for that matter.
@@amaracea so very sad. Words spoken in haste or in anger can never be taken back. If both parties are willing and committed, then a friendship can recover and endure; but anything less is like trying to build half a bridge.
Calm means the other person cannot affect you. They might try because if they can make you react then it shows that _they_ have the power to make you react. But if you remain cool and collected no matter what happens, then you retain all of that power, and actually steal some of theirs, because now you've both seen their failure.
I get anxiety going to college every single day. I'm not happy with how i feel on the inside and out. But this helped and I'm working on myself now. My goal is to leave the house feeling confident and good about myself.
Audrey Hepburn was asked how she seemed so poised all the time, she said she slows down. I started talking that to heart in stressful situations, and it's worked. I feel myself getting panicky in a social situation and then just walk slower, talk slower, allows your thoughts to slow down and become less reactive.
@@gabyperez1123 :) yes, before reacting to a certain situation, before responding, taking a deep breath can help you channel your emotions and think the things through. Taking deep breaths can help you release anxiety, stress and even anger.
I worked in security. I always told my guards that when it gets crazy, slow down. Simply your list, take a deep breathe and control what you can. Seem to work as me and my team were very successful.
Two rules which I have applied a long time ago and have improved my life completely. - Pause and think about what you're about to say, and then say it, always. - Sometimes it is better to not say anything.
Pretty much. nothing like basing your own confidence on a drunken, philandering, identity stealing, morally bankrupt pretty boy. moral of the story, be pretty!
also gotta say, the 4th tip really hits home. Specifically, love the line "...and you may begin to even look forward to the situations that stressed you out"
Yeah. It’s really difficult when you’re trained growing up and your whole life that you’re dirt and everyone else is better than you - meaning, hey, respond promptly to people and don’t waste their time. It’s more valuable than yours. When you realize you’re making them wait, you feel like your face is on fire and your hands get all greasy and your chest starts trying to kill you and you can tell they’re hearing how unbelievably loud and shallow your breathing suddenly is and that sweat on your forehead is “this close” to getting in your eye and you forget what you were trying to figure out to say
@@amaracea Do this 3 times. First 2 times it feels terrible and difficult, and at the 3rd time it starts getting more comfortable. Also some people would be surprised at how first and second impressions don't matter and people forget how you've been in the past. The point being, go and make some mistakes, It's good for you.
@@rickjohnson1719 Depending on the complexity of the situation/conversation I think one can choose to just flow, a stream of consciousness so to speak, in lieu of well-thoughtout speech.
Realizing that no matter what happens, I'll be okay, is exactly how I survived my childhood. I used to stress so much then after so many dramatic plot twists, I realized if I survived all that, I will survive whatever else comes my way and that's when I stopped stressing as much. I hadn't really connected it with confidence before but I can see the connection now. Interesting. 🤔
Same here. I am the only one who is not afraid to speak up, regardless of their position. After you collect your guts to stand up to your parents, you have no fear standing up to anyone :)
Stop worrying about always needing to say the right thing because you think the other person or the group might reject you, because you know that you will never reject yourself --- this really hit man, ty for this video
1)Relaxed Body language 2)Selective eye contact 3)Non-Reactiveness/Silence/Patient response 4)Framing the situation 5)No matter what... you will be okay.
It's about balancing when to be open and when not to be. You don't want to be telling the wrong people your weak points, but you also don't want to be a bottle that looks perfect but shatters after some time, because of the pressure it's holding. Recently I've not been balancing it properly. I've been too focused on saying the perfect thing. I've not been patient, I've been wanting instant confidence. This is cause I want to feel the same confidence I did in the past.
0:16 Two types of confidence: External and Internal 0:43 1: Relaxed body language 3:03 2: Be non-reactive 5:24 3: Don’t try to convince people 7:04 4: Believe that you will always be ok
Confidence isn't about getting other peoplr to agree with you or accept you, it's about living your life without worry. I think that a lot of the reasons people watch this channel come from wanting social acceptance. Ironically, that means that for many of us (myself included), the biggest obstical to overcome in being charismatic, is what drove us to try to be in the first place.
Vael Ryker well put. When my son was about 4th grade I was listening to him and his buddy's sitting around talking. (My son was born with bi-lateral club feet) one of the boys told him, so and so is faster than you. His answer, big deal everyone is faster than me. Too cool, that ended right there. That kid tried to step on him, but found nothing to step on.
stealing someone else's personality and life? Wack! You'll end up like Edward Norton's character at the end of The Italian Job movie from 2003- A no originality, unconfident, LOSER that can't decide who they Actually are.
1.Have a relax body language and more freely in every environment. Have selective eye contact and make eye contact when your doing a main point. Do not over react and stay non reactive. Remain in silence to think or when confused. SLOW DOWN 2.Make yourself seem as equals with others. Do not get angry and stay calm 3.believe that you will be okay in every situation no matter what
So basically accepting oneself is the very key factor on being confident, kinda mind blowing that it also goes around by the famous saying "once you start believing in yourself, anything is possible".
@@fbmw98 The biggest thing that happened this week was when someone said "thanks" to a grammar correction in a RUclips, instead of getting triggered. The tiniest thing ever, but I felt inspired by this. Good mindset.
With Confidence it is also to remind yourself that everyone is going through things, everyone is up in their own heads worrying about themselves. Once you realise this it is so easy to walk around with ease and assured in who you are. Everyone is human. With any scenario that scares you, ask yourself the simple question ‘What is the worst outcome that can happen from this situation’, usually it isn’t half as bad as we make it out to be! Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. Challenge yourself everyday and you will step into a Confident Person. All the love and incredible video, Thank you x
Hey Beatiful people, I Just Started my own Channel Inspired by David and I just wanted to let you know. It might be Interesting for you and i would appreciate it if you would show some support. See you there ;)
You gotta watch the show. Don is terrified or nervous in 1/4 of these situations. Not to mention his character is literally about an insecure person who imitates a persona to fit in.
I feel like a big part of Don's character is that even HE has his own issues with self-confidence, but he never let's people see that. When he does, that's when we start to see the layers peel back and Don's true self starts to show. It's really all about how you project yourself to the world and those around you.
Not necessarily the point. The point is to have true enough confidence in yourself to be able to be vulnerable in front of others, and not in a poor me way.
Hey Beatiful people, I Just Started my own Channel Inspired by David and I just wanted to let you know. It might be Interesting for you and i would appreciate it if you would show some support. See you there ;)
If you spend time getting to know yourself, and learn to love and accept that person then you strengthen the most important relationship of your life, the one you have with yourself. If that relationship is solid then you always have an inner safe haven no matter what is going on around you. That self love and understanding allows you to stay true to yourself in every situation, that is the deepest form of confidence.
Yes but also improving that old self version of you is necessary sometimes, not only accepting it, doing something about if you feel unhappy about certain aspects of yourself
I totally and finally fell in love with the Don Draper character when he embraced the other guy in genuine empathy and in a gesture of comfort. That was his defining moment as a human. Also, Jon Hamm. Wow. What an amazing actor.
Greg Walker yes. It is totally conditional. We don’t like whiny wimps who tell us who they think we are. We like men who don’t blame us for everything that is wrong. We like men who like women. We hate men who hate women. So yeah. You are right. It IS conditional. Those are the conditions. I have my own money. My husband has his own money. Get a job, a clue, snd stop being a weakling.
Don is not confident because he drinks. That is just pure nonsense. He is confident because he does not actually care about most of the things that shape other people. He does not care about money in the way other people does, he does not care what others think and above all he is willing to just try. Everybody knows a Don Draper. That does not mean he is a good person morality is something different.
Don Draper's confidence comes from the fact that he is a character in a TV show, and he is only written into scenes where he is, and can be, confident.
I’ve lived my life so far by the adage “this too shall pass”… idk why it stuck with me so hard the first time I heard it but it’s literally how I operate my life on the daily now. This saying has gotten me through countless excruciating physical AND emotional pain over the years and I really believe it’s changed me for the better
I agree with you. The day I learned about the hedonic treadmill was the day my life changed for the better. Deep down I always know that everything is temporary.
No she didn't. She exhaled her cigarette smoke into his mouth. Watch that scene where he says "My name is Don." She does not exhale the smoke, but goes straight for his mouth. She is a femme fatale. It is written all over her face. Don is a sucker.
That whole.. Im going to be fine is what really does it.. And the no ducks given that comes out of rock bottom is what makes people relentlessly unegotistically authentic in every interaction..and relaxed biddy language.. That's confidence.. And it's unique to everyone.. Best to find your own rather than copy anyone partly.. Just comes off as creepy and untrustworthy.
Have you ever done a video on charisma and confidence demonstrated by non attractive people? That would be intriguing. As for example on this video, around 1:30, he’s leaned back and looks comfortable, but a larger person would be getting a double chin and can come across “different” because of that. That’s obviously a small thing, but it got me thinking of how every video I’ve seen relates to those that already have a natural physical attractiveness that makes “mental” attractiveness maybe not “easier” but at least amplified
Good point, maybe watching videos of guys that weren’t traditionally attractive like Churchill, Idi Amin etc (and the actors that have played them in movies). Notice what they are doing when they seem their most confident and charismatic. 😊
I agree with that. I always feel confident being myself and since I am an honest person people generally like me, if not at the beginning, because I am not good-looking, they will end up liking my personality.
How accurate this is is actually kind of crazy. I've followed most of these in the past and have deviated recently while going through some things and allowing myself to be off balance. I used to spend so much time on my own thinking and pondering what the ideal way to be happy and so on and so forth is. At the end of my day I'd reassess: What happened today, what was the goal here, why did it go the way it did, why did someone react the way they did, what could I have done different.... ANYWAY. Being honest and therefore speaking from a place where you feel grounded and stable and therefore confident while being open to being wrong and realizing you will be ok no matter what. the world is up to your interpretation. is all there is to it.
How to be like Don Draper: Step 1: When in doubt, remain absolutely silent Step 2: When asked about your past give vague and open ended answers Step 3: Have a great name Step 4: Look fantastic in a suit, look fantastic in casual wear, look fantastic in anything. Sound good. Smell good. Kiss good. Strutt around with supreme confidence. Take 6 hour lunches. Disappear for weeks at a time! Lie to everyone about everything and most importantly... Drink and smoke constantly. Basically... Be Don Draper
We need this curriculum in today's schools & make it mandatory for all students unfortunately this is something schools never teach us & as a 25 Yr old I can vouch for all adults when I say your degrees, grades & education doesn't matter if you're not able to express yourself. Until you're confident in you own skin you can never be successful.Period..!
Taking pauses in between answering questions and making statements, then making eye contact is a hell of a powerful thing I learned. A must read is The Alabaster Girl.
Don is relaxed because he’s a made-up fictional character in the movie. Yo don’t use movie characters to describe real life real life to describe real life.
Such a great series too. It's all about finding a path to happiness and how we're all sold a false idea of what that is. The show asks if we can change enough to be a better person, love ourselves, and find authentic joy. Don is living the idea of the American Dream, which makes him extremely confident, but inside he's a mess. He goes on on journey from realizing how shallow his "perfect life" is to accepting his truly self. And every episode it like a short story, hitting upon a different theme that explores this idea. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it.
Internal confidence can also be called *SELF-ESTEEM* - Ultimately, it boils down to mastering your own psychology and understanding that you have unlimited powers
VariableVision Absolutely! confidence isn’t something someone always radiates, it fluctuates, not everyone always feel amazing every second of every day, Don Draper definitely has had confidence at some point in his life, and may be feeling that exact way right now, it’s something you cultivate that takes time, so your answer is a bit obvious, sometimes you feel confident, sometimes not, everyone has had confidence at one point in their life
If ones self-esteem is based on the believe that one has unlimited powers, one will at some point fail and then be forced to question it. This is far from mastering ones psychology I guess... Knowing ones limits, being confident about the potentual one has and honest about all of it seems like self-esteem that is way more natural. Just my thougt on it tho..
@@Infinite_exhilaration Don Draper definitely had confidence. But I would argue his self destructive behaviour (alcoholism, serial cheating on his wife, constant lying) is rather a sign of lack of self esteem. One should not confuse self esteem with confidence. One runs much deeper and the other is more superficial and ego-centric.
VariableVision I’m a contradiction because I agree and disagree with you. You should never mix self esteem with confidence, however... people’s behavior, it changes over time, take Robert Downey Jr by example, his life was going essentially nowhere, and he made a decision to completely change the course of his life, and arguably kick started the MCU. Now... I’m not talking that big of a change, but he could of been known for binge drinking 4 months ago, and has that stigma, but 3 weeks ago, without us knowing, he made the decision to stop drinking, or drink less and less, so... it’s very difficult in my opinion to judge someone on their past behavior when change is just one decision away, and your argument may be people don’t change, and it’s a possibility like most people they are basing that statement from their own personal experience. Today he could of made a decision to change everything around. The truth is we don’t know. It’s the same as having a best friend always hung out in Highschool, you graduated, moved to a different state, visited him 3 years later, you can be a completely different person, so much so he doesn’t even recognize you
This is what I’ve been saying for years. Once you fall into that mindset of everything is NOT going to be ok, you literally become this. Thank you... finally someone understands what I’ve been saying.
DO a tommy shelby from Peaky blinders confidence/dominating a situation breakdown! most intimidating without trying character in any show (sorry tywin)
nooo dons drapes his hand because hes confident broo he feels comfortable with himself and his environment brooo you gotta hear me out bro it’s nota cuz his last names draper brooooooo
Besides what is going on under your own roof and that of your loved ones, treat life as a game and everything will be all right. That includes the position that everything will be okay no matter what. If you implement this concept, you will never get nervous, anxious, fidgety. You will be in control of yourself and the situation you are in and you won’t be afraid to put people in their place (nicely or not sometimes) when they get out of line. The world will be your oyster and the world will get out of your way of making things happen.
"You'll stop worrying that other people will reject you because you know you'll never reject yourself." I was taken aback by how hard that line hit me.
The great idea of this video is that we will be OK, no matter what other people will think of us, if we embrace ourselves. It is such an insight. Thank you for this fascinating video!
Good points raised but remember that this is a trained, professional actor, not naturally as shown in the movies. To be this type of confident takes a great deal more than just trying, doing or acting, but becoming that character in every way. Keep that in mind when trying, faking, doing or acting a part in front of others when such a character isn't your own natural self in everyday normal life.
I have theory about actors... not all, but some. They get so good at becoming (acting) another person they may be tempted to identify as that character in real life. And they get so good at the character that they lose themselves... sometimes intentionally. This could cause much anxiety and suffering. I'm sure we'll never really know but it might explain why in spite of fame and fortune some are secretly very unhappy people
The secret to having confidence is radiating Presence. To radiate presence is a knowing that you are enough. Knowing you are enough is knowing that you already have what you need.
Perfect video man. I am always amazed by the understanding you have of how people work and how to improve their lives. Your contribution is invaluable.
Another factor in why Don is so darn good at all of this is that he is a fictional character with a team of 12 writers controlling every situation, every reaction, every move, every word of every character in every scene. It's easy to make someone god like when for all intents and purposes the character actually is god like, with every aspect of every scene carefully designed and orchestrated by a huge team of writers, sound people, lighting people, costume designers, set directors, on and on, plus the director and other actors setting him up constantly project that great Don Draper image. It takes more to be Don Draper than just confidence. No one is Don Draper.
You’re right, but remember that characters are developed from real life experiences/stories. Writers take personalities and character traits of real people and create a fictional character. It’s not as if Dons character is albeit non relatable, he is very relatable and there’s a lot to learn from Don Draper
I know he' a fictional character, but hes a big role model to me Edit: Let me Clarify, a role model for confidence, and anything relating to that, because as a kid (i obviously didnt have it as hard as the character) i was homeless most of the time, bullied, shy, people pleaser, rarely stood up for myself, etc. And i admire how don handles people who dont agree with him and does what he want, even if its confrontational (I dont admire all the cheating, lying, and manipulating he does) I hope this clears things up Btw, Thank You guys for all the likes an comments
@_CalmPsycho _ You did not get the point. He has NPD the confidence is superficial to mask his emptiness and in the process hurts his family. A man who hurts his family is no man as the purpose of a man is the health of his family.
I seriously hope no one watched this whole video without watching all of Mad Men first, because that clip from the final season is one of the most impactful I've ever seen. I cry just re-watching the clip because when seen in the original context it's unbelievably powerful.
PieSniper Thanks for the warning...I actually haven’t yet. Wasn’t yet out, back when I watched the series. And now, I‘ll probably have to rewatch everything m because it has been so long 😄
Totally agree dude. It hits me hard the same way. And I don't really appreciate just blowing it in a video with no warning. This is a masterpiece and it deserves a little respect.
This video... I’ve seen quite a few of yours. This one really hit home for me and confidence felt and projected has not been an issue for me for decades. Well done
1. Be relaxed and move freely Being in a relaxed posture or in a confident stance will make you comfortable with your surroundings, making you not stressed in situations. Moving freely and making yourself "at home" will display a sense of ownership and make you seem like "the boss" wherever you are. 2. Be non-reactive and give yourself time to pause Being nonreactive will make you seem impenetrable and untouched by anything that comes your way. When you pause you give yourself more time to come up with a better response to any given situation. This includes not fidgeting and controlling you emotional behavior 3. Be willing to walk away If you feel that something is not working out the way you want it to, be willing to walk away from that situation. It is better to walk away then waste your time 4. Tell yourself that everything will be okay A form of internal confidence, having the ability to tell yourself that everything will be okay even in the worst situations will build your mental toughness and the mindset will help you overcome the bad situations you face. *I apologize for the bad wording
This is the only self-improvement channel which I genuinely feel like I'm being provided real value...not just some fake advice to start buying into a cult following like so many other self-help channels. Been following this channel since way before 1 mil subs and I'm really happy to see how much this channel has grown.
The ending is AMAZING, throughout the whole video i was like "yeah, okay but that's just a persona, just an act - and when i was younger and starting self development i thought that THIS was what meant to be confident but it's far from true self belief and conviction, the place where true confidence comes from. So, cool tips but it's not what i need righ-" then lesson 4 started. And you nailed it. It's so fundamental to stress this, to know where confidence, self-belief, comes from. Great, great video.
I was struggling with social anxiety for a while. I went to therapy, got it fixed, and now I've been doing these things without even knowing the "theory" behind it. It just came naturally. Old friends of mine say I'm a completely different person. And I can see it. It's really strange.
@@nykhilsandhu Honestly, fake it till you make it. Act confident even though you aren't and eventually the confidence will come to you. Also, I think a good exercise for conversation is talking to strangers online. Just talk with them. Your anxiety will basically disappear because of the anonymity. That depends on the seed of your anxiety too though. Listen, I'm not an expert. I highly suggest going to a therapist. But you have to talk freely. Don't hold anything back. And the therapist isn't there to fix your problems, he/she's there to walk you through all of this. Make you realize what's wrong with you, where it started and give you tips on how to change yourself to be better.
You know, I've always had this mindset almost without realising it, but I never connected that to my internal confidence. Recently I got into a rather large personal crysis and I've abandoned that belief. This video really helped me remember it and put that gear back into place so that I may function again. Thank you. Love your work. Keep going.
Yes sir that's old time medicine right there ain't no stress balls ordered from the therapist at two sessions a week but hey whatever works for you that's what counts no matter what era your from
Today, in hopes of attracting attention from my crush, I made several jokes in class and everyone laughed including the teacher! Thanks for giving me confidence. I'm still getting there...
How to get confidence? -Get on your purpose. Learn a trade or a skill. Become master at it. Monetise it and that's it. IF you are good at something, you will be confident. Simple.
Believing that no matter what happens you’re going to be fine anyway is always a great mindset to have
Exactly!!
You made my day sir !!
Sean Lunny that’s could be true but could also be really bad
I tell myself this everyday and I genuinely believe everything will workout
To help yourself feel fine even in heated situations: "zoom out" a bit and imagine all the life that happens around you and realize how little you mean in all that, there is nothing that's going to hurt you
Alan watts explained that quite well, " you must understand we come out of this World, not into it. Therefore we are part of the natural World like the animals, the trees and the waves of the ocean and the clouds. Now have have you ever seen a cloud that was too big or too small? Have you ever seen a cloud move in the wrong direction? The same goes for humans, in zen practice you are thought to regard yourself as a cloud moveing along in the skies..."
Practice keeping your word everyday you’ll really gain confidence. Every time you say you’re gonna do something and don’t do it, your self-esteem diminishes no matter how meaningless the task may seem. Take your word very serious.
love it
thx
I go by this! Especially just for doing life admin:
- Telling yourself you’ll make your bed in the morning before showering. And doing it!
- telling yourself you’ll have breakfast before 10:00. And doing it!
@@climbbmilc93 Exactly! Little routine tasks like that are extremely important for keeping your confidence in check. There was one point in my life where I followed through with literally everything that I said I would do religiously and after a while, it felt like I owned the world. “Idk” and “maybe” were no longer in my vocabulary. You start to subconsciously trust in yourself more and more by KNOWING you’ll accomplish whatever you say you’re going to do (AKA confidence).

* Be relaxed
- Spread out (standing, sitting being spread)
- Move freely around
- People have to work for attention
- Selective eye contact ( give attention when making a point ; if the other person is doing it, then stare)
* Be Non-reactive
- Stay silent under pressure ( give pauses to think)
- Don’t fidget under pressure
* Dont try to convince people
- Frame yourself as a equal partner ( in a negotiation; You are screening them as much as they are screening you)
- Be willing to walk away ( not emotionally; if its clear that it signifies your confidence; Looks we’re not a match, wish you all the best)
* Believe that you’ll be okay
- Even if you do something that will prove a loss, be confident and know that you wont ever lose your own trust.

Confidence is literally a mindset that you can force.

1 million subscribers with no videos That’s a good start. Keep the mindset you’ll do good.
You can cultivate a mindset though, being good at things or doing things until
You’re good at them is a way to cultivate confidence, the fact is you have to have experiences, good and bad and learn from them, true confidence IMO is having certainty in everything you do
"Believing that no matter what happens you’re going to be ok" is an incredibly liberating
idea. I love this

getting detached from reality made me the most confident person ive ever known lol, the key is not caring guys, your fears controlling you, if you overcome them then your anxiety is gone.. everyone is too invested in their own life, they dont care if your hair's not that good
I can vouch for this. In my younger days I used to not give 2 shits what somebody would think about me if I said this or did that, I just didn't care and every conversation/interaction I had with anyone just felt good and satisfying. These days I'm clouded by social anxiety and it's hard to enjoy being out and around people because I constantly think about how the other person is going to view me but coming across this video is reconnecting me with my past philosophy of not giving 2 shits and I have to say it feels good and thats how I know not caring really works lol. Care about what matters to you, not to them, that is the key.
@@Anthony-dw3jb Exactly, once you have control over your fears, you'll have no limits
@@prodmarquese Yes and no. Because even if you have no fears there is a difference in appearing confident and being arrogant. Whilist I do understand your point what someone like Don does is project confidence while not needing to be confident himself if that makes sense. There are subtle moviments you can do that swing a conversation in your favor and for someone with Don's knowledge he knows what clients want and needs.

As a practicing attorney, I often remind myself to pause while speaking with a judge or a jury.
It creates suspense. But more importantly, it actually allows me to hear my own thoughts and feel my feelings.
Pausing also gives the other person time to process everything I just said.
I would add that confidence is a two-way street.
I find that if I practice active listening when I speak with people and really make space for them, they open up and we then mutually instill confidence in one another.
Confidence doesn’t always have to be a competition.
i m in Law school.. i will start practicing your way
Amazing advice
you're an attorney shut up
I’m an accountant and I do this when I need to process information. It’s not an act. I need to pause to think about how to consult and problem solve.
Confidence comes from faith that things will work out fine. Every problem can be solved.
I love the idea of slowing down to think.

Confidence is built by doing something over and over until you prove to yourself that you’re actually good at it.
it's the skill you trained is - lying to yourself - does it would make you confident at anything ? cause you're sure you can do it ?
Do you know the definition of confidence?
@@ASLUHLUHC3 Do you know how the human mind works ?
Zachary is 100% right. Don’t be putting words in his comment that aren’t there.
@@MrMacBig273 You also don't know what confidence means. You get s feeling of confidence/self-assurance by appreciating your own abilities or qualities, and not necessarily being a master of any particular skill.
For instance, one could be confident at public speaking, but not necessarily be good at it.
I once saw Cesar Milan live and he said "Calm is power" and that was the strongest piece of advice I've ever heard.
A friend told me that once when we were kids.
We aren’t friends anymore because first I forgot about that, and then he forgot about that, and now we’re probably never going to talk to each other again. I forgive him now, it’s been a while, but knowing him I doubt he’s forgiven me. I don’t know if he’s capable of forgiveness. Or any real feelings, for that matter.
@@amaracea so very sad. Words spoken in haste or in anger can never be taken back. If both parties are willing and committed, then a friendship can recover and endure; but anything less is like trying to build half a bridge.
Calm means the other person cannot affect you. They might try because if they can make you react then it shows that _they_ have the power to make you react. But if you remain cool and collected no matter what happens, then you retain all of that power, and actually steal some of theirs, because now you've both seen their failure.

One thing that really helped me was making eye contact with every person I encountered on my way to the classroom!
Audrey Hepburn was asked how she seemed so poised all the time, she said she slows down. I started talking that to heart in stressful situations, and it's worked. I feel myself getting panicky in a social situation and then just walk slower, talk slower, allows your thoughts to slow down and become less reactive.
Yes ! Love that! It gives you the time to think and analyse the situation. Also taking deep breaths can help to manage our emotions ♡
Wow, I should try that.
@@gabyperez1123 :) yes, before reacting to a certain situation, before responding, taking a deep breath can help you channel your emotions and think the things through. Taking deep breaths can help you release anxiety, stress and even anger.
I worked in security. I always told my guards that when it gets crazy, slow down. Simply your list, take a deep breathe and control what you can. Seem to work as me and my team were very successful.

Two rules which I have applied a long time ago and have improved my life completely.

4:30 *Slowing things down and thinking before reacting Is something I find extremely effective*
Yeah. It’s really difficult when you’re trained growing up and your whole life that you’re dirt and everyone else is better than you - meaning, hey, respond promptly to people and don’t waste their time. It’s more valuable than yours. When you realize you’re making them wait, you feel like your face is on fire and your hands get all greasy and your chest starts trying to kill you and you can tell they’re hearing how unbelievably loud and shallow your breathing suddenly is and that sweat on your forehead is “this close” to getting in your eye and you forget what you were trying to figure out to say

Realizing that no matter what happens, I'll be okay, is exactly how I survived my childhood. I used to stress so much then after so many dramatic plot twists, I realized if I survived all that, I will survive whatever else comes my way and that's when I stopped stressing as much. I hadn't really connected it with confidence before but I can see the connection now. Interesting. 🤔
Same here. I am the only one who is not afraid to speak up, regardless of their position. After you collect your guts to stand up to your parents, you have no fear standing up to anyone :)
Truth.

In the end, most people wont survive. 🙂
So sorry to hear what happened to you. But have faith in yourself, you are strong and capable. You have survived. You will survive. Peace.

Confidence isn't about getting other peoplr to agree with you or accept you, it's about living your life without worry. I think that a lot of the reasons people watch this channel come from wanting social acceptance. Ironically, that means that for many of us (myself included), the biggest obstical to overcome in being charismatic, is what drove us to try to be in the first place.
Vael Ryker well put. When my son was about 4th grade I was listening to him and his buddy's sitting around talking. (My son was born with bi-lateral club feet) one of the boys told him, so and so is faster than you. His answer, big deal everyone is faster than me. Too cool, that ended right there. That kid tried to step on him, but found nothing to step on.

You'll end up like Edward Norton's character at the end of The Italian Job movie from 2003-
A no originality, unconfident, LOSER that can't decide who they Actually are.
1.Have a relax body language and more freely in every environment. Have selective eye contact and make eye contact when your doing a main point. Do not over react and stay non reactive. Remain in silence to think or when confused. SLOW DOWN
2.Make yourself seem as equals with others. Do not get angry and stay calm
3.believe that you will be okay in every situation no matter what
So basically accepting oneself is the very key factor on being confident, kinda mind blowing that it also goes around by the famous saying "once you start believing in yourself, anything is possible".
This is SO TRUE, 5 years ago I was a super insecure college student, got some therapy and now I'm more in love with myself than ever.

With Confidence it is also to remind yourself that everyone is going through things, everyone is up in their own heads worrying about themselves. Once you realise this it is so easy to walk around with ease and assured in who you are. Everyone is human. With any scenario that scares you, ask yourself the simple question ‘What is the worst outcome that can happen from this situation’, usually it isn’t half as bad as we make it out to be! Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. Challenge yourself everyday and you will step into a Confident Person. All the love and incredible video, Thank you x

I feel like a big part of Don's character is that even HE has his own issues with self-confidence, but he never let's people see that. When he does, that's when we start to see the layers peel back and Don's true self starts to show.
It's really all about how you project yourself to the world and those around you.
blessed words
Not necessarily the point. The point is to have true enough confidence in yourself to be able to be vulnerable in front of others, and not in a poor me way.
And then you realize that real confidence and real freedom is not having to "project" yourself to anyone .
An even bigger part of Don's character is that he's a manipulative gaslighting narcissist, definitely not someone to look up to at all
@@kayleighc1681but he’s fully aware of it and uses it to his advantage

If you spend time getting to know yourself, and learn to love and accept that person then you strengthen the most important relationship of your life, the one you have with yourself. If that relationship is solid then you always have an inner safe haven no matter what is going on around you. That self love and understanding allows you to stay true to yourself in every situation, that is the deepest form of confidence.

Yes but also improving that old self version of you is necessary sometimes, not only accepting it, doing something about if you feel unhappy about certain aspects of yourself

I totally and finally fell in love with the Don Draper character when he embraced the other guy in genuine empathy and in a gesture of comfort. That was his defining moment as a human. Also, Jon Hamm. Wow. What an amazing actor.
@Janna Zepp When the dude was describing his dream, I felt like I wanted to give him a hug. And then Don goes and actually does it, holy crap.
Greg Walker yes. It is totally conditional. We don’t like whiny wimps who tell us who they think we are. We like men who don’t blame us for everything that is wrong. We like men who like women. We hate men who hate women. So yeah. You are right. It IS conditional. Those are the conditions. I have my own money. My husband has his own money. Get a job, a clue, snd stop being a weakling.
Let’s be real here, most of Don’s confidence comes from the fact that he drinks so much. Drunk people are just more confident no matter what.
Because they arent constantly worrying about consequences and living in the moment
Yep. No matter what there's always a drink to cure what ails ya.
If only it were that easy
Don is not confident because he drinks. That is just pure nonsense. He is confident because he does not actually care about most of the things that shape other people.
He does not care about money in the way other people does, he does not care what others think and above all he is willing to just try.
Everybody knows a Don Draper. That does not mean he is a good person morality is something different.
Don Draper's confidence comes from the fact that he is a character in a TV show, and he is only written into scenes where he is, and can be, confident.
I’ve lived my life so far by the adage “this too shall pass”… idk why it stuck with me so hard the first time I heard it but it’s literally how I operate my life on the daily now.

And the no ducks given that comes out of rock bottom is what makes people relentlessly unegotistically authentic in every interaction..and relaxed biddy language.. That's confidence.. And it's unique to everyone.. Best to find your own rather than copy anyone partly.. Just comes off as creepy and untrustworthy.

Have you ever done a video on charisma and confidence demonstrated by non attractive people? That would be intriguing. As for example on this video, around 1:30, he’s leaned back and looks comfortable, but a larger person would be getting a double chin and can come across “different” because of that. That’s obviously a small thing, but it got me thinking of how every video I’ve seen relates to those that already have a natural physical attractiveness that makes “mental” attractiveness maybe not “easier” but at least amplified
Good point, maybe watching videos of guys that weren’t traditionally attractive like Churchill, Idi Amin etc (and the actors that have played them in movies). Notice what they are doing when they seem their most confident and charismatic. 😊
Be true and authentic, and we'll always be ok.
Thank you. A great and sensible comment.
I agree with that. I always feel confident being myself and since I am an honest person people generally like me, if not at the beginning, because I am not good-looking, they will end up liking my personality.
How accurate this is is actually kind of crazy. I've followed most of these in the past and have deviated recently while going through some things and allowing myself to be off balance. I used to spend so much time on my own thinking and pondering what the ideal way to be happy and so on and so forth is. At the end of my day I'd reassess: What happened today, what was the goal here, why did it go the way it did, why did someone react the way they did, what could I have done different.... ANYWAY. Being honest and therefore speaking from a place where you feel grounded and stable and therefore confident while being open to being wrong and realizing you will be ok no matter what. the world is up to your interpretation. is all there is to it.
wow that was good
Thank you for taking the time to write this.
How to be like Don Draper:
Step 1: When in doubt, remain absolutely silent
Step 2: When asked about your past give vague and open ended answers
Step 3: Have a great name
Step 4: Look fantastic in a suit, look fantastic in casual wear, look fantastic in anything. Sound good. Smell good. Kiss good. Strutt around with supreme confidence. Take 6 hour lunches. Disappear for weeks at a time! Lie to everyone about everything and most importantly... Drink and smoke constantly. Basically...
Be Don Draper

Confidence is a feeling, it's an emotion, it's thought. It's always internal.
"External confidence" as you put it, that is by definition a facade.
Or maybe a projection of internal confidence ?
fake it till you make it applies. If you act confident then eventually you will become confident, as long as it's for the right reasons.

Such a great series too. It's all about finding a path to happiness and how we're all sold a false idea of what that is. The show asks if we can change enough to be a better person, love ourselves, and find authentic joy. Don is living the idea of the American Dream, which makes him extremely confident, but inside he's a mess. He goes on on journey from realizing how shallow his "perfect life" is to accepting his truly self. And every episode it like a short story, hitting upon a different theme that explores this idea.
Highly recommended if you haven't seen it.
After watching this video I’m actually considering watching Madmen even though it’s not my kind of thing at all.
Internal confidence can also be called *SELF-ESTEEM*
- Ultimately, it boils down to mastering your own psychology and understanding that you have unlimited powers
Don Draper had self esteem? You sure?
VariableVision Absolutely! confidence isn’t something someone always radiates, it fluctuates, not everyone always feel amazing every second of every day, Don Draper definitely has had confidence at some point in his life, and may be feeling that exact way right now, it’s something you cultivate that takes time, so your answer is a bit obvious, sometimes you feel confident, sometimes not, everyone has had confidence at one point in their life
If ones self-esteem is based on the believe that one has unlimited powers, one will at some point fail and then be forced to question it. This is far from mastering ones psychology I guess...
Knowing ones limits, being confident about the potentual one has and honest about all of it seems like self-esteem that is way more natural. Just my thougt on it tho..
@@Infinite_exhilaration Don Draper definitely had confidence. But I would argue his self destructive behaviour (alcoholism, serial cheating on his wife, constant lying) is rather a sign of lack of self esteem. One should not confuse self esteem with confidence. One runs much deeper and the other is more superficial and ego-centric.
VariableVision I’m a contradiction because I agree and disagree with you. You should never mix self esteem with confidence, however... people’s behavior, it changes over time, take Robert Downey Jr by example, his life was going essentially nowhere, and he made a decision to completely change the course of his life, and arguably kick started the MCU. Now... I’m not talking that big of a change, but he could of been known for binge drinking 4 months ago, and has that stigma, but 3 weeks ago, without us knowing, he made the decision to stop drinking, or drink less and less, so... it’s very difficult in my opinion to judge someone on their past behavior when change is just one decision away, and your argument may be people don’t change, and it’s a possibility like most people they are basing that statement from their own personal experience. Today he could of made a decision to change everything around. The truth is we don’t know. It’s the same as having a best friend always hung out in Highschool, you graduated, moved to a different state, visited him 3 years later, you can be a completely different person, so much so he doesn’t even recognize you
This is what I’ve been saying for years. Once you fall into that mindset of everything is NOT going to be ok, you literally become this. Thank you... finally someone understands what I’ve been saying.
You made me remember one of my favorite episodes of Mad Men... That hug Don gives to the other man, it is just emotional 100%. Deep.

SOOO TRUUUUE
The only reason he drapes his hand over the adjacent chair so often is because his name is Don Draper and I cannot be convinced otherwise
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 best comment ever on any video in the world

@@TheDoomer666 you speak very good England sir

@@darksunrise37 it’s a joke-
Besides what is going on under your own roof and that of your loved ones, treat life as a game and everything will be all right. That includes the position that everything will be okay no matter what. If you implement this concept, you will never get nervous, anxious, fidgety. You will be in control of yourself and the situation you are in and you won’t be afraid to put people in their place (nicely or not sometimes) when they get out of line. The world will be your oyster and the world will get out of your way of making things happen.
"You'll stop worrying that other people will reject you because you know you'll never reject yourself."
I was taken aback by how hard that line hit me.
Instructions unclear, drank titanic volumes of whiskey and cheated on wife
Call that Roger 😂😂😂😂

@@DkGrassyKnoll i loved that episode
But did you do it with confidence
You're almost there.
The great idea of this video is that we will be OK, no matter what other people will think of us, if we embrace ourselves. It is such an insight. Thank you for this fascinating video!
Good points raised but remember that this is a trained, professional actor, not naturally as shown in the movies. To be this type of confident takes a great deal more than just trying, doing or acting, but becoming that character in every way. Keep that in mind when trying, faking, doing or acting a part in front of others when such a character isn't your own natural self in everyday normal life.
Jon Hamm is a great actor. I saw him cooking on a talk show. He doesn’t walk, move, or gesture like Don Draper at all! He’s a totally different type.
I have theory about actors... not all, but some. They get so good at becoming (acting) another person they may be tempted to identify as that character in real life. And they get so good at the character that they lose themselves... sometimes intentionally. This could cause much anxiety and suffering. I'm sure we'll never really know but it might explain why in spite of fame and fortune some are secretly very unhappy people
@@awakentruth1116 ...that's a very good point.
Top Notch commentary on Don's traits, his not give a *F* what others think factor is a huge confidence trait
Watch it again.
Building self-confidence will change your life.
Have an amazing day.
100% truth
You can't change your life, it only happens once.
No, YOU have an amazing day.

The secret to having confidence is radiating Presence. To radiate presence is a knowing that you are enough. Knowing you are enough is knowing that you already have what you need.
Lions are good at this….they’re not the biggest or the fastest but their presence is everything
Perfect video man. I am always amazed by the understanding you have of how people work and how to improve their lives. Your contribution is invaluable.
Another factor in why Don is so darn good at all of this is that he is a fictional character with a team of 12 writers controlling every situation, every reaction, every move, every word of every character in every scene. It's easy to make someone god like when for all intents and purposes the character actually is god like, with every aspect of every scene carefully designed and orchestrated by a huge team of writers, sound people, lighting people, costume designers, set directors, on and on, plus the director and other actors setting him up constantly project that great Don Draper image. It takes more to be Don Draper than just confidence. No one is Don Draper.
You’re right, but remember that characters are developed from real life experiences/stories. Writers take personalities and character traits of real people and create a fictional character. It’s not as if Dons character is albeit non relatable, he is very relatable and there’s a lot to learn from Don Draper
I know he' a fictional character, but hes a big role model to me
Edit: Let me Clarify, a role model for confidence, and anything relating to that, because as a kid (i obviously didnt have it as hard as the character) i was homeless most of the time, bullied, shy, people pleaser, rarely stood up for myself, etc. And i admire how don handles people who dont agree with him and does what he want, even if its confrontational (I dont admire all the cheating, lying, and manipulating he does)
I hope this clears things up
Btw, Thank You guys for all the likes an comments
Stealing then identity of a real soldier when Don was too much of a coward and clutz.
Taking credit for someone else's work
Compulsovely lying
???
you need a new role model
@_CalmPsycho _ You did not get the point. He has NPD the confidence is superficial to mask his emptiness and in the process hurts his family. A man who hurts his family is no man as the purpose of a man is the health of his family.
He's a role model for uber amounts of confidence and seducing/marketing skills. But other than that he's the farthest thing from a role model.
I seriously hope no one watched this whole video without watching all of Mad Men first, because that clip from the final season is one of the most impactful I've ever seen. I cry just re-watching the clip because when seen in the original context it's unbelievably powerful.
Harvey Specter would've been a much better example for this video.
I didn't even seen Mad Men and I almost cried at the guy's dream and Don's hug, wtf. Massive spoiler i guess

Thanks for the warning...I actually haven’t yet. Wasn’t yet out, back when I watched the series. And now, I‘ll probably have to rewatch everything m because it has been so long 😄
Totally agree dude. It hits me hard the same way. And I don't really appreciate just blowing it in a video with no warning. This is a masterpiece and it deserves a little respect.
I love seeing platonic, meaningful, affection and support between men on screen and in person. It makes me emotional lol
This video... I’ve seen quite a few of yours. This one really hit home for me and confidence felt and projected has not been an issue for me for decades. Well done
This is the first video on this channel I've seen. I just hope I don't forget to implement the tips!
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."
I was manspreading on the bus to act more confident and I ended up getting slapped again.
That’s so selfish, how dare you not leave space for the people next to you, you don’t own the bus man
Zip up your flies next time.
Manspreading? You mean having balls?
Alphas don't offend a women's mating instincts. Beta's are percieved as falsely advertising when manspreading.
Weren't manspreading enough
Please analyze Thomas Shelby from Peaky Blinders. Easily the most charismatic character out there. Thumbs up of you agree!
By order of the Peaky Blinders 👍

Learning how to control emotion under pressure is a priceless life skill not only for confidence!! 💖💖
This video was so powerful, I'm going to save it and come back to it anytime I feel unconfident. There shouldn't be a reason not to feel confident.
1. Be relaxed and move freely
Being in a relaxed posture or in a confident stance will make you comfortable with your surroundings, making you not stressed in situations. Moving freely and making yourself "at home" will display a sense of ownership and make you seem like "the boss" wherever you are.
2. Be non-reactive and give yourself time to pause
Being nonreactive will make you seem impenetrable and untouched by anything that comes your way. When you pause you give yourself more time to come up with a better response to any given situation. This includes not fidgeting and controlling you emotional behavior
3. Be willing to walk away
If you feel that something is not working out the way you want it to, be willing to walk away from that situation. It is better to walk away then waste your time
4. Tell yourself that everything will be okay
A form of internal confidence, having the ability to tell yourself that everything will be okay even in the worst situations will build your mental toughness and the mindset will help you overcome the bad situations you face.
*I apologize for the bad wording
NEVER apologize for such great expression ❤
This is the only self-improvement channel which I genuinely feel like I'm being provided real value...not just some fake advice to start buying into a cult following like so many other self-help channels. Been following this channel since way before 1 mil subs and I'm really happy to see how much this channel has grown.
Watch some of Alex Becker's videos trust
The ending is AMAZING, throughout the whole video i was like "yeah, okay but that's just a persona, just an act - and when i was younger and starting self development i thought that THIS was what meant to be confident but it's far from true self belief and conviction, the place where true confidence comes from. So, cool tips but it's not what i need righ-" then lesson 4 started.
And you nailed it. It's so fundamental to stress this, to know where confidence, self-belief, comes from. Great, great video.
Incredibly helpful! That no fidgetting is no joke though - when the hair gets in the eyes it's over
I think just quickly removing the hair from your eyes wouldn't mean too much, but Im not an expert
I worked hard on myself after watching Don. I am now up to five packs a day, and my prospects look at me like I am from another time or something.
Good one 😂
I was struggling with social anxiety for a while. I went to therapy, got it fixed, and now I've been doing these things without even knowing the "theory" behind it. It just came naturally. Old friends of mine say I'm a completely different person. And I can see it. It's really strange.
what did u do to get over your anxiety, may i ask?
@@nykhilsandhu Medication, therapy and someone who was very close to me. That last one was the most important part.
@@Randommmmm204 thanks mate, got any tips that I can implement now?
@@nykhilsandhu Honestly, fake it till you make it. Act confident even though you aren't and eventually the confidence will come to you. Also, I think a good exercise for conversation is talking to strangers online. Just talk with them. Your anxiety will basically disappear because of the anonymity. That depends on the seed of your anxiety too though. Listen, I'm not an expert. I highly suggest going to a therapist. But you have to talk freely. Don't hold anything back. And the therapist isn't there to fix your problems, he/she's there to walk you through all of this. Make you realize what's wrong with you, where it started and give you tips on how to change yourself to be better.
@@Randommmmm204 thank you so much mate, really appreciate your help :)

You know, I've always had this mindset almost without realising it, but I never connected that to my internal confidence. Recently I got into a rather large personal crysis and I've abandoned that belief. This video really helped me remember it and put that gear back into place so that I may function again.
Thank you. Love your work. Keep going.
There’s a reason alcohol is called liquid courage.
😂😂 spot on
Yes sir that's old time medicine right there ain't no stress balls ordered from the therapist at two sessions a week but hey whatever works for you that's what counts no matter what era your from
One drink ain't enough Jack you better make it three
Fixing problems builds your personality. Alcohol destroys it.
It's also called liquid jackass
after watching this video i have learned the art of confidence, now wherever i go everyone treats me like a boss. the ower of charisma best
really
Today, in hopes of attracting attention from my crush, I made several jokes in class and everyone laughed including the teacher! Thanks for giving me confidence. I'm still getting there...
Proud of you bro and dont be afraid to get rejected
How to get confidence?
-Get on your purpose. Learn a trade or a skill. Become master at it. Monetise it and that's it.
IF you are good at something, you will be confident.
Simple.
DFDX truth! Confidence in one area automatically spills over into other areas
