Self-confidence in our life is a quality that not only lays the foundation of success, but it also becomes the basis of our personality. But many times we come in contact with some people, whose association eats our confidence slowly-just like a termite. It is not easy to identify these people, because they often swallow our thinking under the guise of sweet words and fake smiles. If distance from them is not made in time, it can severely affect your mental health, career, and relationships.
Identify people who break self -confidence
Always criticized (Constant Critics):
These are the people who find your shortcomings in every situation, no matter how hard you have done. They will never praise you and even if they do, they will definitely add some taunt together. For example – “You have corrected this project, but why do you always be late?” By staying in the association of such people, you gradually stop believing in yourself.
Jealous & Competitive Minds:
These people become uncomfortable with your every achievement. They shorten your success and sometimes raise questions on your hard work. Whenever you do something good, they will say from behind – “It was lucky, so it is done.” His thinking can shock your self -confidence.
Mockers (mockers):
Those who make fun of your shortcomings or mistakes in public or in the name of friendship are actually hurting your self-esteem. It is a type of micro -agression, which makes you slowly doubt yourself.
Perpetual pessimists:
Such people find evil in every situation. If you think about a new beginning, they will first tell how many dangers there are in it. “You will do business? Hey, it is not your bus!” – The effect of such dialogues can be overwhelming your courage and confidence.
Controlling behavior:
Some people want control over everything – your thinking, your choice, even your decisions. They tell you that your thinking is wrong and you cannot succeed until you accept their advice. These people make you mentally weak and dependent.
How to avoid these people who fall into confidence?
1. Decide limitations (set boundaries):
Set a limit of interacting with such people or spending time. If someone lets you down again and again, start responding politely but strongly in front of them-“I respect your opinion, but I stand on my point.”
2. Recognize your strength (Acknowledge your strengths):
Every person has some specialty. Do not put criticism of others from heart. Remember your previous successes and make yourself realize that you are capable.
3. Stay with positive people (Surround Yourself with Supportive People):
With whom you feel good, who appreciate your goodness, the association of those people strengthens confidence. Both your energy and thinking are positive in the association of such people.
4. Self-check:
If you feel wrong in front of someone again and again, then think what is the mistake in you or that person is spreading negativity. Repeatedly convicted is also the biggest enemy of confidence.
5. Make distance in time (Detach when Necessary):
If a person is constantly creating mental stress, self-doubt or inferiority complex, then it is a clear indication that you should distance from it. Not every relationship is necessary, but self -esteem is most important.
Confidence is like the foundation of a temple – if you remain strong, no matter how high, it will stand up. But if the foundation gets termites, then it slowly starts falling. To get success in life, it is important that you recognize those who are silently weakening your self -confidence. Making away from such people is not a rudeness, but a compulsory step for self -esteem and mental peace.
