You could try to emulate Worf :)\n\nReally, though, true laughter is healthy and socially acceptable/attractive generally!  If you laugh nervously, you could try working on your confidence.  If you laugh inappropriately, you might try thinking about something else... or overanalyzing the situation, the intents of the speakers, or something distracting like that!\n\nJust a thought -  Good luck!

just read, think, think think, then right down whatever comes to your brain. After a while, it's the action that's the hardest part not the idea.

Slow down and don't say the first thing that pops into your head.  Think before you speak and think before you act.  Learn about and talk about serious matters.

taking a deep breath and trying to imagine yourself in a peadeful place.......I struggle very much with impatience, and even though I still get very impatient, I have become quite good at hiding it, it just takes practice and work.\nGood luck!

Simply believe in yourself. You could do anything just as good or better than any other person, if you really wanted to.\n\nTake TV commercials for example, you've seen some pretty stupid ones before, right? And you probably thought, "I could do a better job than that!"\nAnd more than likely, you could!!\nAnd so it is, with most everything.

One of the best things I did to improve my assertiveness was to learn to look people in the eyes when we spoke.  It improves confidence and communication levels.  As far as asserting your feelings, be patient, listen alot and respond APPROPRIATELY.\nYou live and learn.

The best program to use for this purpose is your own mind!\n\nAll it takes is a little discipline and commitment!\n\nHave fun but be safe!

Think about what assertive and confident look and sound like, then look and sound like that.\n\nSome details that come to mind...\nstand or sit tall\nmake eye contact\nspeak a little slower than usual\nspeak a little lower (no high squeaky voice) than usual\n\n\nBest of all, know your stuff inside out. That way you should actually be confident.

Try to think before you do anything. Another words, try to think before leaping. But don't feel too bad we all go through stages like that.

Get the "I don't give a fuck attitude", and just know that you're better than everyone else... and believe in yourself. I hated speeches, but this has helped me... haha... It's ok if it's a bit conceited.

preoccupy your mind a little will make you not become so edgy and nervous around others. place two marbles in your pants pocket and roll them around. sound stupid doesn't it but you may be surprised at how they will help.

Dear Harshad. To control your mind practice Yoga, breathing exercise. Generally control your thoughts and concentrate on the work you are doing.

To achieve your goals, you need to take action. That action is to stop your goals being things floating around in your head, and make them more concrete.\n\nWhat you need to do is get them deep into your mind, so that they fill your thoughts and you are constantly conscious of them - that way you will strive towards them with more assertion rather than leaving them at the back of your mind.\n\nOne common technique is to close your eyes, and visualise your target / goal and what it looks like once you have what you want.\n\nThen you will be able to live it and achieve it in a more tangible fashion. You might have heard quotes to the tune of something like 'successful people have already been where they want to go' - which echoes true with this sentiment.

You should psych yourself by relaxing, giving yourself a "confidence boosting talk", you know, you can do this, you KNOW this, etc. and just walk into it with assurance. Good luck!

Please provide more information.  \n\nIn General,  Be yourself and use your brain more then your emotions.

Stop behaving like a f.a.g.!\n\nDont act on your gay impulses. Im violent, but I dont act it out cause I dont want to suffer the conciquences of such actions. Sure easier said then done, but you apprently have a rocky path to travel, life is seldom fair so make the best of what you got or go through life unhappy!
