How do i overcome social anxiety and fear?
Social anxiety is overwhelming my life and despite trying everything, it still makes me feel isolated at school and affects my studies. I try to push myself out of my comfort zone.I try to push myself, but often end up feeling ignored everytime and everyday, which only deepens my loneliness and my insecurities, especially as the only girl in my class. I find it hard to talk to people, I don’t know why...I also struggle to connect with people I’ve never spoken to, and now, as a school representative, the pressure has only increased, with people telling me I’m not suited for the role as an introvert and i even started feel like I'm not suited for the role because of my social anxiety and i have no confidence. my parents blaming me for choosing this school..but,my school life has been difficult from the start due to social anxiety

How to improve my speaking confidence?
I’m a first generation student in this country. As I’ve started college this year, I’ve been noticing just how eloquent everyone sounds when they speak. From other students to interviewers. I’ve been getting really insecure about the way I speak, someone also recently told me that I speak in a “ very simple manner”. I just feel like I have nothing to say in most settings because I don’t think my responses will be as eloquent or fancy. What can I do to help improve my speech so I can feel like I can really contribute to a conversation? Thank you! #student #college #publicspeaking #speech #presentation #confidence #career #business

How do I grow my self confidence in order to talk to new people?
College is all about starting a new chapter in your life. You may go off to a different state or even internationally in order to get your education. Inevitably, this means leaving behind old friends in high school. As a shy person I was wondering how one may go about building up some self confidence in order to get to a point when starting conversations with strangers doesn't feel as horrifying. And as a result, making new friends. #confidence #conversion-optimization #self-esteem #self-development #communications
How can I get my future students to feel confident in front of the classroom?
As an Education Major, I've notice throughout my many field experiences I've notice many students are shy in the classroom because they've either developed a fear of embarrassment, failure or being bullied by peers. It's also know that this time in their life is common to feel these emotions because of the idea of being accepted by. As an future educator, I want my students to feel confident when presenting and or asking a question in the classroom, even if their information maybe wrong. But, how? #educational-leadership #love-for-job #confidence
How do I prepare for interview for an Intership?
I am a junior in college have been applying to summer internships and recently heard back from one that I am very interested in. They want to schedule an interview. I have never had an internship and while I am not under qualified, I'm sure there will be applicants with more experience. That being said, I am confident that I have what it takes to contribute meaningfully as an intern, but I think a convincing interview would really help. The interview may be over skype or in person, not sure if that changes anything. I also don't have a lot of businessy clothes so I will have to go shopping for those and honestly don't where to start as far as what to wear to an interview for an internship with a senator. Any thoughts? I know generally what sort of questions to expect, but I'd like to hear from people who have experienced it. Any questions I should give more thought to? are there nay standard questions? How different is it from a job interview? (I know it depends on the job but generally speaking) Are there any things that I should not mention? #college #career #internships #career-path #interviews #interviewing-skills #summer-internship #confidence
