Lack of self-confidence is a quality that prevents you from living a full life and achieving success in life.
Constant doubts about one's own abilities deprive a person of the opportunity to act boldly.
If you are not confident in yourself, others can see it.
People are not inclined to help indecisive individuals and befriend them.
Therefore, self-doubt must be overcome. And it must start with refusing to use certain phrases.
"Excuse me, may I…"
Use the word "sorry" only when you really want to ask for forgiveness.
But if you just want to address a person or ask permission to do something, then this remark will be superfluous.
By using the word "sorry" inappropriately, you turn yourself into a person who constantly makes excuses for no reason.
"Can you tell me..."
Want to make a request of someone? Don't use the particle "not"!
There is no need to say: “can you tell me…”, “can you help me…”, etc.
It is better to say: "please tell me", "please help". In this case, the interlocutor will not feel your indecision and is unlikely to refuse you.
"Maybe…"
Don't use this word too often. It gives the impression to your interlocutors that you don't understand a particular issue.
"I won't succeed"
Don't set yourself up for failure in advance.
If your mood is still pessimistic, then at least don’t show it to others.
"It's too late for me"
Remember this simple phrase: "Age is no obstacle." This principle works in most life situations.
