Expert Answer

Really celebrate your uniqueness and avoid comparing yourself to others. The more you can believe in yourself, love yourself, and know your worth, the more you will radiate those feelings outwards. Instead of seeing insecurity, fear, and doubt, people will see someone who is authentic and vulnerable. People respond to that more than you know.

Expert Answer

When you take care of yourself, your internal wisdom will come through to help you take the next step forward. Love your body and surround yourself with people that you can be yourself around. If anyone makes you feel bad about yourself, I would really question the relationship or tell them how you feel. Watch TV shows, read books, and participate in groups and clubs that make you feel better about yourself. Try to focus on the positive and being grateful for what you have, even when difficulties in life come up.

Expert Answer

You can use a technique that's called "slow talk." To do this, you'll slow down your speech by 1/3 of your normal rate of speech. This helps you stay calm. You'll also appear to be more thoughtful and sure of your words.

How do I become a people person if mom doesn't want me to stay outdoors?

Community Answer

You can go to local indoor places where people hang out: the mall, school clubs and programs, or invite some people to karaoke at your place!
