In many ways, confident people can talk without thinking as much because they have confidence. Insecure people don’t have this luxury because they are constantly worried about what others think. Confident people don’t waste their time worried about the opinions of others. We have spent a lot of time thinking about the things confident people say as if they were to give advice to the less confident. Some of the tips below are what they would say, but they are also things confident people do naturally. Confident people are masters at giving advice to others; so, here are the things confident people will recommend to insecure people to do in order to become more confident.

One of the things confident people say is important to remain confident is “don’t seek attention.” Confident people don’t seek attention because they know that attention will not boost their ego if they already feel good about themselves. Confident people draw their self worth from things other than attention, such as personal achievements, hobbies, friendships, and more. Insecure people can learn from the habits of their confident friends by not seeking attention and spending more time alone.

“Don’t pass judgement,” is another one of the things confident people say is a great way to remain confident. Confident people aren’t judgmental people because judgement stems out of insecurity. Confident people are masters at only making comparisons to their previous selves to feel good and improve as opposed to judging others. Confident people don’t waste time sizing people up and judging them because they've learned that will most likely not help or improve them in any way. Insecure people can learn how to be confident from this habit.

Confident people will tell insecure people not to draw their self worth from others because this will only lead to further insecurity. Self worth needs to come from within if you want to live a confident, fulfilled, and truly happy life. Comparing yourself to other people will immediately lower your self worth, because you will always find some way to feel inferior to others. No one is ever the same. The best thing to do to increase confidence is to set goals to be the best version of yourself.

“Don’t make excuses,” is one of the things confident people say as a reminder to themselves and to others who are wanting to be more confident. Confident people don’t make excuses because making excuses is a habit of avoidance and insecurity. Confident people get out of their comfort zone by avoiding excuses, confronting problems head on, and not being afraid of the hard things in life.

Another one of the things confident people say is, “don’t make comparisons.” As you can see, a lot of these things can be related to one another. Making comparisons to others probably means you’re not appreciating your self worth. Confident people avoid making comparisons because comparing yourself to others is a waste of time. You will never be like anyone else. What’s the point of comparing yourself to others when you can’t be like them? It’s much better to compare yourself against your past achievements or disappointments and work towards a better version of yourself. This will make you more confident.

Confident people don’t waste time in life because confident people aren’t distracted easily. They are focused on what they want, and they aren’t insecure about setting specific time constraints on their priorities. Confident people do not quickly shift focus the way insecure people might.

Being a confident person does not mean having it all figured out. In fact, one of the things confident people say is that you should never feel insecure about asking others for help. Some of the most confident people are those that can admit when they don’t know everything, or when they are having moments where they lack confidence. In turn, these moments where they admit their weakness makes them more confident in the long run.

Confident people will tell you that the best way to become more confident is to never second guess yourself. The second you begin to doubt yourself, you are showing your insecurity and losing confidence. Half of being confident is faking it until you make it. Eventually, if you continue to convey confidence, that confidence will become real. So, don’t second guess yourself. Be confident in all your decisions as you conquer life one day at a time.

Another one of the things confident people say is, “don’t stay in your comfort zone.” Staying in your comfort zone is safe, but it is not a place for confident people. This is a place for insecurities to grow and feed off themselves. If you want to gain confidence and become your best self, you must leave your comfort zone behind for good, no matter how terrifying it seems. Confident people avoid comfort zones, and they don’t show anyone their fear.

Lastly, one very important thing that confident people live by is that they don’t tear others down. Tearing others down immediately shows a lack of confidence, because people who tear others down only feel the need to do so because they don’t like themselves. Poor character is a mirror for how we feel about ourselves. People who treat others well feel good about themselves internally. If you are a confident person, you’ll treat others with respect and build them up.

All these things are things confident people do, and they are things confident people say as advice to other, less confident people. Follow these tips if you want to be a more confident, loving, carefree individual. You will be happier and more fulfilled, and others will respect you more as well.
