Hard exercise, running intervalls, strength training, and just getting good at something (any skill) helped a lot.

Reading books (autobiographies by other confident, successful people) helped a lot too. It gets you thinking in similar ways. Self help / pop psychology books have also helped a great deal

Quit porn and BJJ has helped me a lot - even if I get rejected a lot - it’s getting to be kinda whatever

Meditation. Helped me to get rid of most of my negative selftalk which always killed my confidence. Since meditating daily i just feel good enough the way I am which basically is confidence.

cephe1d · 2022-04-05T21:32:53+00:00

Sertraline :)

Cologne. At least I smell good

PURPOSE

Confidence: 100

Dear_Ad8181 · 2022-04-05T20:40:43+00:00

Positive affirmations, not caring about others opinions of me,and taking care of myself. Exercise should be on that list….I will start that tomorrow 😬

hotchocalatesauce · 2022-04-05T21:52:05+00:00

As a martial artist I concurr that it does help. Once you dealt with pain in martial arts getting punched in the face, getting into a submission, getting injured (because it does happen) etc. You almost don't care about rejection.

Load on creatine mono for a week or two and lift heavy like 2 weeks your testosterone will be through the roof, girls will notice that as well as your new built body. Your confidence will be through the roof as well. Just make sure you stay hydrated

If you want instant confidence boost, consider better posture. Stand tall, straight and feel you’ll muscles become strained, but that’s good. Back in caveman days we always had to stand tall to seem bigger and dominant. In todays world we all slouch because threats aren’t always nearby, thus giving men with good posture a huge confidence/dominant boost advantage.

Long term confidence boost would be practicing either mindfulness or Buddhism. Understanding how your mind thinks/makes decisions. Becoming more sympathetic and kind toward others. Not becoming angry, instead realize you are the reason for your shit behaviour etc.

Also getting better at your career/passion. Just feels good to be competent and worthy.

Think of what makes your not confident. Is it your body? Too skinny, fat? Are you socially anxious? Do you think you’re a loser? Work on the things that bother you

Bin2Good · 2022-04-05T22:07:15+00:00

Go with the basics: a nice haircut and suit

no_not_this · 2022-04-05T22:12:00+00:00

A new lay always does it for me.

Calamity__Bane · 2022-04-05T22:24:19+00:00

Cold approaching, sales, martial arts, surprisingly not lifting tho

Mriconicdev · 2022-04-05T22:40:07+00:00

Boxing, getting in shape, fixing my style and getting my money way up!

zertsetzung · 2022-04-05T23:53:35+00:00

"I heard that martial arts is a game changer...for some its also lifting\general exercise"

Yes it helps but you dont want to get hung up on just that and not work on other things.

"my question is what have you done that boosted your confidence a lot?"

My personal experience has been that if you can just fake it until you make it, you'll get even farther than if you used something like drugs, alcohol, working out, or martial arts to get you there.

Here's why? What happens if you get fat? What happens if you have to quit, the drugs or alcohol because its getting out of control? What happens if you get your ass kicked?

Yes, sure getting your ass kicked will help you come out stronger and smarter in the end (if you survive).

But I just feel that it is better to fake that shit until you literally come to believe that you are confident.

Dont attach that shit to something external. Because external shit changes constantly. Build it from within.

Dick-Booger · 2022-04-06T01:55:32+00:00

Getting really good at something, for me that was weightlifting

affinity94 · 2022-04-06T07:25:39+00:00

Not gonna lie… biggest confidence boost is knowing you don’t have to be part of a community such as this and just living your life. Not letting external factors affect is confidence. Accepting that you make mistakes and knowing that no one dwells on the things you do especially anyone of value is confidence. Everyone is self conscious. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone has imposter syndrome. Learn to strike conversation with everyone and game will come to you.

Outrageous_Garage696 · 2022-04-06T10:34:38+00:00

I am still waiting for a boost. I am not Ultra sexy, but when I see average guys hanging out with women I feel like a loser. Women of 2022 are lazy. They won't work hard to find the right guy. They just pick up the easy targets. They pick up inferior guys so that they don't leave them.

xabimomogerrardmasch · 2022-04-06T12:46:00+00:00

Gym gym and gym… that brought upon natural reaffirmation and reignited the love for myself which I lost before high school. Now I no longer care, I don’t know how it happened, don’t know how I transformed. All I know now is IM THAT DUDE.

Just finally got outta my own head

Noor_hassan4339 · 2022-04-06T14:32:17+00:00

For me it was getting my shit together, working out, studying and achieving my goals and stopped doing certain bad habits. It works wonders

Infinite_Net_5075 · 2022-04-06T15:25:09+00:00

work out, read, have friends, shower daily, shave daily, fresh weekly hair cut. Done.

yoitsappy · 2022-04-06T18:15:33+00:00

Getting fit and clear skin

SocialReject101 · 2022-04-05T20:57:16+00:00

I get confidence boost when I accomplish some goals related to my self growth - currently these are different problem solving situations at my freelance job that help me get smarter and more experienced. I hear lifting does help. I lifted for two years and didn't feel a thing unfortunately

Dodechaedron · 2022-04-05T21:21:31+00:00

Success, any sort of

spicy_simba · 2022-04-05T22:06:38+00:00

Facing my fears, anxieties, and learning to do things regardless of my mood

TooMuchJibberish · 2022-04-05T22:15:59+00:00

Anything that involves success gives you a confidence boost

metalisandman · 2022-04-05T22:39:03+00:00

Exercise and dressing up good for me

great_account · 2022-04-05T22:41:10+00:00

Get my career on track. I'm from a high achieving family and not having a good career really killed my confidence.

ikonik7 · 2022-04-05T22:47:27+00:00

weight lifting

Particular_Visual531 · 2022-04-05T23:30:29+00:00

biggest is to know you and know why people act the way they do. Understand that and you will have alot more confidence. Does this sound like a chinese fortune cookie, yes. why? because I don't want to write all the things I've written multiple times about how to build a strong confident life as a man. You can research my other comments, good luck!

JearBear_3 · 2022-04-05T23:58:06+00:00

not caring what others think and doing you. rejection is an illusion and confidence is all about your art

Look good. Look fit and invest in good clothes and accessories.

wooshoofoo · 2022-04-06T02:33:51+00:00

Having a career, especially in a competitive industry or company. It’s not the money, but the fact that you’re the elite amongst whatever industry you’re in. That is not only super attractive but it makes YOU feel good about yourself too.

The danger is to get too invested in your work identity and become someone who cannot turn off work or shut up about it. But if you can get and balance a good career you will be a tier above your old self.

FaithInStrangers94 · 2022-04-06T02:55:05+00:00

The simple realisation that you don’t actually need anyone to like you. Your self worth isn’t determined by other people unless you allow it to be.

MO_drps_knwldg · 2022-04-06T03:30:25+00:00

Muay Thai
No porn, limited masturbation
Healthy eating
Accomplishing difficult tasks at work under time constraints
Leading meetings/public speaking
And as the other commenter mentioned, Sertraline is a hell of a drug :)

cappinahab · 2022-04-06T06:34:58+00:00

Muay Thai for me.

Zealousideal6669 · 2022-04-06T07:45:47+00:00

There are so many things. Martial arts are fine for several reasons. Indicates many attraction switches in girls at the same time but there are still many. Going to the gym for sure boosts a lot and overall if you wanna achieve something and then you made it generally it is probably the best. If you do it actively or like body positivity you can tell yourself that I'm confident till you actually start to believe it, it works but such a waste of time. Also worked for me. Fake it till you make it. I consciously started to pay attention to my body language then over time it become more natural, then girls are noticed that and I noticed that the girls notice me so I got even more. So whatever you wanna be, act in that way till you eventually become that thing also works

froze_gold · 2022-04-06T13:10:40+00:00

A few things help me. Intense cardio, like bike riding, boosts me in an electric way and I feel strong and fast.

A good hair cut and beard trim.

A good pump from lifting.

Using tinder with the intent to focus on likes instead of the total matches. I don't see their faces cus I'm not paying for it, but I got triple the swipes I use to get years ago when I was fat and lazy. It tells me "hey, if I can get some swipes here then I got chances in real life"

fourwindsgold · 2022-04-06T05:29:24+00:00

Lifting. Mma. Fucking a bunch of chicks. Making money. Having badass friends. Being skilled at whatever you’re doing. Drive a fast car. And party with girls a lot. And also be really good at your job

Your lifestyle should be designed to put you in an upwards spiral of confidence.

Neo-Rio · 2022-04-06T04:46:06+00:00

Knowing that what it is that you are doing to seduce a woman - and that it is effective - is the biggest confidence boost you can have.

cronasminate · 2022-04-06T04:51:00+00:00

Biggest confidence boost would be being the best at a lot of things. Don't be a one dimensional person. Be good at a lot of things. Don't be typical. Then you'll know you really are one of a kind. Success is the biggest contributor to confidence. Best way to be a success is find the things you are good at and dominate it. Be the best at it. Don't settle for second best. Aim to be the absolute top tier at what you dedicate your effort to.

bloodyblob · 2022-04-06T05:15:21+00:00

Currently, my lack of confidence is due to my low salary. This is changing in 2 months. It’s sad that money is affecting my confidence, but unfortunately, we live in a world that demands it in order to live.

mjornir · 2022-04-06T12:40:57+00:00

doing noticeably well at something that I hadn’t been good at before. and/or, not falling into bad patterns or habits that i used to partake in. for me, seeing evidence that I’ve grown and improved is a massive confidence boost

YoChagi · 2022-04-06T14:40:15+00:00

we can say a lot of things about self confidence boost but they all said before. The main idea of self confidence or confidence boost is DO SOMETHING BY OWN. This is the main idea. Lifting weights, martial arts or other hobbies is just the side products of that.EARN YOUR MONEY. Go lifting by OWN. Go to CINEMA BY OWN.Make contact with people. No one always smile or stay positive but always you can say good morning or good evening your neighbourgh.

Other big thing about confidence boost is CREATE SOMETHING.Nowadays people are only consume things. Find a topic and create about it. Play an instrument, do electronic music, paint something, join the charity on your region. When you create you step ahead of millions of people because they are just consumer. But you are creator.

Don't compare yourself with anyone. I know this is cliche but your only competitor is you but yesterday. Always 0.000001 % better than yesterday. Don't push yourself too much. Competition is REAALLY LOW. Be better, do better.

This my approach to how I boost my confidence such a years. I build my confidence. This not happened in one day. It is a processes. Keep grindin and never look back bro.

Martial and lifting changed me completely.
