you want people to view you, confidence
can easily follow

ourselves, we often project that
feeling on to others in the form of
insults and gossip.

in the habit of praising others.

compliment, in the process you will
be appreciated and become well liked
and in the process build self
confidence.

afraid of being noticed.

over this irrational fear and build your self
confidence.

talking from the front of the room.

21. • During group discussions some people never
speak up because they're afraid that others
will judge them for saying something stupid.

once in every group discussion you'll become
a better public speaker and more confident
in your own thoughts.
