What is it that some people have that just makes them so confident? They seem so calm in social settings, make friends easily, and handle situations perfectly. You can’t help but gravitate towards them when they tell a story and they just make you feel seen. I’m not talking about people who are aggressively cocky, a show off, or bossy. I mean those people who are effortlessly cool and seem to make everything fun no matter how bad the situation!

This post goes over 6 things confident people do naturally that can help you show up boldly:

Include everyone in the conversation
Show up with high vibes and good energy
Genuinely respect everyone
Be comfortable, relaxed, and never in a rush
Have a good sense of humor
Be grateful

When you start incorporating these 6 little things, you will start to first appear more confident and then you will feel more confident. Think of it as faking it until you make it. You have to start somewhere even if it’s uncomfortable and out of the box for you. But soon enough with practice these things will be second nature and you will feel better and be more confident. Now let’s jump into these 6 tips!

1. Include everyone in the conversation

Why do we gravitate towards confident people? Because they make us feel seen. They give us attention by saying hi, remembering our name, or introducing themselves to others right away. Metaphorically, they keep the door open. You know the opposite where you are trying to say hi to someone and you know they see you but just pretend you aren’t there because they are talking to someone “more important.” What makes someone confident and attractive is the ability to bring everyone together in a kind and gentle way.

2. Show up with high vibes and good energy

Confident people always have a funny story to share or a clever way to start off the conversation. They show up with good energy, feeling positive. Likely they have told themselves that whatever event or activity they are showing up to will be fun and good and they are excited to meet new people. That energy is palpable and they might find others coming up and introducing themselves to them for no obvious reason. But it’s all because they are open, they are smiling, they make eye contact, they engage in conversation, and they are also ok just standing there without talking to anyone.

3. Genuinely respect everyone

Confident people do not think that they are the best or too good for anything. They value themselves and others. They will strike up a conversation with anyone no matter who they are. It could be the uber driver, the janitor, the door man, but it can also be the VP of a company, or an influential person. Once again these people are open to conversation. And they also have great practice at it. If you are looking to be more confident, practice striking up conversations with strangers. Conversation is an art and takes practice, but the more you do it, the better you’ll be.

4. Be comfortable, relaxed, and never in a rush

This is the “coolness” factor. A confident person may never seem stressed out to you because you don’t see them checking their watch or their phone constantly, cutting conversations abruptly, weaving in and out of people when they walk on the street. They have a sense of peace. They know that being a few minutes late is not the end of the world, and they will also give themselves plenty of time before an important event as to not be late. If they are in the middle of a call and have to go, they are direct, honest, and offer to catch up another time soon. In other words, they have boundaries and respect for their own time as well as others.

5. Have a good sense of humor

The old saying goes, if you can’t laugh at life, it’s laughing at you. Having a good sense of humor makes people feel comfortable around you. Sharing a laugh always overrides awkwardness even if only for a minute. They are able to make fun of themselves and common situations. They never make fun of people in a mean way.

6. Be grateful

Truly confident people are grateful for what they have in their life and will be the first to vocalize their appreciation for others. They remember the kind things others have done for them, and will send thank you cards, send a nice email, or even pick up the phone to say thanks. They are like this in personal and professional settings. They really go out of their way to recognize someone for helping them. Not surprisingly this makes people like them more, and the most important reason is that they are genuine. They truly want nothing in return and are happy with making other people feel good.

Being confident is a way of life, a shift in perspective. It’s how you ultimately feel about yourself and how others perceive the way you interact in the world. Another way to think of confidence is the chatter inside your head. Are you always doubting yourself and others? or are you proud of yourself and look for the best in those around you? For many reasons our confidence can tank based on how we were raised, negative experiences, or how we think we look in the mirror.
