9.Self-confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views of themselves and their situations.Self-confident people trust their own abilities,have a general sense of control in their lives,and believe that,within reason,they will be able to do what they wish,plan,and expect.Having self-confidence does not mean that individuals will be able to do everything.Self-confident people have expectations that are realistic.Even when some of their expectations are not met,they continue to be positive and to accept themselves.People who are not self-confident depend too much on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves.They tend to avoid taking risks because they fear failure.They generally do not expect to be successful.They often put themselves down and tend to ignore compliments(赞美)paid to them.By contrast,self-confident people are willing to risk the disapproval of others because they generally trust their own abilities.They tend to accept themselves; they don't feel they have to conform (从众) in order to be accepted.
Many factors affect the development of self-confidence.Parents'attitudes are crucial(关键性的) to children's feelings about themselves,particularly in children's early years.When parents provide acceptance,children receive a solid foundation for good feelings about themselves.If one or both parents are much too critical or demanding,or if they are overprotective and discourage children's moves toward independence,children may come to believe they are unqualified or inadequate.
Surprisingly,lack of self-confidence is not necessarily related to lack of ability.Instead it is often the result of focusing too much on the unrealistic expectations or standards of others,especially parents and society.Friends'influences can be as powerful or more powerful than those of parents and society in shaping feelings of one's self.Students in their college years reexamine values and develop their own identities and thus are particularly sensitive to the influence of friends.
