Boost your self-confidence.

When you feel good about yourself, being around others is more enjoyable. When you're secure, you actually enjoy voicing your opinion because you know that you have something valuable to contribute to the conversation.

• You can boost your self-confidence by developing your body image, successfully pursuing your goals, and establishing a rewarding romantic relationship with a partner.
  
  
• Surround yourself with supportive family and friends. If you're constantly around people who are negative, you may be uncomfortable in almost anyone's company.
