As I have discussed in a previous post there are a number of short term, easy fix confidence solutions which cause far more harm than good in the long run.
Number 1 in that list is the demon drink which, as it allow inhibitions to go, allows even the most shy individual become the life and soul of the party. Until the next morning.
Alcohol is also highly addictive and therefore many unfortunate souls, myself included, end up become addicted creating more harm and hassle in their life than before.
Another solution I thought I had stumbled upon which actually causes more harm than good is hanging around with very confident people. The theory is simple, - "If I spend time in the company of someone very confident their "magic" will rub off on me and I will become more confident as well."
I think you can tell there is a "but" coming here. I have found there are two types of confident people. The type we should be aiming for are the first type. They are confident in certain areas as they have worked hard to become accomplished at them, but they also recognise their own failings and are the first to admit when they are wrong or don't know something."
The second type are those with sociopathic tendencies, for example our dear friend Donald Trump, they blame everything on everyone else and can do no wrong in their own eyes. They will often demean and disrespect those around then so that they feel better about themselves.
Now if someone is confidence light it is clear that these sociopaths will make their situation even worse.
Therefore, we have to be careful about the company we keep.
