Many people believe that confidence is a part of an individual’s personality. People think that it is something one is born with, or is developed only as a part of one’s upbringing. Only a few people consider confidence as something that can be voluntarily displayed. Because of this, individuals tend to submit themselves to whatever level of confidence they think they have. If one person is shy, then he behaves shyly, thinking that there is nothing that he can do about it.
Such belief is what’s causing most people to fear presentations, interviews and any situation that involves making decisions, presenting one’s self, or confrontation. Shyness, in its worst form can lead to social anxiety and panic attacks. Because shyness and low self-esteem usually lead to making more mistakes, their level of confidence sinks further if they think that people look down on them for who they are.
While it is true that some people are ‘born’ to be more confident than others, it is not correct to say that confidence is exclusive to them. Confidence is a trait that relies on a person’s perception of himself. It is a trait that you can develop, enhance, and ‘call on’ only when it is necessary. It is possible to become confident in different areas without changing your personality. There are many famous people who admit to being shy and having low self-esteem, but when asked to discuss things that they are passionate about, they transform into confident, convincing and influential people.
