How do one gain confident when one is always being negative about everything?

Confidence is most of the times not something we are born with. Our parents can pretty much mess that for us or help us to be a very self confident human being. We can aquire that with time, by having a better self dialogue and knowing that we cannot think of ourselves by the way others look at us but constantly work on shielding that.

The people who always criticize people are the ones who have so many insecurities in themselves. They always see the bad side of the other person to boost their confidence. They criticize to prove to themselves that they are better than the other. These kind of people have a very, very poor self-esteem - they lack self-confidence. They gain confidence by pointing somebody's flaws. Such a poor personality. When you meet such kind of people, just don't mind them. If they criticize you, face criticism in a very constructive way. Don't be like them.

Hey thanks for putting up this discussion. Well it is pretty obvious that when u start doing a good thing then people are always there to criticize and pull your legs back. But instead of worrying about those people and what they speak, u should move forward and continue doing that good thing. People would always say anything they want but your job is always to do good job and shut their mouth with your good results. So this is the way one can gain confidence and stop thinking negative about everything happening around. What say?
