how to be more confident?

In your situation th only thing I can think to say is to study more and try to remember key things you read that way you have the answer and won't feel nervous...

Confident is build from our vision of something. What we think what we touch depend to conclusion we made. So don't panic before we know sure waht happen to us. For example the professor is like monster according to MIKEMONTEZ. He feels unconfortable everytime he sees the professor. So, make our vision calm, talk to him (professor) with kindness, discussion with fairness. From the start you will go on your living with happiness.

I think you are an introvert, easy to be nervous in public. When I was in high school, I always can do answer correctly in class and be laughed by classmates. But after entering the college, as there was no one know me before, I tried to act as a different person from the one in high school. After taking part in debate competition several times, I can speak in public. With one success after another, I now feel confidence about myself. In you cases, you can try to set a series of goals, then achieve one after another, you may feel confidence become more and more.

Nervousness is quite normal, but you can minimize through preparation. Come to class prepared. Read your lessons at night and be ready to be called. When you are called by your professor, he is giving you the opportunity or training to practice public speaking. Always grab every opportunity thrown your way. Speak up, say what you have in mind, whether it's right or wrong, it does not matter. It is important that you have that training so you will be able to conquer nervousness in the long run.

The best way is to come to class always prepared. That way, even if he calls you, you will be able to provide answers to his questions. I also had some terror professors in College. And with them around, I tend to give more time in studying the subjects that they teach. And guess what, I am always on top of the class with their subjects! I am also not the kind of student that would be raising her and all the time. I just wait for the professor to call me. But I make sure that I come to class always prepared.

Know your self first, then be your self and relax. If your professor calls you and you don't know the answer tell him or her you didn't know the answer, but I suggest you do study so that you could answer your professor. And if you really don't the answer and you can't sit down it's ok, do your best next time to answer the questions of your professor.

To be more confident be always positive.Try to understand your positives and negatives.We cant build confidence with in one day.It is a slow process.Our friend circle is important factor in shaping confidence.

I have to question his teaching if he makes you hate him and the way he makes you feel, that isn't healthy for anyone, surely the anxiety and the thought of him challenging you will make you forget what you have learnt? How you can you respect him if he has that affect on you. Is it just you or do all the students in your class feel the same way about him?

Don't worry, you are not alone. So, next time, like many others, they prepare themselves for the class and pay attention to the lesson.

It is normal to be nervous, it only shows that we are human and we are affected by what is happening around. I also have this nervousness which until now I am experiencing especially when I am in a uncertain situation. Well, just what our friends had said, be prepared. Remember also that this professor of yours is also human and sometimes this attitude in front of his class is just something he is doing in order to prevent others from abusing him. I remember, I hid a coin inside my sock as advice of some friends just to prevent from getting nervous. I don't remember if it do me any good though. Have a nice day!

When the professor calls you, take a deep breath and just go. Stand up in front of everyone and think comforting thoughts. Speak loudly. Not too loud, but loud. It will sound normal for the people who are listening and they will actually be able to hear you. Speak clearly, pronouncing the words out. This will also play a key role in your listeners being able to hear you. Don't be over confident just relax and be calm .

In oder to be more confident, you need practice more and never feel tortouring when you are resuired to answer in public. Once i was as nervous as you and my face turned red when peole stare at me.But i compel myself to answer in public as more as possible. You should keep in mind that mistakes make you better. You need practice more to be more confident.

Why not learn to study your subjects and be prepared before coming to your class. Self confident came from inside of us we must be prepared and know what we are doing. Reading a lot can also help and mingle with people with bright ideas where you can learn more by just listening to any topic they discussed.

I remember back in high school we also had a teacher whos really terror. What I do for me to avoid standing in class, I prepare before going to school. I read in advance so that once our teacher call me, I can answer her question. Maybe you can try to prepare too and always bear in mind that the only way to defeat your teacher is to show good performance on his subject.

you just need to motivate yourself. You need to face your fears and be positive in life.If you want to be successful then you need to step and get out of your shell.

The key here is to study hard so that when your professor call you you can answer confidently. Show him what you got. You can do it. Just study hard.

Try a little introspection: Are you nervous because you fear you will not know the answer and be embarrassed? Do you have a fear of public speaking? These or other reasons would each have an individual path to resolution. It is easy to say will gain confidence by being better prepared but this may not be the whole answer. Fear of public speaking is common but can also be rooted in deeper feeling of inferiority etc. Look inside yourself. Further, you could seek someone to talk to... many colleges and universities have as part of their campus health programs the chance to speak to psychologist or therapists - it does not mean you are crazy and should not be seen negatively.... you may feel better having someone to listen to your feelings as talking about them is the first step to solving.
