Thanks, Anna. My dad was awesome at "getting out of your head" by focusing on the other person. He always made the conversation about YOU. He never answered a question, he just pivoted it back with a question of his own, and people LOVED him. He passed away last month, and looking back at all his interactions, letters, etc. I realize now what a confident, self-assured man he was. No bravado or boasting - just confidence. And he did it in the simplest way - by caring about what other people had to say. Thanks for reminding me that confidence can be quiet and simple. Great videos.

I always try to do the same, but it ends up leaving people taking advantage of my kindness in one way or another. Lately, I started to be a little more assertive, but if you don't mind, I'd love some tips from someone that sounds like an expert at this thing called _confidence_ Thinking about this comment, I'm not doing that great at the "not talking about yourself" thing; let's try to implement that more and more into real life!

I'm sure Anna knows this, but making sustained eye contact with a cat is a sign of aggression in cat language. When they blink or look away it's an act of submission. But if you blink (slowly) or look away instead it makes them more comfortable and then even cats you don't know will be more likely to come over and sit on your lap. I love cats. Similarly with insecure humans. Don't make them uncomfortable unless you intend to. Like Anna says the body language of confidence overlaps with the body language of authority and dominance - so don't do it habitually! Be sensitive to the situation and to the other person. Or cat.

Another fun fact: Your pupils dilate when you look at someone you're interested in. So when you're playing your staring contest game (yeah, I do it too), you can tell a lot more about the person you're looking at and perhaps some insight into their feelings towards you.

It was such a strange thing to lose my confidence I've always felt beautiful and special and all of the sudden I didn't feel good enough and how hard I tried to look good it wasn't enough. But I'm going to try my best to gain it back . Fake till you make it all the way lol . Lots of love ♥♥♥
