Shy One Dear Shy One, An improvement in your self confidence would mean streng thening both your overall self confidence and your job-related self-confidence. Here are some suggestions for strengthening your self-confidence: 1. Like yourself. Learn to appre ciate yourself from the inside to the outside. Your feelings and be havior are important. You can change any characteristics about ^jpurself that your choose. Make UJyurself likeable. •£• 2. When you learn to like your l^self, criticism, from others will hurt less often. 3. Seek people who respect, ac cept and appreciate you. Avoid those people who may criticize and demean you. 4. Learn whatever skills are re f. Spired to perform your job well. | '5. Learn how to take construc £ tiye criticism. | 6. Try to be open-minded by lis tening to others. We cannot see ourselves as others see us. Believe in you. Carole, My family and my friends know that I'm a pushover. I jut can’t say no to them. Usually I will do anything they ask of me. Now —yeu might ask what's the prob Tern? • The problem is that I'm sick of being used. How can I tell that to family and friends without hurt ing themr' ■* ;* „ „ . A Pushover Dear Pushover, You won't be a pushover much longer. If "being used" now both Ss you, you are ready to change. le power of saying "no" can re 3sce or eliminate how often you feel used. Remember that you are •Sne person. If two or more per •Jpns make requests of you, you out-numbered. It is impossible -fac.x>ne person to take care of eve ryone else's needs. Be less availa _ ble by saying, "I cannot help you ■-eight now, but I will help you in an hour, or tomorrow," etc. Do whatever must be done. Also do what you can reasonably do. If you attempt to do more than you can manage, resentment may de velop. Saying no sometimes has another advantage. When you say no, others soon learn to stand on -their own. —■» There is no guarantee that you -will be loved more by doing every thing that everyone wants you to do. Editor's Nota: Carole B.
