What Is The Best Way To Improve Self Confidence And Self Esteem?
I find that often time when speaking in a group I tend to get nervous when speaking and hesitate to offer my opinions/ideas because of the fear that it may sound stupid to the others. I often time stutter when I speak for that same reason. How can I just clear my mind and speak with confidence not caring about any mistakes. What is the best way to gain the confidence and improve my self esteem.

Sure, speaking in a group can be a nerve-racking experience, but I would just focus really hard on the main QUESTION (as if it is more interesting than the other people standing there, what they think of you or the way you stutter) Clear everything in your head, and just answer the question as if you had asked it – your answer should just then flow naturally
The absolutely most important thing you need to do is face your fears. That’s the reason you’re uncomfortable in the first place.
That, and you absolutely must start speaking up in class. Face the fear and act.
Once you face the fear and start to get more successes under your belt, you will gain confidence.
Here’s a link that explains it a little betterhttp://www.epicnights.net/all-confidence…
everyone does stupid things trust me. the most popular kids are the ones that do embarrassing stuff but they just laugh about it. every time i do something stupid i make fun of myself and i laugh about it with everyone else. don’t be afraid of making mistakes because everyone else makes them. now don’t make fun of people’s mistakes, that is not a good way to boost your self-esteem because you may feel good about yourself but you are hurting peoples’ feelings. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes because no one is perfect, everyone makes them.
THE best way to do it is to do something like speaking in a group and do it again and again and again.
When you see confident people in group situations, you must remember that they’re only confident because they’ve practiced lots.
And that’s what you have to do too…
Good luck
