The “AHA” Moment
While living in Taiwan for 3 years, Lianne was too afraid to try and make conversation in Mandarin for the entire first two years, which she was very new at. One day she realized that she has awkward encounters daily, but people weren’t laughing at her Mandarin all day and judging her, they were going on with their lives and would forget about her ten minutes later. It really didn’t matter and she didn’t have to feel so embarrassed and self conscious.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence

The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
Pursue your interests because improving at them will make you feel good. Put yourself out of your comfort zone. Travel alone because you will be forced to interact with people and figure everything out yourself. Do the things on your bucket list because it’s rewarding. Meet people because it leads to opportunities.
