Hello question asker!

Doing small things well can help you overcome your inferiority complex and become confident.

I used to feel the same way. I'm not as nervous or anxious anymore. I'm more comfortable in crowds.

I'm not confident, but I'm comfortable. Believe in yourself and you'll be fine.

Try to figure out when it started. It may be related to your family and education, but it doesn't matter. When you're aware of it and looking for answers, you're on the road to change.

The questioner can think about what they want and how they can get it. When you get what you want, how will you feel?

Who will notice you're different?

The questioner is anxious about not being able to find a job. Start with a job that doesn't require a formal interview. Find a job to relieve your anxiety, and then learn and grow.

I don't know the situation, so I'll give some suggestions.

1. Change your mindset and build inner strength.

Everyone has an inferiority complex. Don't worry about it. Think positively and do what you say. If you keep your word, you will gain confidence.

Believe in yourself.

We can't move forward because we don't believe we can. This is a subconscious belief that we may not be able to detect if we don't look deeper. But this makes us feel helpless, so it's important to believe in yourself.

Believing in yourself is like hypnotizing yourself. Hypnosis comes from life and is reflected in every aspect of life.

My psychology teacher told me to pretend to be confident. If you pretend to be confident, you will become confident.

② Positive mental suggestion

This has been studied by psychologists. Tell yourself every day: I'm the best, I can do it, I believe in myself.

This is like normal encouragement, but it will make us stronger.

3. Find your strengths and success stories.

If you're not confident, you'll be happy when others praise you, but you'll still doubt yourself. But you can change this. Everyone has good things about them. If you want to change, find what's good about you and make it better.

Everyone has had a good experience. It will help us to recall it.

I feel confident when I think about how happy I was when I learned hypnosis and hypnotized someone. I also felt happy when I told others about my learning journey.

4. Believe in the power of accumulation.

No matter how big the stone is, it cannot stop the seed from sprouting. Once the seed starts to sprout, it will never stop growing. Everyone knows that a drop of water can wear through a stone, but how many people actually do it?

If you want to make a change, you need to be patient and take things one step at a time.

5. To change, you need to learn new things.

The more you learn, the wider your perspective becomes. When things happen, you can respond with a calm mind and easily figure out what to do. This helps you prepare for the future.

6. Get help.

You can study psychology, take psychology courses for public welfare, or seek help from a counselor. A counselor will help you find the root cause of your problems and develop your potential. You can try all of these.

I suggest reading "Inferiority and Transcendence," "The Courage to Be Disliked," "The Brain's Code for Happiness," and "Mr. Toad Goes to the Psychologist."

If you don't give up and do your best, you'll become more confident.

Come on! The world loves you!

Warm regards!

I am a senior who will soon be graduating. I had the opportunity to interview with several companies in March and have since been accepted by one. Due to the ongoing pandemic, I have not yet started my new role, so I hope I can answer some of your questions.

I believe that one of the greatest challenges we face is the tendency to lose confidence as we navigate life's journey. This can happen in a number of ways, including the influence of others' opinions or the observation of others excelling in certain areas. These factors, if not handled with care, can lead to a loss of self-assurance.

The answerer is a person who used to be afraid to go to a physical store to buy clothes. They were afraid of other people's stares and felt that every beautiful piece of clothing required the largest size. Confidence can be lost in such circumstances, but it's important to remember that it's not helpful to throw oneself away. I've since realised that it's not helpful to let others influence our choices. I now go to physical stores to browse and buy whatever I find suitable.

It may seem like a biased question, but I assure you it's not. I believe that confidence must exist in our bodies; we just need to reawaken it, as it may be dormant at the moment.

Secondly, I believe that life presents us with challenges and setbacks, but it is how we respond to them that determines our determination. We can learn from our previous interview experiences and strive to do even better next time. During my university years, I had the opportunity to provide interview guidance to my classmates. I often suggested a three-step approach: first, second, and last. In my opinion, the key to answering questions is not necessarily the number of words used, but rather the clarity and logical coherence of one's thinking.

A three-part answer can demonstrate your logical reasoning. During the interview, if you encounter a question that you haven't prepared for, it's important to take a moment to think about it. Consider what comes to mind in your head and divide it into three parts. It's natural to feel a bit nervous at first, but it's essential to remain calm and believe in yourself. You have the potential to succeed.

Ultimately, by taking the time to do things well, you can gradually build up your self-esteem. I want to offer you this positive perspective. While doing small things well is not always easy, it is a valuable learning experience. We can all benefit from reflecting on our mistakes and striving to do better next time. This is the essence of learning from small things.

Celestia Jackson Knowledge from different sources converges to form the edifice of erudition.

Transforming from selfdoubt to confidence is a journey that starts with small steps. Each day, focus on accomplishing one tiny goal that pushes you out of your comfort zone. Celebrate these little victories as they stack up, and gradually, you'll build the courage to tackle bigger challenges.

Sterling Miller Teachers are the watchdogs of knowledge, protecting it from being misused.

Confidence can grow when we stop comparing our progress to others and start measuring it against our own past. Look back at how far you've come, acknowledge the growth, and give yourself credit for overcoming obstacles. Remember, even small improvements count.

Fern Thomas Honesty is the essence of a good character.

Sometimes, the key to boosting confidence lies in reframing our perspective. Instead of seeing job interviews as daunting ordeals, try viewing them as opportunities to learn. Each interview teaches you something valuable, regardless of the outcome.

Willow Miller The more one explores different branches of knowledge, the more they expand their mental horizons.

Building confidence also involves accepting that not everything will go perfectly. It's okay if the questions you prepared for weren't asked; this unpredictability can help you become more adaptable. Focus on what you can control—your preparation and attitude—and let go of the rest.
