First I have to say that the surprise will be online next week. It will be something what will be up every first thursday of the month, so please stay tuned. But now something about confidence.
Even
while sometimes it’s hard to face. Everyone sometimes has trouble with their
confidence. Even the people who you wouldn’t suspect to have it. Even the
biggest show off at school sometimes feels as big as his little toe.
It’s
impossible somebody never isn’t confident of himself. The bullies hide it by
bullying, the popular guys hide it by acting like they’re though, and the girls
hide it under three kilos of make-up.
I don’t
try to hide it, people just don’t notice it. And the worst thing about that, is
that you’re on your own when you’re feeling down and have nobody to talk to.
However,
because I had nobody, I helped myself to get my confidence back. And that gave
me a lot of knowledge that you might be able to use to get yourself up when
feeling down.
To start
it off, try and let people notice you’re not feeling so well. Talking really
helps. Knowing there’s somebody for you is one of the best things to feel when
you’re down. It looks really simple, but it really helps. And even when it
doesn’t help you all the way out of the canyon by just talking, you can always
ask one of your friends to do something.
Which
brings me to the second point. Do something fun, distract yourself. Whether
it’s smoking with your friends (if you’re a smoker of course), or writing a
story, a poem or a blog. Every distraction helps to forget your problems. But
whatever you do, don’t do drugs to make the feeling go away. It will make them
come back and even make them worse. Whatever you do, just don’t even touch that
crap, it’s really the worst thing you could do when feeling down.
Something
which really helped me out is finding something you’re good at. I used to do a
lot of pixel art, it’s a great distraction and the more you improve, the better
you’ll start to feel. You’ll be getting lots of compliments which can greatly
help you out. And you might get something useful out of it!
From
little drawings to singing, everything is possible! Every time you’re doing it
you’ll improve. Even singing, because in every person hides a voice. Don’t be
shy, if you get yourself a nickname, people won’t know it’s you, so if you
start singing and it turns out to be not that good, nobody can haunt you with
it, just make sure to not show your face ;) If one thing doesn’t work out, find
another. Never give up! Everybody has a hidden talent.
Ok. The
next thing might sound a little weird, but one of the things that can really
help, is just telling yourself you’re a great guy. Just stand in front of the
mirror, and talk to yourself as if you were talking to a friend. It sounds
really stupid, but do it when nobody is watching. Just talk the confidence into
yourself. It might be a little disturbing at the start, but I promise, the more
often you do it, the faster you’ll get profit from it.
And
finally, never lose hope, because one day, everything will be alright. One day,
you will have everything you want. Well, not everything, I can’t promise you’ll
become rich, or famous. But you will have everything you need. It took me
nearly four years without any help, I just hope these words can help you do it
faster than me.
Good
luck and let me know if this helped you out!
