Self Confidence Going UglyHave you ever met anyone who's overflowing with self confidence, to the point where it's down right ugly? Let's explore self confidence to see how too much of it can turn against you... Low Self ConfidenceWith low self confidence every situation could potentially turn into great embarrassment. Take the shy guy for example, who's on his first date with a girl he's just fallen in love with. Since he's not comfortable round the opposite sex he's really tense and worried about saying the wrong things. A date could be as exhausting as sitting through a job interview, an endless cycle of profuse sweating and blushing. Building lasting self confidence is a matter of accepting yourself the way you are and knowing what you're capable of. As you already know, improved self confidence makes for comfort and ease and can have most positive effects on your life. Confident AthletesThese days athletes go through intensive mental training to supercharge their self confidence
But hold on for a second, I've seen the negative effects of intensive mental training. Goal orientation and self confidence exercises can be pushed to the extreme where you start developing a super ego. So, being obsessed with confidence building can have the most undesirable consequences. ModerationImproved self confidence is highly sought after and can have really positive effects on your life but like with everything - aim for moderation. Best of luck!
