When i was a Kid, i remember that i was extremely shy when i am interacting with other people, maybe my mom who raised us at that time is at the adjustment mode because my father had just died from an accident few years ago, that's why she didn't take time to motivate me to mingle around, i have no bad feelings about my mother, instead i love her so much more now... i was a very understanding child then... my mom had a high expectations from me on academic and socializing aspect, and i think i disappointed my mother for not being a "smart" and "sociable" child just like her when she was just a student in their province wherein she got the valedictorian award in their elementary class and i am proud of her achievements but what the heck, i cannot push myself to be as smart like her and worst, my timid personality continued until my high school days,

I am Thankful that my Mom is just like that, maybe she has a perfectionist attitude but still she is the Loving and Kind-hearted Person I've ever known, As i Discover myself everyday, I realized that aside from having friends and advices from other people, Reading Self-help books helped a lot and mostly Only YOU can help yourself if you want to improve your personality, when i started studying in college and had my part time jobs, that's when i gradually learned about interacting with different kinds of people, i learned to be independent, I learned the ups and downs of life, and i think that factors had made me strong and Finally Build my Confidence, I am Happy that the Modern Parents are more responsible now to have their children enrolled in different social and summer activities that will improve their socialization and academic skills, Things are just so Different now and the New Generations are so Lucky to embrace this wonderful changes.
So if there's a Thing that i would like to emphasize here is that you should Believe in Yourself, Don't Hold Back! Be Confident and Take time to Explore yourself to discover your Strenghts and weaknesses, in these way you will be Strong enough to Face the Challenges of Life ;)
Have a Great Day Ahead!
I am also the same when I was younger but I guess, my life experiences taught me how to be courageous and how to express my thoughts. I don't say I'm so confident since I'm still working on that one.
ReplyDeletethis really speaks right into my soul, i grew up very shy and was always looking for ways to 'fix myself'. It was only until recently that started to speak up for myself slowly by slowly and i have to admit i was missing out on life before. thanks for the post
ReplyDeleteThis is a very encouraging post and I hope that it inspires a lot of people. Believing in oneself means loving yourself. That entails doing things that will constantly make you a better person. Nice post, Len.
ReplyDeleteYour greatest strength and motivator is yourself so you have to believe in yourself.
ReplyDeletethis is a good self-confidence builder:) I like this line :Take time to Explore yourself to discover your Strenghts and weaknesses
ReplyDeleteMy mom didn't motivate me too. We are not even allowed to play with richer neigbors. I resort with self help book too and I wish they have done their job of guiding me and prepairing me in the world ahead of me.
ReplyDeleteI am also very shy when I was younger and my mom's kind of the same. Thanks for sharing such an inspiring post.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an inspiring post! I never had issues being a shy kid but of course, this is a good reminder to myself because sometimes I doubt if the decisions I am making in life are good for me.
