Speak up in group settings

Whether it’s during team meetings at work or social gatherings, if you find yourself rarely speaking up or voicing your opinions, it might be a sign of low self-confidence.

You might fear that your ideas aren’t good enough or worry about how others might react. This could cause you to stay silent, even when you have valuable input to share.

But remember, your voice matters. Your thoughts and ideas are just as valid and deserving of being heard as anyone else’s.

Start small. Share an idea in a meeting or voice your opinion in a friendly discussion. The more you practice, the more natural it will feel, and the more confident you’ll become.
