What I admire most about Trump is his supreme confidence whenever he's around people. No matter who he's with or what situation he's in, he's always confident. I want to have that kind of confidence for myself.
I also want to have good social skills so that I can express my personality and form relationships. I'm not the best at this but it's something I want to get better at.
Does anyone know of any books or teachers that can help me build confidence and social skills?
The other part of this- reading is great, but only a part of the equation- practice. Put yourself in social situations where you feel slightly uncomfortable. Meet new people. Attend events, volunteer for.public speaking opportunitiea etc. Get out there, and keep getting out there. Keep doing that (and with some technique from the reading) and you'll get to where you want to be.
This 100%, The old saying goes practice practice practice. I suffered pretty severe social anxiety but a buddy convinced me it was 99% in my own head. He forced me to start going out every weekend to bars,social events,concerts etc and while uncomfortable at the start, slowly my social anxiety faded into the background. In retrospect, I now realize the fear and anxiety was my own making. I still get pangs of it every now and then but am 100x better just by "toughing it out" and repetition. Also be yourself, god created YOU and you have nothing to apologize for. I would avoid the books and self help as they are crutches to truly developing yourself.
