How do I gain confidence and a high self esteem?
I've been telling myself over and over again stuff like
>You're awesome, man
>you're a fucking king
>you're a fucking god man
>you have no reason not to be confident, you're awesome
>it's stupid to be unconfident
>you can do anything
etc
but it's not WORKING, I still don't feel confident
time for some psychotherapy. how many people do you know you grew up with?
ps this is my forte.
I have zero thought of what anyone thinks

confidence is the ability to do what you want when it comes to people
self esteem is helpful for the antisocial
you must cultivate your ability to be productive, while never taking shit from anyone.
the first step is to let go of your past-literally escape from it, unless staying is harder.
to be confident u must cultivate a frame aka a syllogism of what you will do if someone physically hurts you

Receive the correct positive reinforcement when you socialise as a child.

Flattery doesn't work on other people, wont work on you either.
Be honest, but kind to yourself.

KEK, this is a great way to narcissism and arrogance.
First step, get the fuck off of /r9k/ and 4chan in general.

Yeah, I thought about that, but I feel like I know not to be narcissistic even if I tell myself shit like that
I think I'm self aware enough to not ever be narcissistic, I hope so at least.
>mfw all these "I's" in my post
shit

That logic is retarded.
That's like saying
>if I tell myself I will get do well and that I'm really smart I will get an A on the exam.
You've only got half of what you need. The attitude is there, but you need to put in the work. Do shit to feel better about yourself. Excercize really does make a huge difference. Change your diet. Fuck, do something to improve yourself.
