Sometimes it helps to become an “actor or actress.” That is to say, tell yourself you are NOT and idiot, weirdo, outcast,but rather are a confident, intelligent, charming person, and then act that part. Very often, by mentally telling yourself you are something other than how you perceive yourself, you can actually come to be the things you are trying to be. Please note: this is not the same as telling you to be someone you aren’t, but rather to call upon those resources that are there INSIDE you, to actually help you to be what you truly are, but have been afraid to show yourself.
