Love yourself
No one will treat you as well as you treat yourself. Until a person loves himself, no one will love him either. Finding freedom begins when a person is charged with healthy egoism. This feeling will never allow you to compromise your principles.
However, in life it often happens like this: a person begins to live with the opinion and interests of other people. He completely loses his "I" and refers to himself as to any thing. Some women are so carried away by family problems that they forget about their own. Sometimes such a representative of the fair sex brings herself to a state of complete hopelessness.
All the problems that occur with children or with her husband, she takes on her shoulders. As a result, there is not enough strength, and health problems begin. Further events develop only in a bad direction. If nothing is done, it can reach the point that a woman becomes indifferent to everything that happens and loses her taste for life. This will indicate that she was seized by complete lack of will.

Get your appearance in order first. Go to the treatments and the hairdresser. No wonder they say that they are greeted by their appearance, but escorted by their inner state.
That's why be sure to start changing from the inside out. Remember that you have your own interests and desires. However, such simple tips are suitable for absolutely everyone who wants to get rid of their internal problems.

For example, men who are unsure of their abilities can also be advised to start changing from the inside and draw attention to themselves. If you are an irreplaceable employee at work, and your bosses and colleagues take advantage of it, then put an end to this discrimination.
Ask yourself the question: "Why should I work for free and after hours?" Then contact your boss with this question. If you are persuasive, you will soon get promoted. EIf you are not appreciated at work, why do you need such a job? Think about this question. This is exactly what a person who has a healthy sense of selfishness will do.

The best way to do this is to exercise self-confidence.
- Take a piece of paper, use a pen to divide it into two parts. Write down all your weaknesses in one part, and your strengths in the other. Believe me, you will find a lot of positive traits in yourself, and after that you will have at least a little, but self-confidence.

Remember this point and try to fix it. To do this, the next time you interact with the boss, grab your fingers and keep them under control.
- Have a virtual, honest conversation with the person who creates a sense of self-doubt in your mind. To do this, place two chairs opposite each other. Sit on one of them and imagine that your opponent is sitting on the other. Have a frank conversation with him and understand that all your fears were in vain.
- Imagine a situation that constantly makes you feel self-conscious. Now imagine what you would do if you got rid of your shyness?
- Ask your loved one to identify and write down all of your positive qualities on paper. Let the interlocutor also argue his conclusions.
- Get creative and make a collage of your merits. To do this, take a poster and stick pictures that personify your positive qualities. Hang this picture in the most conspicuous place.
- Every person has an idol, or at least a personality that he admires. So, imagine the circumstances in which this person would experience shyness. Imagine what your idol would do in one case or another. List its strengths.
- Keep a list of good events and analyze them using questions like these: “Which ones were initiated by other people?”; “What events were triggered at your request?”; “How many were there?”; "What are you willing to go to to increase the number of positive events?"
- Try to develop some kind of talent... For example, you can become an artist at any age. If you are useful to society, then everyone will always treat you with respect.
- You need to be able to forget negative experiences... Bad thoughts are disturbing and cause self-doubt. Therefore, learn to relax. This can be done anywhere. The main thing is to find a secluded corner. In a space where you can feel safe, lie down or sit down. Then completely relax, and then sharply contract all your muscles. Let them become like stone. Such manipulations must be done in turn about 10 times.
Stay completely relaxed and stay that way for a while. Finish the relaxation with a deep breath and then exhale.

- Let only the best things surround you... Use them even at home. Don't put off a comfortable and beautiful life for later.

Now let's look at tips that will help the stronger sex.
- remember, that a man must have a lot of skills... When you know that you can help the people around you (for example, fix the outlet, fix the tap, etc.), you will feel much more confident in society and enjoy life.
- Do not refuse outside help... For example, if a person gives you good advice, then use this support. After you've successfully put the advice into practice, thank your benefactor.
- Do not be condescending to the people around you, showing that you are much better. Perhaps the person in front of whom you want to show your superiority is much smarter or stronger than you. Then he can prove it at any moment. By these actions, he will put you in an awkward position, and your self-confidence will decrease significantly.
- You have to get stylish. This will make you feel much more comfortable and stop being complex in front of those handsome men who look much better than you in terms of style.
- Help people and animals. Show nobility. On the Internet, we can see a large number of videos where men save kittens. Such actions inspire respect from others. Remember this.
- Start attending the gym. After all, playing sports develops positive emotions. You can also improve your figure, build muscle. The appearance of a man is one of the main components of a successful man.
- Don't try to look better than you really are. Some men like to "swagger" in public. Do not forget that at any time you can be put in place. Then you will feel ashamed of your behavior and your self-esteem will drop to a minimum.
- Begin to do things that make you uncomfortable... For example, try meeting a girl you like on the street.
