If you want to feel more confident, you should modify your body language and appearance to feel confident.

This is where posture, smile, eye contact, and conversation play a role. Imagine a person with an upright stance and a grin, and you will see someone self-assured. The simple gesture of pushing your shoulders back conveys to others that you are self-assured. Smiling makes you feel better but makes others feel more at ease around you. Maintaining eye contact with the person you are having a conversing with, rather than your shoes, demonstrates confidence. Finally, talk gently. According to research, folks who take the time to speak slowly feel more secure and look more confident to others. The extra benefit is that they will comprehend what you are saying.

Go the additional mile and style your hair, shave cleanly, and dress well. This will not only make you feel better about yourself, but it will also make others regard you as accomplished and self-assured. An excellent tip: Before stepping out, practice wearing a new outfit at home to work out any wardrobe malfunctions.

If you take your time to do all those things, you will feel better and start looking at yourself in a whole different way.
