    I never realised that up until a few years ago I walked around looking at the floor and hardly ever looked up because I hated the idea of people looking at me - I thought I would be invisible to people if I stared at the ground. Now that I am older I look around while I walk, put on badass music, and I appreciate nature - focus on the beauty of your surroundings, not other people!

      Shannon Green +clothesencounters totally!! I used to be so worried about other people that one day I realized I didn't enjoy anything else, now I focus on my surroundings and I like to see how everything changes a little bit everyday, just try to get out of my mind and enjoy the present

    Another thing that helps to build confidence is to compliment other people, and lifting each other up. Not only does it give a boost of confidence to that person but also makes you feel good about yourself for doing so. And I so agree on what you said about not talking smack. One time, two girls asked me if I could talk crap about someone. I stayed silent, asking myself why in the world was I hanging out with such negative people. Surround yourself with people who are positive and open minded!!! Also I think it is important that whenever you look at yourself in the mirror, focus on the things you actually like about yourself or something you're the least insecure about instead of focusing on your "flaws."

  • @mneedham05
    @mneedham05 7 років тому +243

    totally agree with the eye contact thing. I trained myself not to look people in the face in probably.... middle school? it helped me a lot walking through the halls at school because I had crazy walking anxiety (if that's a thing lol)

    • @FallinxStarz
      @FallinxStarz 7 років тому +6

      Do you really never make eye contact? Of course it depends on the situation but I find that such a weird thing.. If you pass by someone (who is not approaching you in a negative way) you can at least acknowledge they're there by looking at them or saying hi? Maybe it's a difference in culture but I find that a bit rude..

    • @mneedham05
      @mneedham05 7 років тому +16

      Tessa vo I'm from the US so eye contact is so important, but of course I acknowledge people sometimes. I work at a school and of course I smile and nod at my coworkers. But in crowded places I usually don't make eye contact because it makes me nervous. I guess I'm rude, but it's something that allows me to go out and do stuff, rather than making excuses because I'm scared of getting that anxiety.

    • @FallinxStarz
      @FallinxStarz 7 років тому +2

      That does make more sense to me now though, thanks for the explanation!

  • @MusicalBunny1
    @MusicalBunny1 7 років тому +207

    This goes off of what Jenn said but I think what has helped me immensely is realizing that everyone is concerned with themselves-- barely anyone actually cares about what you're doing, or how you look. And for the few that do, that's their problem. What they think shouldn't affect you!

    • @imjennim
      @imjennim  7 років тому +55

      SOOOOO TRUE!

    Thank you Jenn.
    I think it's important also to make 'mini' challenges like talking to a stranger, doing something you've never done before.
    Humans can be very cruel, offensive, and that for free.
    Yesterday I took the bus to go take care of my pony. On the way back, teenagers began to say that the horse odor was "unbearable" while they even live in the countryside. They strated caughing, laughing nervously, saying they will eat horse meat. I was really uncomfortable, even ignoring them. They abused of the fact that I was the only 'stranger', all alone, and they were in a group. Next time I will sympathize with the driver of the bus. It's the only person they can't "control" and in that kind of cases it is important to make allied friends.
    So my advise is: ignore negative people, and go talk to the other people:
    1. Do not isolate yourself
    2. to share you're not alone and
    3. don't be affraid to talk to people and eventually make some new friends.
    And don't forget to be positive, always.
    This will help to gain more confidence in difficult moments.
    It took me the hole night to figure out what to do next time lol.
    I was so relieved and happy, I was realy good about myself, when suddenly it happened to me. It can happen to everybody.

  • @vortexofweird
    @vortexofweird 7 років тому +156

    Wow this video is amazing, Jenn. It is definitely and standout that I will definitely re-watch.
    Ok, personal story time: When I was in middle school, a couple of friends and I were mugged while walking from school to the subway. It was very scary and the guy made an example out of me by slashing my face with his knife. I'm telling this story because this incident left a huge scar on face. Although I later learned how to use makeup to make it less obvious, it would always show and it is always the first thing people notice about me. Needless to say, my confidence took a hit.
    I know that most of the subscribers here will have insecurities relating to their appearance as opposed to anything else. In high school, I took a philosophy class where I learned about Shcopenhauer's "Will to live." I won't really go into it but the general idea is that matter, or our physical selves is not what the world is made of. It is 'will' that is the key to life.
    This always stuck with me because it meant that for humans/people, our hopes, desires, needs, and goals are what make up who we are and encourage us to keep living. This was all just a long-winded way of saying that it's what's on the inside that really counts, lol.
    I'm sorry this was so long but I guess I felt inspired to write this.
    P.S. My favorite songs to listen to when I'm down are "September" and "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind & Fire

    • @imjennim
      @imjennim  7 років тому +60

      Wow, thank you for sharing that. I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you especially at such a young age. It's so inspiring to hear how you learned that the key to life is "will." I agree! Thank you for teaching me something new. Also I LOVE SEPTEMBER By Earth, Wind & Fire. Such a tune especially for a Virgo like me. (:

      Nah it was called Metaphysics, Ethics, and Death. It was a private high school so they could teach whatever they wanted.

  • @Salomin21
    @Salomin21 7 років тому +96

    I got so emotional watching this video, I don't know why but probably cause I can relate so much to it. Every tips that you said are exactly what I've been trying to apply to my life and they just sort of lived in my head cause I thought it's my own way of coping with things but they actually work on other people too. Just finished college and basically in that place where I don't know where life would take me but you delivered such strong messages and that truly inspire me. Not a lot of people can make inspiring and motivating videos with straightforward messages cause sometimes they're overshadowed by useless talks that's just circling around the topic but you've done it brilliantly. I hope you can continue doing this because you truly are a remarkable person and you may not realise it but many of your videos have helped many people, including myself.

    @sheilajoy6735 7 років тому +25

    we're definitely on the same psychological level, Jenn! I used to be so paranoid of people looking at when as well, and avoiding eye contact and faking it until you make it is literally the best advice I took and would give about being more confident.

  • @Thevietvegan
    @Thevietvegan 7 років тому +34

    I love this, Jen! You're so right, being confident really does start with being comfortable and happy with yourself :) It doesn't happen overnight and it's helped me to realize that we're all insecure about some things, but accepting that we are who we are and accepting others for their quirks and uniqueness makes life a lot more positive

    • @maureene7138
      @maureene7138 7 років тому +4

      Túktā Stay on the right lane for highways if you aren't comfortable. Once you get used to it, you can go to the middle lane. (I still tend to stick to the right lane unless i have to take an exit that is on the left.) Also, as my mom always tells me, don't drive for other. Drive only for yourself. Don't be pressured to go a certain mile just because of other drivers. They can always pass you.

    Everytime nowdays when I have difficulties about something I think:
    "God gave me this challenge. He wants to see if I can make it or not. Everyone has their own challenges, but if you can make it or not that's more important."
    "If you really want to succeed sometimes you have to fail first."
    "Don't be jealous about someone. They have fought their way. If not, that's their gift and you have your own. Everyone has their gift. Embrace yours."

      @BrokenWishesx3 7 років тому +10

      This was me too! I felt disconnected from Him for actually a year or so, but I never forgot how happy I had been, and I used that as a drive to help me get back to Him. I can happily say that I've been on the right track for a few months now, and I just hope that I can get back to where I was before, surpass that, and continue to grow in Him! Don't lose sight and you will come back to Him. x

    Sometimes making mistakes that feel right , make you into a bigger person. I graduated a semester late , and failed planty classes in high school. In other people's eyes , I was failing and making mistakes that would mess up my life. But taking the time I needed to graduate and taking life at my own pace made me stronger today. I hadn't failed classes because I was doing " bad things " , I was going through personal issues and wasn't ready to tackle everything on my plate. Now, I'm ready to tackle my future with much more confidence , strength, and make good choices. Just because others don't believe in your choices , doesn't mean you shouldn't.

I've started playing the sports I used to play and I'm no longer used as I was; playing with more experience players gave such a heavy pressure on me to do well but it made me lost my confidence. Thanks for letting me know again that I'm doing things I want to do because I want to enjoy and it's fun. Love you lots xxx

    Hey Jenn,
    This is the first time I comment one of your videos, although I've been following your channel almost since the beginning. I just wanted to tell you that one of your quotes rules my life and is the one that gave me confidence over the year, and it is: "To gain confidence, you need to try risky things, get out of your confort zone. It will be uncomfortable at first, but you will unconsciously earn confidence. That's truly the only solution."
    To this day, I apply it and I tell my friends about it, because without it I don't know if I would have had enough mental energy to survive. So thank you Jenn 💕

    Thank you for talking about these really important things.I always feel inferiority because of my body stature and my wearing style,my classmates are all looks goegeous,they sometimes judge about me to my face,even they are just joking but i still feel uncomfortable. I want to be myself! Your video always encourage me to do what I want to do,thanks a lot!

    its funny because since last year I've been struggling with this "be myself" thing more and its gotten a whole lot better. I gave myself my much desired bangs and just this weekend cut about 4 inches off my hair and I've been buying more of the kind of wardrobe that i want which is very retro and hipsterish influenced, so definitely all the things that Jenn talks about I've already been applying to my life for the past year and they work and have made me feel more at home with myself.

But I've also struggled with self-confidence issues more than ever at the same time. Negative thoughts would always bring myself down and no matter how hard I try, they always come back. But recently, more positive thoughts have been coming and your video definitely helped me to find ways to keep them there and fight off the negativity. Love you, Jenn! :)

    @melissaysitall7703 7 років тому +5

    Loved what you said about not judging others! I used to gossip and think bad thought of others in high school just to bring myself up but knew it felt wrong. It wasn't until college when I figured through Jesus that that shouldn't be life. Now I'm confident in who I am through Christ and God. I might not have it altogether but it really doesn't matter what other's personal opinion of me is only God's. Having that mindset I make sure to respect others for sure but I'm not fixated on this phenomena of what do others think of me :). I'm not sure if you believe in God or not but that's the only true freedom and confidence I could have truly established in my life and would encourage anyone to do so :)

  • @AnimeCountDown
    @AnimeCountDown 7 років тому

    I started going by the mantra that made college and life a lot easier: Take your work seriously. Take your passions seriously. Take your life seriously. But the second you start taking yourself seriously, you become a joke.
    It just really got me out of my head and helped me to focus on my actions and my goals instead of worrying so much about myself and temporary negative feelings. I realized that by constantly getting worked up by my insecurities and anxiety, I was being selfish and making situations about me when my teammates and I needed to be focusing on something else.
    It just really stuck with me. And while my anxiety isn't gone and I still get panic attacks occasionally, I've really learned how to just accept and live with them instead of letting it control how I feel.
