Be Confident: Gain Self-Trust With The Help of Others
Did you ever watch people you considered confident? They know what to do in almost every situation. Even when they don’t, they know how to find answers.
They don’t let problems get in their way. They know how to talk to people.
Their confidence is their power.

It’s likely these confident people trust themselves. It’s impossible to have confidence when you don’t trust yourself.
The confidence comes from an internal trust. It makes sense when you think about it.
If you don’t know too many people who are confident, try to learn about successful people. One great way to do this is to check out TED Talks.
(If you’re not familiar with these, TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design.)
It’s an organization that exists to spread ideas, usually in video form. You can find many of these talks through a TED Talks search on YouTube.com.
Short and sweet
Many of these videos are short but with high impact. It’s unlikely you’ll find speakers that don’t have confidence.
You can observe the speakers in the video and see how they speak.
Also, observe their body language. Do they smile a lot? How do they engage with the audience?
Another source of inspiration is Amazon books. Read biographies of successful people.
Finding confidence stories among biographies can be tough at times. That’s because the stories may not center on confidence.
But, it usually resonates through the story.
If nothing else, you’ll pick up on some inspiration from other areas in addition to confidence.
Find a mentor
You’ll know when someone is right for you because you’ll both form a good 
relationship from the start. Mentors are people who trust themselves and have confidence.
relationship from the start. Mentors are people who trust themselves and have confidence. Otherwise, it’s unlikely you would pick those people to be your mentor.
You can establish a formal mentor relationship. Or you can just keep in contact with someone you respect.
You’ll absorb some positive attributes just by being in this relationship.
But, it doesn’t hurt to observe how your mentor interacts with others and how they solve problems. When you observe or reach out to confident people, it will help you become more confident.
You can see what you are doing wrong and make changes. When you become confident, lack of trust in yourself will be a thing of the past.
