CONFIDENCE IS COOL By Oscar Bruce

REMEMBER THE TIME you could not think of anything to say to repparttar 107932 person sitting across from you in that little café or across repparttar 107933 conference table? You stammered when they looked your way. They smiled at you, but still, there was no way you could reach out ...and you lost yet another chance to make a good contact.

REMEMBER THAT PARTY, when you were standing off to one side by yourself, and repparttar 107934 other people were stealing brief glances at you? Still, you couldn't think of repparttar 107935 right things to say.

REMEMBER LEAVING THAT MEETING? Just ahead of you was repparttar 107936 person you really wanted to meet and get to know. You could not quite summon up repparttar 107937 courage to approach. They walked away into repparttar 107938 night and out of your life.

BY FAR THE MOST TERRIFYING BARRIER to developing relationships with strangers is learning to talk to them at repparttar 107939 first meeting. Making first contact is sometimes fearful. Even thinking of approaching a new person makes you break out in a cold sweat.

YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE? How did things get like this, you wonder? It is because family and peer groups ripped from you at an early age repparttar 107940 innocent social adeptness of repparttar 107941 young. The bullying and being "cut down to size" that passes for socialization scarred your psyche. The fearful result is that you are not just shy, but gun shy. But, all that can change. It can be accomplished.

CAN THIS REALLY ALL BE CHANGED, YOU ASK? The answer is - absolutely yes. The need to grow is instinctive in repparttar 107942 human spirit. Additionally, self-improvement is proven to be not only confidence building, but therapeutic. In fact, failure to do so creates distress and several forms of neuroses.
