Have you ever wondered what it is that makes strong and silent types so irresistible to everyone, despite being very … taciturn? How do they always have the last word without ever posing or behaving like bullies?
Steps
Step 1. Trust yourself
This doesn't mean you have to be a cheeky one. Having "trust" means "being absolutely certain or sure" of something. Therefore, try to be sure of yourself: believe in your potential.
Step 2. Don't try to prove anything to yourself
This is a consequence of having confidence in your abilities. If you have faith in your potential and are able to understand that the stupid opinions that others may have about you do not matter, you will not have. need to prove anything to anyone, because you know for yourself what you are capable of doing. You know you are strong and steadfast in what you believe, so what others think is completely irrelevant.
Step 3. Show respect for others
You have to respect others to be respected by them in turn. This doesn't mean you have to let them get your feet on your head or go crazy and cheer everyone up. But it also doesn't mean that you have to give up your beliefs: you have to respect the opinions of others even when they don't coincide with yours. If you are convinced of something and someone else tries to convince you otherwise, the important thing is to know that you are right and calmly answer that he has the right to think as he wants, but that you will certainly not change your mind because of it. Believe in your ideas.
Step 4. Let everyone know what you think, respectfully, but don't keep your ideas to yourself
Let the people around you know your beliefs, the way you behave and how you are able to control yourself. Being quiet means you don't have to make too much noise to show off, because you have enough confidence in yourself that you don't feel the need.
