Gaining confidence and feeling happier
Have you ever met someone who seems to be brimming with self-confidence, oozing charisma and oozing success? You know the type: they're confident enough to march into a room and take control, charismatic enough to draw people towards them like moths to a flame. You just wish that you could be like that yourself, but somehow you find it hard to believe in your own abilities or believe that you're worth all this fuss.
We all need to be self-confident and driven to succeed, but sometimes, when the going gets tough, we can feel far from it.

This is a trick that many very successful people use to great effect and you can do it too. The first step is to find your true calling and recognize what makes you different in a positive way. If you are struggling with this, take some time away from your everyday life and go somewhere serene where there are no distractions for 24 hours or more (I recommend the beach). Once there, write down everything about yourself on paper—your strengths, weaknesses, fears and dreams—and then write out three things that make you unique compared to others who are also interested in achieving greatness as well as overcoming their own personal challenges along the way (for example: “I always find a way” or “I am extremely good at keeping my cool under pressure). Then reflect on whether or not these attributes will help others achieve their goals as well; if they don't add value then ditch them!
You are not alone in this; it affects us all at different times. So how do you battle through and keep your self-confidence intact?
The first step to defeating your negative thoughts is recognizing that they are normal. It's not just you; everyone has bad days and moments in which they feel like a failure. The key is to not let these feelings get the better of you or allow them to affect your life in a negative way.
When you're having a tough time, try to focus on the positive aspects of your life rather than dwelling on the negative ones. For example, if someone at work says something mean, remind yourself that other people have made similar comments before and it didn't affect their relationship with you. Remind yourself that there are many good qualities about yourself as well as many things that make up for any perceived imperfections (e.g., "I'm loyal," "I try my best," etc.).
Don't let what other people say affect how much confidence in yourself because ultimately no one knows everything about everyone else; therefore making judgments based off limited information can be dangerous since even though someone may seem confident on the outside there could easily be many things going on within them internally which makes them feel insecure about themselves despite their outward appearance otherwise being confident!
Finally don't take anything personally since often times communication does not always go both ways when interacting with others - just remember not everything said by someone else directly relates back onto themselves but rather could also mean something completely different than what was originally intended; therefore making judgments based off limited information can be dangerous since even though someone may seem confident on the outside there could easily be many things going on within them internally which makes them feel insecure about themselves despite their outward appearance otherwise being confident!
So they put on a front or adopt an alter ego to cope with their crisis of confidence.

If you're feeling like a fraud, it's important to remember that everyone feels this way at some point in their careers. And it's not just those who are new to the workforce or starting out on their own; even the most confident people have moments when they doubt themselves.
The important thing is not to let these feelings take over your life. You can't control what other people think of you, but you can control how you react to their opinions. The first step is recognizing that feeling like a fraud is normal; everyone goes through it at some point in their career.
This is a trick that many very successful people use to great effect and you can do it too.
Don't be afraid to ask for help.
Don't be afraid to ask for advice.
Don't be afraid to ask for a second opinion.
Don't be afraid to ask for help with the problems that you have encountered in your life, because others have been there too and can relate and provide valuable insight into how they overcame those obstacles, or how they learned from them once they were overcome!
Believe me no one will know you are not feeling as confidant as you look and In no time at all you will have thought yourself confidant.
The real you is waiting to emerge. Believe me, no one will know that you're not feeling as confidant as you look and in no time at all you will have thought yourself confidant. It’s a great way to boost your confidence!
Your new alter ego may become second nature.
You may be asking yourself, what exactly is an alter ego? It's a second personality that you create for yourself. The new you doesn't have to be someone else; it can simply be a version of yourself who acts differently than your regular self. You will find that with enough practice, this alternate version of yourself will become second nature and can help you tackle all kinds of problems in life.
Conclusion
My advice is to get used to putting on a front and changing your attitude. It will take some practice but it will get easier in no time at all. And remember that you are not alone in this struggle; we all feel less than confident at times so don't let it hold back your success!
