Do you ever suffer from a lack of confidence? Why? Or do you have any advice for others in here?
I suffer severely.
Body image issues, still. Not sure if I'll ever be free of them. Thank you so much for being someone I can relate to, someone who's been through the same things as many of us. Happy Birthday tomorrow, Russ! Lots of Love!
Russell the only thing wrong with you, young man, is that you don't pronounce your Ts. :-)
Yes, a key issue with my confidence has been feeling like a 'weirdo' that others will find me odd/strange and then trying hard to figure out what the appropriate ways are. Now I practice relaxing around others and saying/doing what seems right to me, and then if others find it odd - oh well. Edit, my experience has been that certain people find me analysing wanting to get deep into things unsettling/odd, so now I've found other people that also like to do this :)
@Elon Musk bro.. Dm. Me.ill help for sure 😉
whenever i feel less confident i remember this quote by Bruce Lee, "I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine".
Takes 2 seconds to Google shit en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_prayer
Awesome quote!!!.👍👍👍💯
life artist
now why haven't I heard this before.. took me ages to get the courage to upload a video on youtube, since everybody is expecting me to be a doctor or engineer.. everyday I'm being asked to choose, when it a lose lose for me. I was afraid to show up here, cuz nobody's expecting a future doctor to upload stupid vids on yt. thank you, this made me feel a bit better about myself
Thankyou sir
Confidence isn’t “I know they’ll like me”, it’s “I’m okay if they don’t”.
I've taken this a step further. I ask myself: if these people who don't like me, did like me, what would that say about myself? I realize the people who don't like me aren't my people in the first place... if that makes sense.

@@properpsychology1276 If only promo whores lacked confidence.
Excellent observation.
Meh, saying its or the other certainly doesnt sound like confidence either.
They say: The deeper the V-neck, the higher the confidence.
So it seems 🤔😅

Do they?. Lol xx
@@nagsterthegangster3548 Lol
That's not even a V anymore.
My mum always used to say “do you really think people care? Nobody’s looking at you, they’re all worried about themselves”. People that truly see you, love you.

I think Russel is slowing becoming an Ancient Greek Philosopher
Come a long way since “my booky wook”
Haha maybe so
João Gouvinhas de Pina no he is a 21st century English philosopher. Cant go back douche
Yes, someone seems to have finally gotten him to the Greek.
@Tony Lampooza Productions Well... kinda
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Him_to_the_Greek
Confidence, at least for me, has been largely down to accepting my own "flaws". Accepting that it's okay to look stupid sometimes, to get things wrong, to have awkward and weird moments. It's all okay.
Broooo I feel the exact same way
Kind of stopping you to be yourself 100% because ur scared of how your friends are going to react in that moment
yes, same for me, or not focusing so much on my flaws. observing myself without judgement and anger and just try to modify why I believe could be detrimental to my personality.
not to be afraid to look stupid/wrong. I think that comes with age and maturity. when we are young we think we are so important and must impress everyone. `But as you get older, you realise, people don't really give a shit about you as much as you imagined. `If you die, they will be like - "oh, so sad" and after few minutes - "what is on netflix today"? unless that your very closest people, they will mourne little longer. Ok, our parents are exceptions.
Dude yes - well said
I often refer to Stoic thoughts when I'm feeling insecure. Primarily understanding that I can't control what other people think of me and that most of my anxiety is coming from my own imagination. Gaslighting myself so to speak.
well said!
Anxiety is driven by trying to live in the future, depression is rooted in trying to live in the past. Neither anxiety nor depression can be in the Now. Do not allow the external world to steer your internal world - be totally present not reactionary. Observing others reations/actions and not responding is incredibly powerful.
@@namehere4954 i totally agree with this. Mindfulness is important
“Gaslighting myself” Brilliantly said! I think we all tend to do this.
Doubt your doubts
This guy is one of the most authentic people out there, he truly wears his heart on his sleeve, you get what you see with him.

"If you want to feel confident, stop judging yourself but do work on yourself."
-Russell Brand
If you're implying that it sounds like a contradiction then yes, I thought it might come across like that. It's not a contradiction, though. Therapists like Albert Ellis and Paul Hauck talked about separating your traits / abilities etc from how you feel about your 'self' (the short version is they considered the 'self' far too complicated to accurately rate). So, thinking you're not very good at soccer is evaluating a trait/ability: feeling bad about yourself because you feel shit at soccer is judging yourself. Feeling superior about yourself for thinking you're great at sports is judging yourself. Taking steps to be a sportier person while accepting yourself as a worthwhile human (neither superior or inferior to others) no matter how good you actually get at sports, is refraining from judging yourself while simultaneously working on yourself. Simple.
Confident people seem to be those who embrace (and accept) themselves :)
Here's what he won't tell you. It's jealousy that makes you compare your suboptimal situation to others. And this is like judging others. If you feel that you feel unconfident because others can do things better then you'll notice that you start acting jealous sometimes. But it's also others that treat you in a way that makes you remain in your state because you create hostility and destroy sympathy and people don't have the time to think about your situation. Jesus wouldn't approve but in our society you are free to judge others when they can't stay "positive"(in our social competitive perception) for whatever reason.
Jesus would judge them if they know what they do and that requires some damn skill to recognize that I guess.
I also think you can be not confident because you compare yourself to your own standards and don't reach them. So I wouldn't instantly think someone compares himself to others in an evil way(is jealous) when he's negative in a social situation where he doesn't succeed. If everybody would do it this would create some Kind of perverted illusional hell for someone who is just angry because he fails. But usually you should recognize what he really is angry at. Hm
Yeah don't take what I say too serious, I just like to write in the morning :D
There's a good program called Unbreakable Confidence (look for the site that has the big video on the homepage).. Those books are awesome!
It's one thing to work on yourself.. but there are fit, successful people who STILL don't have the right mental state.
The key is to revamp your mindset. There are fat people who are more confident than fit people, and there are poor people who are more confident than rich people.
@@billfreeman7770 Well, what did you learn from them, Freeman? Give me a cherry off your learning tree... What kinds of new experiences have you had, with your studies of Unbreakable Confidence? Sounds very interesting..
1. Don't compare yourself to others
2. Find something you're passionate about and get good at it
3. Investigate your problems
@DarthYuYevon It is but you can make sure you take time out to assess yourself as yourself aside from any comparison. You can catch yourself comparing and remind yourself that it's an illusion and not a true measurement of your value. There are lots of ways you can use the information that your lack of self confidence is often due to comparison to increase your self confidence.

@@SebastianLass Men have hair, get over it. No need to get rid of it
@@antattackBAM Same for women. Have fun.
This is literally what I’m doing now and I’ve never been more comfortable with who I am
Eating healthy, exercising, and no alcohol. Those were the three things that gave me confidence, I surprised myself with how confident I became
I’ve been doing those things for 6 years - I still hate myself
@@katanagrrl then you either haven’t been doing it well enough, or you need to seek counselling. Love to ya man ✌️
I do the opposite and I'm very confident.
@@AKelly-wd4lj Can you break down the reasons for no alcohol please? How exactly it benefited you and what the problem was you felt when you were drinking?
@@Exalted- alcohol gave me confidence whilst drinking it (of course), but the after effects of alcohol I felt sapped my confidence, not just the “hangover”, but further on from that. I think making those physical changes (like removing alcohol from my life) helped me to make mental changes, and therefore gave me more confidence. It felt like a chain reaction, treat your body with more respect (diet, exercise, no alcohol) and the mental side follows with it. This is just what I experienced, it might not be the case for everyone x
When you said a lack of self confidence is like paralysis.. I felt that. “Oh the things I would do if only I looked like this or had that…” It’s hindered my human experience and I hate that. I don’t need to see myself as flawless.. I just want to accept them enough that they can’t hold me back anymore.

You gotta be confident for saying that.

If you're reading this Russell, just know that i love ya! 😜
1. Don’t compare
2. Commit in one passion
3. Look at your weaknesses and work on improving them
my question - can we just ignore our weakness and just enjoy improving what we are already good at? weaknesses will be always there anyway, why struggle
Yeah it's surely more about accepting weakness than about improving them.
But not resisting your weaknesses and accepting they’re just beliefs designed by your ego to protect you in some weird perverted way is a beginning to working on them. We’ve practiced listening and acting on these beliefs for years we become experts at fulfilling them impulsively. We are not our thoughts
@@scottishguy6352 yes, if you think - what if someones' weakness is to rob banks and murder people, they should definitely start with them lol , so yes, i think it all depends on circumstances.
O S I think when it doesn't bother you anymore, it is no longer your weakness. It becomes weakness because you feel something wrong with it (whatever it is)
I feel like my lack of confidence comes from comparing to what I hope to grow into and judging myself for not being that already! I’m too hard on myself!
I read that you shouldnt compare yourself to who you want to be tomorrow but instead compare yourself to who you were yesterday. That way you can measure your progression on the journey to becoming that person you want to be in the future
humans are always over-optimistic in their expectations of themselves. So it's ok you want to be someone you realistically can never be
You definitely are, Armani :)
I do the same thing!
@@finnredmond3192 This is pure gold 👌
I lived my whole life feeling like everyone was better than me and feeling worthless. I depended on achievements and praise to feel confident I became a perfectionist, had high standards and so obsessively competitive.
Then I started working and wasn’t getting that praise and things quickly escalated. I was depressed. I hated work and everyone in it. Things were awful.
My biggest help was understanding myself and the way I think and realizing I was not different and everyone thought like me and I was not a weirdo.
And then I realized confidence should come from within!! Not from outside praises and acceptance!
Things changed ever since. Even at work I started to shine and I even stopped hating it and everyone in it. My life is so much better now.
What does that mean confidence comes from within
@@tsav1613 believing in yourself. Self acceptance and trusting your own capabilities instead of relying on people’s praises and rewards to feel enough and capable.
When it comes from your own heart, you feel valuable and able to handle things without anyone’s words.
When relying on rewards, without getting these rewards, you feel absolutely worthless and doubt your own work.
Thanks for sharing. My confidence was tied to my self worth, and I put that in others. My since of self worth has improved improving my confidence as well. I embrace who I am rather than run from it. It takes work to see what I was running from through insecure attachment and social conditioning.

I wish every girl in between 12 and 25 years old realizes this thing you said "confidence should come from within, Not from outside praises and acceptance"
And hopefully they also turn off their phones and maybe delete their toxic tiktok and instagram accounts
Funny as it sounds, the thing that has given me the most confidence is saying others around me are good people, even only in my mind. That includes you, reading this, a good person.
@velveteyes79 Well, sure not everyone is good, but nobody is totally bad all the time, so it's reasonable to say everyone is good sometime and at least has the capacity for goodness. Even evil people have done many good things, managed their responsibilites and so on. (Unrelated: if people would have the chance to be identified as good people, even if they aren't, they could go on to manifest it. Just as fears tend to manifest, so can positive expectations) It relates to confidence because there is a mirror relationship with humanity, people reflect you to yourself and vice versa. If you extend unconditional approval to someone, 1. they sense your good will and enter a comfortable and accepting posture. 2. you get a boost out of lifting someone up 3. you give yourself power because you have assumed the position of judge but without the baggage of making condemnation 4. by acknowledging the inherent/potential goodness in another person, you acknowledge it by proxy within yourself (you create a positivity feedback loop) 5. by placing positive expectations on others you again gain power as you are actively channeling positive energy through becoming a conduit 6. likewise there is a fear-cancelling element due to your production of positive energy allowing you to act with enhanced lucidity.
These are some theories, I don't know exactly why this exercise gave me a confidence boost, but it did. Just give it a try. You don't have to tell someone 'you are a good person' (though you can), you can just think to yourself, 'that's a good person' and see how it alters your lens to reality
velveteyes79 false sense of feeling safe and comfortable around a positive perception of those in your immediate environment. A method of self comfort and reframing the world to feel better about it so you in there feel more comfortable to be yourself. If we don’t trust those around us, subconsciously it makes us react more hostile and less calm and open
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!! YES! The world is literally a reflection of the thoughts we believe! BANG ON!
@velveteyes79 I've recently been studying A Course in Miracles and it's all about the false illusions of the ego. Fascinating (and tough going at times..)
@velveteyes79 😂
Hey Russell, I am 20 and I really think your videos have high values especially in times like these. thank you
Exactly!
Most definitely
Snap! I’m 20 also, life’s really starting to kick in don’t you think?
I'm 36 and I think Russell has a lot of stuff figured out, you could definitely pick a worse person to learn about life from. I think he's seen more of it than most.
Me too!
He's such a sweet man. His struggles with drug abuse and mental health I believe have helped him become such a nice guy.

Nailed it. If your focus is external you can't help but compare yourself to others. Look inside. Learn about your own genius. Learn what others see in you that you may be taking for granted. That's where your confidence is hiding.
I've been bullied all my life and suffer anxiety and depression. It's hard to get through the day. Thank you for this. God bless.
Those bullies are just insecure and trying to bring you down to their level of misery. Don't let them!!
Hello World Darkness recognizes light and tries to attack it to take away their light. The fact that you were targeted is in itself the evidence that you are superior to them! ✊🔥 Work on self love.💛 Decide to love yourself unconditionally as you would an external little one that you love and cherish. 🥰. Your inner child needs the adult you to love them and be their personal guardian and protector. Love that little one back to full strength and confidence will be natural!! All you truly need is YOU and JESUS and if you shall be lucky enough to have someone as beautiful as you in your life who loves you then you are blessed! Love to you my friend. You are worthy💛🙏✊🔥
Hello World learn self defence then you’ll feel confident as you’ll be able to stand up for yourself
Hello World / You are trapped in the memory of your past. And need help to heal ..Look for people on line that are encouraging. Also, try encouraging yourself & being kind with yourself 💝

damn that's deep
Hear hear!
I suffered (pass tense) big time. I had parents who used to beat me and put me down at every opportunity while under their roof. An evil little voice continued the work for them after they passed nearly 30 years ago, the main one being how 'useless' I was as my relationships, friendships and dreams broke down for reasons beyond my limited perception. After many years of restlessly searching/researching WHY? Two answers I deducted was: 1. Stop listening to those dead voices; and 2. increase my perception through reading reading reading, Fiction first solely to increase my vocabulary without overloading my brain with too much technical information before eventually moving fairly recently on to non-fiction for technical data as my ability at retention increased. Now I've become a gibbering idiot. Much better than the shrinking violet that was constantly taken advantage off or kowtowing to manipulation or hiding in plain sight.
Well done you 👏🏻
Keep going
Is "becoming a gibbering idiot" a good thing?
I am the same way. I've been through a lot of emotional abuse which really destroyed my self-esteem and confidence. Thankfully I have pushed through that and really focused on building my self-confidence on my own since nobody else is going to have my back.
@@CalebHimself I discovered I too needed to do self examination on my own, after, however, reading literally dozens of self help books, and 400 free hours of sessions with two Clinical Psychologists (I had a lot of layers to uncover, and it was tax payer funded). Then I came across Philosophers like Neatzsche, Locke, Camus, etc and YT channels like; Philosophies For Life, Einzelganger, WuWei Wisdoms, Eternalised, Brains Explained and many more. My original quest has exceded expectations thanks to the availability of educational learnings provided by YT'bers. I heard and read of the inner child; I was always skeptical of the concept, after all there is only one me. I've since become a believer. I found my original self, my original dreams, desires, hopes and curiousity. I found the me that was me before life and the ribald influences of grown ups dictated terms. I went back to toddler, infant, baby and even the womb to discover me. I am discovering that with self actualization the satisfaction appears greater. Good work for you to push through. You and those close to you will benefit a great deal. Keep up the good work.
I once read: what is one thought about yourself that if you hadn’t had, it would’ve made your life easier?… And I think most of us have one or two consistent judgments nagging in our heads constantly. If only my belly looked like X or I had Y… And life escapes us while we try to achieve this goal that we have auto imposed and that makes us ignore life’s important things. I agree with you, we need to work on ourselves but not to the point of obsessing over the results

"That which you most need will be found where you least want to look." - Carl Jung
Does it mean i am gey?
This is utterly meaningless. Thanks though Internet guru.
*yawn*.
Hmm. That's really interesting
@@emmashalliker6862 It isn't meaningless, you just lack imagination. The point is obvious: people don't like to confront important issues honestly because it makes them uncomfortable. It's easier to misdiagnose your problems or blame them on something else to absolve yourself of the responsibility to fix them.
And often times, where people least want to look is inside themselves
I love seeing his transition into guru. His beard, clothes, words all slowly becoming wiser :D
I agree, he is so much calmer now, then in 2014.. I’m like at the 2014 Russel Brand Rage Stage, can’t wait to unlock stage Guru
I love this because we see how charismatic Russell usually is and him being authentic and telling us even he is insecure at times feels so relatable and he feels more human and reassuring because we can achieve that confidence too if we believe in ourselves.

"True confidences is when someone accepts and embraces who they are."
That is the standard quote I've seen a ton of times on office posters or inspirational memes.
You should really listen to Russell's advice during the whole video. It is not just accepting who you are, but rather stop comparing yourself to absurd standards while improving yourself in areas you feel a need but with reasonable expectations. To simply accept yourself however you are without putting work toward self-improvement will lead to only more anxiety and less self-confidence.

13!! 🥳
I thought u were 13 years old for a sec
Congrats on your sobriety mate
I have always been shy and had very low confidence but I worked very hard throughout the years to the point where I feel confident and I wouldn't call myself shy anymore. Yet people still often say things like 'aww your shy' 'aren't you too shy to do that?' And 'the quiet one'. They say it to my face as if they are telling me what they think is my weakness. It still hurts me every time!
For the longest I can remember I’ve always hated myself even thinking back to when I was about 5 years old but not for the the way I act or the way I look, I don’t compare myself to others and I understand that I(we are) am not In control of everything that happens except our own situation. That being said I work out, listen to music, do things that make me feel good yet I still feel this way. I don’t like to think negatively but I feel like this feeling will never go away, it went away for a year back in jr year of high school but for the past 3 years it’s been back to this way. I’m not over weight and I’m not that bad looking but I absolutely hate myself and can’t seem to figure out why. Even after all the therapy, seeing a psychologist, going to impatient programs. I still see everything in the worst light when it comes to my self yet I can be so bright in other situations regarding others. You don’t have to read this or even like this comment but I hope who ever feels my pain overcomes this hardship and learns that no one is perfect and we all have purpose. Thank you for listening and stay safe💯
Not saying you have one, but maybe look into one of the personality disorders. I have borderline. It includes a whole lot of self doubt and self hate. The treatment is dialectical behavior therapy. Maybe there's something in that that can help you. I'm working on letting it help me. Take good care 🤍
I hope you can somehow find the self-love within you to make you feel confident. I hated myself for years too, everything about me. But then I started focusing on what goals I wanted to accomplish and seeing what I wanted to improve about myself. I started to really rocus on that progress which in turn helped my mental state and made me love myself for the changes I was making. It's not perfect and everu now and then I'll get down on myself, but there has been improvement which is what is important. You recognize that you don't look bad and have things going for you in life which is good. Hopefully one day we can both find a solution to this problem.
This is me too every single word..its a struggle
Finally someone doing something dope with their platform. Keep helping others shine brother🔥
He's not doing anything dope, he's doing something useful. His message works because he uses words that actually mean something.
Hes not doing dope anymore

Good one!
“Stop judging yourself, but do work on yourself” wow that hit different
This video is timeless and well thought out. Helped me see through some difficult times of self analysis. The danger is overconfidence. Success brings that and what we see as faliure the opposite. The creative overactive mind often suffers this and that is me. Balance is what i am striving for. Good luck to all and be happy with self.
I have found that a lot of people who didn't manage well success and were overconfident by it was because they rose too quickly to it and, yes, a lot of those people had privilege. A lot of men are taught that sky is the limit for them. Even if they live through some bad stuff, they still believe they can vs. other people who are never told that culturally nor see themselves in positions of power.
So, even if they had worked for where they were, it wasn't nearly a 1/100th or 1/1000th as some unlucky people in our societies with its current systemic discriminations.

@@frankwaites8708 hey frank, just a quick question, as you've made a few negative comments. What are your motives for attacking a video/individual that is trying to help people improve their lives?
Genuinely curious, if you've got nothing positive to say, especially on something related to self help, keep your thoughts to yourself please mate, as the vast majority of people watching videos like these are struggling and don't need your bullshit criticism, it seems as if you're projecting and might actually get something out of videos like these.

Russel I've noticed years ago that you have a much deeper mind than what I first thought when I first seen you on TV. I can't put into words really the way you can, how much I appreciate your existence in this world. You have a way of putting thoughts into speech that is just inspiring. Its a gentle and humble, open minded nature you have that is truly unique. I am now a true fan. I just discovered this channel now but you know ill be watching, listening thinking and understanding. We all want to better ourselves and your words help me to personally understand what's going on without forcing an idea on me. I take things with a pinch of salt these days but I do consider other peoples thoughts. Massive respect to you for taking this road in life. You are helping people.

*_Confront the weak parts of yourself and work to banish them with experiences. Your willingness to confront your demons will cause a change within yourself_*
terrible advice weirdo
@Foo Me But where's the lie?
@Foo Me Yeah dude, continue telling people that everything is fine and there is no need to confront challenges and work to improve on reality. That will help.
Self-blame CAN be toxic, it's not that the word itself is toxic, there is a huge difference. Self-blame can give a person ownership over one's own problems, the main difference really is the productive outcome that comes out of it.
It's more complicated than either of you are really making out tbh, that's why life can be hard.
Its good advice. It's like the book "the subtle art of how not to give a fuck". Its a refreshing change. The core message is the same. Care about what matters like facing your fears and overcoming them. Then you will like yourself more and feel more comfortable.
The whole don't say things like "can't" thing is not for self confidence imho. It is for outward success, like in work. It is vital not to have any negative self talk and regret pangs. But facing inner demons sounds like a great plan, it's just worded differently to something like "improve areas where you have room to grow". It gets to the point a bit quicker too.
@Foo Me I didn't see Life Progress' comment as negative at all,

Thank you, Russell. I'm an overweight man (have been for most of my life) that's trying to lose weight for health reasons. Often times I feel discouraged, depressed, angry, or even disappointed in myself for not being able to make myself work out. I've always been so harshly judgemental of myself and I don't know how to stop it. Your words hit home with me and it was honestly something I really needed to hear. So, thank you. I know it's almost a year later but thank you, sincerely.
Alex
Maybe stop eating crap so you won't be depressed you idiot
Don't listen to the horrible people. Be kid to yourself!
@@soposh5673 both weight gain and depression have been proven to have genetic factors which make them much more difficult to overcome for some people. Then there's situational factors to contend with. Don't be so judgemental and take a moment to consider before posting. It doesn't seem like you got much from this video...
@@zauberholz8357 Yes just tell people it's genetic so they can't overcome it
@@soposh5673 no, but if someone is beating themselves over not being able to lose weight on a certain diet plan, there are legitimate reasons for that. It takes times to figure out what works - it’s not simply a matter of “eat less food” for everyone. Making a mean comment on the internet isn’t going to make them a healthier person. If you had some constructive advice, sure.
You’re wise beyond your years, thank you for using your platform the way you do,

@@anirose6807 not really upset but your comment of endearment is usually used on people in their teenage years. Maybe I'm just not used to it being used on a man in his forties with facial hair. I haven nothing against him. My point is saying he's wise beyond his years is more hyperbolic than I'm used to for this particular context :)
How lovely is to see RB develop through years :)
Russell... I have been watching quite a few of your TH-cam vids and like what you have to say... you speak the truth not in answers but in critical thinking. This video on self confidence is good and shows us the sensitivity you have which is admirable. Now I would say if we want to get to the bottom of this issue we need to go way back to how our society is structured beginning with school, tv, advertising... a lot of it points out how "not good enough" and how we need to strive to become better. I say bullshit to this approach because it supports neurosis.. It is really apparent now a days because of social media and people opening about their struggles but it has always been around. Gossip also plays a part in this which aims to shame people. I so appreciate what you are doing by exposing how we have been manipulated all through our lives...
Very interesting...
Confidence is the most important key that can only be developed through practice.
The tone of voice you have in this video is extremely comforting. I think that really lends to your message. Confidence in some ways is comfort. Comfort with yourselves and those around you
Well said
The authentic and valuable advice this guy gives is invaluable.
The only thing worth watching on youtube really.
What a great message from someone I always thought felt differently. How could anyone give this a thumbs down?

Not seeking external approval and validation, but only seek this from yourself. 💛 if you notice you start judging yourself or comparing yourself to others, just tell yourself "I am okay". 😊
Cerise Dahlia humans are designed to be in packs. Modern society exposes us to infinite ‘packs’ (social groups).. it’s natural to want to fit into the pack, but being overloaded with fitting in with ever changing social groups we tend to lose sight of what’s actually important, being ourselves
@Nunnha B self compassion, radical self acceptance.
I've read recently that when we judge others or ourselves we create a world of judgement (internally) in which we feel scared of being judged! I believe the antidote is to accept everything as it is right now in this moment and to detach from any judgement you make about anyone or anything.
So true! I love this. Martha Woodworth, The Psychic Is In.
@Nunnha B Yes, you have to work on self-validation and self-approval as it is not familiar to us. Videos on "I am enough" by Marisa Peer helped me a lot.

The thing that has helped me most regarding confidence in social situations is to remember that the people around me aren't my enemies, they don't want to see me fail. Once you get rid of that out of your head, the fear of failure really drops away because the outcome of failure is no longer the mountain if ridicule that you envisage.

@@PerthScienceClinic Mental Health isn't "crap"
@@properpsychology1276 No, but the crap that you peddle is.
Amazing how I have seen my current self in your words. I was quite confident about two years ago. It was before I decided to pursue improvement in all aspects of my life, because my life was literally going into deep shit. This decision had an unbelievable postive impact on my life, but everything has a price I guess. Because I was in this mode of pursuing my goals, I started to compare myself to those, who have already achieved it. It made me insecure and unconfident, whenever I am in a social group, which involves this subject. I think your words are the cure to this insecurity. I should be confident by comparing myself to who I was yesterday, not to other people fantasies and expectationw.
Wise words Russell! I appreciate your guidance.

3 words I tell myself to maintain my confidence: "Don't judge yourself."
Use positive language the subconcious doesn't understand negation
Brilliant! 😁
The thought of "don't judge yourself" is still coming from judging yourself
I think that it works on you maybe bcs you have a normal lvl of confidence but you just feel insecure sometimes when you start judging yourself and get self conscious but you get pass it by saying that
My mind will just do what I tell it not to do so I will just tell myself in advance negative thoughts that might arise
this video helped me out so much today. truely happy you make these mate, great choice of words
Russell, thanks for being so authentic and for sharing the wisdom you have. I think your words ring true for me and so many others because it's so clear that you are speaking from a place of true transparency and that you are honestly willing to consider that your opinions are just that and that you aren't trying to push an agenda. I know I'm just so tired of words, just useless words that people have no shortage of these days. I'm sick of the noise of chaos and fear and anger that has become the new normal, at least in my country. Your words are lovely words that are being put out there in an effort to make things better. It's awesome that so many people are listening. It feels as if you are making a difference for the good. You are giving people hope that maybe it can be fixed, maybe there is a way to bring some sort of order and calm into this swirling, chaotic mess. So thank you. Truly. You are making this world a better place.

Happy birthday Russell !!! 44!!!
Woo woop it just keeps getting better baby
lol @Klay 35319...and I can always hear him singing "when I'm 64". That was my June birthday this year (64th) and his singing that song just keeps going round and round in my head now all month long! lol :) We are forever youthful if we stay "young at heart" and in spirit-- our spirit never dies- thank God.
I think confidence does come from accepting who you are. I'm 47 years old and I've only just accepted who I am, it doesn't mean I go round acting like I'm dogs bollox, it just means I no longer have a desire to be something I'm not as I've realized I'm never going to be that person and in reality, I don't actually want to be that person anymore. I would say it's more a kind of feeling of peace than confidence.
For me confidence was no longer caring what people thought of me. It’s ok not to be liked by someone. The issue is not having the confidence to be ourselves around others. Once we stop caring about how others think of us we relax in social situations, we are then able to embrace our true selves

spot on, fella. sometimes overly negative talk feels like my oldest friend.
A small paragraph taken from Desiderata:
“If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself”
In my belief social media has been the main cause of an individuals lack of self confidence as they are constantly comparing themselves to others. Your life is exactly that.............YOUR LIFE..............
Social media makes money from our fears and insecurities. Their product sells.
Social media is a very present evil in our lives that will cause a unstoppable cascade and collapse if it isn't banned ASAP. Absolutely disgusting what these platforms are doing to our kids mental health. I'd say 'ticking' time bomb but I think it's already gone off.

I've found out for me that also being grateful for what I am and the things that happen in my life helps to improve my confidence. What also works is staying in the present and focusing on the root causes that make me doubt myself and ultimately trying to compassionately change my thought narrative that make me think or say negative things about myself.

I used to always apologize for just existing. I'm so quiet, so it's hard to make friends. At some point I decided that I had to be outgoing to have friends and kept beating myself up for being quiet, which made it even harder to talk to others, and I began to fear people. However, now when I interact with people I internally tell myself that I am not sorry. And I'm ready to defend myself. Although pushing myself to be outgoing has not helped my confidence, it has helped me to understand people better. I realize that a lot of people really are kind and may accept me if I just be my quiet self.
sending warm love and hugs Brother. YOu are such a blessing to all who listen to you.
