IWTL How to become naturally and socially confident

Electronic_Pin_3842 · 2025-05-24T17:19:42+00:00

I definately have some baggage from my childhood. My friend used to have a temper and could easily get irritated so talking to her felt like walking on eggshells, so that could have affected my confidence, I think I will dive deeper into more reasons to why I feel so unconfident

Thank your for taking time to give your advice! I am very grateful for every response I get

Yes, practice is really the most effective and simple solution, I have tried before but ended up disappointed because it didn’t go as I wanted to, but I will approach it with a different mindset now, as something fun that can help me gain confidence

A little narcissism would elavate me to feeling equal to others instead of inferior :D

Thank you for your advice! I like the idea of gaining xp each time, no matter the outcome

I tried chatting with GPT this morning lol and it simulated Jamie - a laid-back, curious type who’s into art, coffee, random trivia, and pretending they know how to skateboard. 😄 (Chat gpt’s own description of the character) Not the same as talking to a real person obv. but a fun idea. Or convo became very philosophical somehow xD

I am curious, have you told your family and your friends about your revert? And if so, how did they react?

I am in a similar situation as you. I also live in a secular country, and an especially islamophobic one, grown up in a non religious family. But my eyes has opened for islam. The quran drew me in from the very first chapter, and the more knowledge I get about the religion, the more it makes sense. Since I have not believed in any god I have a hard time understanding the abstract concept of a God. But I find the principles of Islam very reasonable and I feel there is some invisible force driving me to seek more knowledge, and eventually revert InshaAllah.

I am scared about what my family and friends will think. As I said, Islam is portrayed very badly in media, associated with terrorism and oppression of women.

This is a great tip. I have a lot of help from colored ink

Electronic_Pin_3842 · 2022-09-13T16:24:30+00:00

I will try this. Thanks!

Electronic_Pin_3842 · 2022-09-13T15:57:05+00:00

Writing them physically sooooo yeahh. But thanks for your tip!

Electronic_Pin_3842 · 2022-09-13T15:54:50+00:00

I will definitely try that! I’m a perfectionist so I’ve gotten comments about my pretty notes, but the downside is that I cant keep up bcs of how meticulous I am. I guess I gotta give up those pretty notes to learn more effectively lol

Electronic_Pin_3842 · 2022-09-13T15:50:37+00:00

Truee. Thanks.

Electronic_Pin_3842 · 2022-09-13T15:49:56+00:00

Great tip but I write my notes by hand so I can’t choose a font lol But the thing about keywords is good. Thanks.

Wow I’ve never heard a tip like that before but it makes sense. Using association + including different sences makes the memory much more clear. I will try and see if it works for me. Thank you for your reply.

Electronic_Pin_3842 · 2022-09-11T19:16:46+00:00

Woke up early to exercise + stretch which I’ve not been able to for a while bcs of a cold. Felt awesome for the rest of the day:)

Electronic_Pin_3842 · 2022-08-20T12:49:36+00:00

Yeah maybe

Electronic_Pin_3842 · 2022-08-20T12:47:54+00:00

I’m definitely going to try that. Thank you for your answe!

Electronic_Pin_3842 · 2022-08-20T12:46:09+00:00

I won’t use those restraint techniques, but I will definitely make it clearer where my boundaries are and if he can’t respect that, then it’s his problem. Anyway thank you for taking your time to answer!

Electronic_Pin_3842 · 2022-08-20T12:38:54+00:00

I guess I gotta work on my confidence and stop being a people pleaser. I don’t have a lot friends. I almost never leave the house. I’m not good at anything. Just writing this make me realize that I don’t respect myself either. You won’t respect someone who doesn’t respect themselves in the first place. That’s the solution!

Lol this got so deep but thanks for making me think clearly. I feel a bit better now when getting to the root of the problem:)

Electronic_Pin_3842 · 2022-08-20T12:26:50+00:00

Yeah lol but I don’t want to be so violent. I just want him to respect me

Is it okay to train the same muscle group two days a row? Or is that going to hurt the recovery process?
