Introducing Yourself to People You Don’t Know – How Confident are You?
I feel incredibly blessed to have found the most amazing group of friends… but it sure wasn’t easy at first.
When you go to a friend of a friend’s party or meet colleagues from your new job for dinner, you may be consumed with thoughts of how you don’t fit in or that you can’t seem to utter anything intelligent. We all want to be the “cool ones” (as did our younger selves) and not even give a second thought to other people’s judgments — but, it happens.
The voice in our heads can get the better of us.
Learning how to feel confident meeting new people can be intimidating especially if you don’t enjoy unfamiliar social situations. Self-doubt, holding back and subjecting ourselves to negative personal analysis can stop us from approaching others.
How to build confidence
Confidence isn’t about superficial stuff. It comes from knowing that you have the knowledge, tools, wisdom and demeanor that make others want to be with you.
The way we feel about ourselves impacts directly on the way we interact with others. If we feel happy and at ease, conversation flows freely. When we feel anxious and overwhelmed, we clam up.
