Cheerful upbeat, music, bell, chiming Amanda, Hey Psych2Goers, and welcome back to another video. If you’re new here, welcome to Psych2Go Confidence.Some people are born with an innate streak of confidence.Whilst it takes a little time for others to develop confidence as they develop from children into adults, there will be times when your confidence takes a knock right.It’s common to feel like you wish.Your confidence was better, While other things that are out of control may impact your confidence, such as other people.It’s, important to know which things you are in control of and how you can prevent yourself from destroying your confidence.So here are nine habits that are destroying your confidence Number one.You care too much about what other people think.How many times have you said to yourself Cartoon I don’t care what other people think about me?Amanda, Honestly, the tally isn’t quite encouraging. Is it Cartoon laughing Cartoon No Amanda That’s? Okay? It’s common to care about what other people think, especially if we’re trying to impress them As human beings.You want to be liked and respected by others.However, when you value other people,’s, thoughts and opinions above your own, and change your behavior to reflect what you think others want to see.You’re doing more harm than good for yourself Number.Two negative thinking cartoons I’m, not good enough.I can’t do this.Amanda You’ve had one too many of those days.Have. ‘t you Cartoon Uh, huh Amanda.You become what you think, If you always think you’re, not good enough, then you’ll never be confident.Do you have thoughts that you can never get that promotion, even though you are qualified That’s, negative thinking Indulging in pessimism creates a self-fulfilling prophecy Cartoon. Oh boy, Amanda Yeah, you’re gradually destroying your self-confidence with all of these thoughts. Reframing those negative thoughts to say I am good enough to get this, job and I need to show: my skills: can reinforce a more, positive mindset: It 39, s crucial, to focus: on what you can do instead of worrying about the outcomes that you can’t Control Number three social media living.Do you compare your lifestyle with your friends on social media Or how many times have you thought that your social media life is better than your own life? The pretty pictures people paint on social media, as we know, are not always as they appear to be.If you consistently find yourself comparing yourself to others living in your own version of reality, and only putting out what you want the world to see, then you may notice that this has an impact on your confidence in the real world.Once you start to understand that this is not what everyday life is like, then you should start to feel more grounded.Number four self-deprecating talk When you diminish what you do you’re taking shots at your self-confidence.If every time you speak in a personal or professional setting – and you say that you’re – not that great – you’re diminishing your worth and value When you’re constantly communicating that you’re, not that great it’s bound to make.You feel less than confident Writer C S, Lewis once said, Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but it’s.Thinking of yourself less So remember that and try not to confuse humility with self-deprecation Number five.The blame game is your favorite sport.When you find yourself in a situation that you are not happy with such as a job that you hate, do you tend to find excuses and blame everybody else or everything else for what is happening?

Is it because you don’t believe that you have anything meaningful to add, Maybe Amanda? Well, this, too is destroying your confidence, as you may feel like people will be bored with what you have to say, or that they’ll think that you’re, not smart Yeah or they’ll make fun of me Amanda.This is a story that you’ve told yourself, and you’ve started to believe that it’s. True, It may be that the topic of conversation is not something that you’re particularly interested in or know a lot about, but it should not be allowed to cost you your confidence.Okay, number, eight! You dismiss compliments Guilty as charged right.?Cartoon Mm hmm Amanda Yeah me too.We often receive compliments by deflecting or shying away from accepting them, because we’re embarrassed or we don’t believe the comment By deflecting.We’re not only selling ourselves short but challenging the judgment of the person complimenting us Cartoon Uh.Oh Amanda, Accepting compliments.Graciously doesn’t make you an egomaniac.We can accept, compliments graciously and take them on board when developing our confidence And number nine ruminating.Ever find yourself repeatedly going over what you didn’t, get right or situations you didn’t like An example of this may be that you continuously think about something.You said during a presentation of your work. Colleagues Rumination is taking thinking to another dimension altogether.Even though thinking is considered necessary for problem-solving, ruminating is focused on the problem and not on finding the solution.In her article for Forbes, Jamie Kaluga wrote that When you ruminate on your poor decisions or setbacks, consistently, even the most confident people can struggle at times and it’s perfectly normal.You are unique individuals with different skills, So use them to your advantage, Using positive affirmations every day, where possible can help to remind you of your strengths and what you want to develop.Do any of these describe your experience, Or did any of these points describe you If you have any comments or feedback regarding this video?
