Just be yourself! Look at yourself in the mirror esp straight to your eyes and tell yourself that you are the the best!

Just go with the natural flow of conversation. If you're talking about getting all tangled up when talking to a potential love interest, practice with people around you first.
Just be yourself.
Today I was babysitting my friend's 3 kids at her apartment. We were all hanging out on the pool. Other people started arriving, all of them strangers to me. I'm a person who likes people so I was talking to an older lady who was watching her grandson splash around.
A guy came out there with his kids who made friends with my friends kids. You could tell the guy sort of wanted to talk but was kind of shy. So I asked him about his kids. It got the conversation going and he joined us in the pool too where it became a community conversation and the kids all having fun chasing each other.

im super unconfident in talking to people, girls especially. Im getting better though cuz i dont predetermine peoples negative responses. i predetermine a positive response, which in turn keeps me positive.
(hope that makes sense.lol)
