Chapter 2:
Answers To Lack Of Self confidence
Synopsis
Most people are very private about their emotions, especially if these emotions are not of the positive sort. However when it comes to lack of self-confidence, there is very little one can do to disguise the weakness which is usually very evident.
Know The Signs
There are several notable signs that clearly show the lack of confidence in an individual, and with some practice, these signs can be used to help the person identify the areas where there is a lack of self-confidence and work towards overcoming this negativity. One of the obvious signs is when the individual if full of excuses as to why he or she should not be considered for a particular task. To make matters worse, when the task encounters problems, the individual would probably be one of the first to bail.
Other signs would include the ever ready excuse given should something go wrong, even if it was accidental. When it comes to confident people, they would just apologize for the mistake and move on. If they decided an explanation should be forth coming, only then, will they extend this courtesy. Otherwise they are confident enough to presume that an apology will suffice.
If an individual is seeking answers for their lack of self-confidence, then the first place to look would be within oneself. Lack of confidence usually stems from deeper issues, such as being consistently told or reminded of the individual’s uselessness, being put down a lot, being laughed at and many other possible and probable negative remarks that are so embedded in the mind, that the individual is unable to function without drawing on and being reminded of this negativity.
Other ways of seeking answers to solve this dilemma of lack of self-confidence would be to listen to as much motivational material as possible. Reading motivational material is also encouraged, as it will help to give the necessary guidance needed to alter the mindset and perception of things and the people around.
