how did you learn to be so open and confident?

LOL :p what the.. am I ? hahaha. To be honest, I used to be the shyest person on earth when I was in primary school . and do you know why? it was because I used to be bullied everyday so i had severe low self-esteem. it was terrible. until the day when i started high school, I decided to have a new life and start things new all over. I tried my best to smile more, talk to people more and to simply be friendly. When ever someone hurt me, I would confront them and tell them the truth - how i dont appreciate that they treat me less than I deserve to be treated. From then on, my confidence built up, and I guess I've learned to shut out the gossip that goes on about me, because i know that it's human for people to be talking about somebody behind their back. 

I think the most important things to remember are : choose your friends wisely. (friends are the greatest source of influence over your confidence). spending time with other shy people wont do you any good. neither is with violent/aggressive friends. if theres someone who inspires you because of their confidence, have positive thinking that you too can be as great as them. if you have a problem in your life, dont keep it to yourself because this can turn into severe depression . you have to release everything inside you that is burdening you. Dont just release your angry through vulgar language - this will only build up the angry and tension inside you. Instead, go to someone you trust, someone who isn't experiencing problems of their own, and someone who cares for you, and tell them what's wrong. These special people could be your parents, your best friends (who won't influence you more negatively) , other trust worthy relatives and also the school psychologist. - these are all the things that has made me who I am today :]
