Maybe even you notice that these people respect you a little bit more after this.

Maybe they even say, wow, I never thought of it that way.

Maybe they end up agreeing with you.

You'll notice that it's not the end of the world.

You'll also notice how it reinforces your self-esteem.

Not only will you realize that even if someone disagrees with you, and maybe it's a little bit uncomfortable, it's still not going to be that bad.

At worst, maybe a little bit uncomfortable.

And you'll also notice that by doing it, you'll reinforce your self-esteem and your confidence will build a little bit more.

And as you continue practicing with people close in your life, you'll become more and more confident in this ability and more confident in yourself and your opinions.

Because now you're not afraid of them anymore.

You see that they're not going to harm you.

You've reinforced the idea through practice that the world doesn't explode if you disagree.

Nobody abandons you when you speak your mind.

Now, I also think too that just building a general sense of confidence is helpful.

I give advice on this all the time.

I think when lacking confidence in life, usually the fix is solidifying confidence

your sense of morals and values, sticking to them, being the best person you can be.

That's it.

I could expand on it, but I've done it too many times.

That also, you know, having a general strong sense of self-esteem, I also think could be helpful too, you know, beyond just practicing making perfect.
