Impress Yourself!

Impress Yourself…

"I suck!"

Have you ever said this when you did something wrong? Saying this makes it true! Someone saying this and meaning it is indicating a psychological weakness.

Many people struggle with self-esteem issues growing up. Did you ever confront a low self-esteem? What can you do about it? The first step is taking ownership of how you feel about yourself. How you see yourself is more important than how others see you. Ultimately they can leave you and go on their merry way (and they may be more likely to do so if you have low self-esteem).

However, you can never get away from yourself!

Therefore, don't feel like you are stuck hanging around with a loser - yourself. Why not become a winner? Then people will be influenced by you and want to be around you.

I became the type of person I was attracted to, by making a conscious decision to get over my fear of talking to people and joking around. Consequently, I raised my self-esteem and became a very confident person.

Why not choose the type of person you want to be? Why not develop the positive personality traits you lack? I was annoyed by people always bugging me about being too quiet in my first year of high school. On top of that, I personally preferred the company of more talkative people that could make me laugh. So I made a conscious decision to become more talkative and to learn how to make people laugh. I could make people laugh by the end of my second year.

You can do the same! What personality traits do you consider attractive? There is no need to change to impress others or win friends. You put yourself in a vulnerable position and are easily influenced by peer pressure if you place too much emphasis on what other people think about you - it's surrendering your self-image to others. In the possession of a negative person, your self-image could be destroyed!

Therefore, instead of trying to impress everyone, why not only be concerned with what people that love you and are important to you think about you? The most important person in this context is yourself, so concentrate on impressing him or her! Once you can impress yourself with the kind of person you are, other people will naturally be attracted to you.
