Whether you like it or not, people have already formed a judgment about you before you have even opened your mouth.

If you have your shoulders hunched, if you're hiding, if you're looking scared, nobody's going to speak to you because they don't want to scare you.

Whereas if you have your shoulders back and you're smiling and you're confident, people want to speak to you because they assume and they expect that you are a good conversationalist.

And once you begin to see proof of the effects of your confidence, it will become easier to show up that way.

If it helps create an alter ego, mine actually has a slightly British accent and I've actually kind of lost track of the fact, I don't even know if it's my accent or if it's my natural accent or if it's one that I've just made because I've been doing it for so long.

That being said, people from my city, I come from Adelaide and people in my city generally do have a more British accent, but sometimes when I'm scared, I will lean more into it because it makes me feel more confident.

And if you feel like, oh, but everyone around me already has impressions of me and I can't just be confident one day because everyone's going to be like, who is she? Why is she so confident all of a sudden? Let me just say people's impressions can change.

People have a bit of a switch in their mind that flips over once they notice that you start being confident.
