People who lack confidence often take themselves very seriously. They take
offence easily and quickly get defensive. They rise to the bait when someone
pokes fun at them (and they do make easy targets). You can easily spot such
people – they’re usually on their own!
It’s impossible to laugh and feel anxious at the same time, and the less anxious,
the more confident you feel.So lighten up.Make a determined effort to see the
funny side of life. Seek out people who have a good sense of humour, and have
one or two funny stories up your sleeve.
When you laugh and make others laugh, it does wonders for your self-esteem.
