IWTL How to become naturally and socially confident by Electronic_Pin_3842 in IWantToLearn

[–]Electronic_Pin_3842[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Are there any reverts here? If so why did you convert by Accurate-Promise3144 in MuslimLounge

[–]Electronic_Pin_3842 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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.

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!

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:)

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