Spend time everyday finding things that are positive about yourself, even if theyâre really small, and when you find things you donât like about yourself, come up with things you can do towards changing those things even if itâs really small steps.
Itâs not something that will change overnight. It takes time. And it takes effort. But not Herculean effort. Just work towards it a little bit at a time.
Read examples of positive affirmations online. Find things that are true about yourself in them. Work towards the things you donât think are true.
Donât overwhelm yourself. Itâs not a race, and you donât have to be perfect - no one is.
The thing about affirmations and all that jazz is it doesnt work for low self esteem. It only works for confident people.
I think the intention people have with affirmations is to say it until you believe it but your subconcious doesnt believe it and knows its not true so you end up feeling worse.
@anon67051439 you should just practice accepting your self as you are flaws and all just like everyone of us has our own flaws.
You can remind yourself you dont need to show off in front of your friends because they are already your friends. They chose to hang out with you regardless if you decide to show off your not. And hey sometimes we all say stupid â â â â when were hanging out with buddies.
So i think the key is first accept we are all flawed human beings with different personalities and thats ok! And being able to recognize and have a laugh at that helps you be more comfortable with yourself too.
Iâm not a confident person and it has been helping me. The key is to make the statements true for you
For example, I want to get better mental health wise. so instead of saying âI am getting better everydayâ. I say â if I work at it every day, Iâll get betterâ.
Unless you have Touretteâs, you should be able to control whatever youâre about to say.
Are you telling us that you canât refrain? Or that you could, but you wonât cause you enjoy talking dirty?
Per se itâs not a problem unless youâre a public speaker or a diplomat.
@LilyoftheValley made a good point above. Try to develop your other personality facets, besides sexuality. As you grow more confident, your attention and speech will naturally shift towards other topics.
