Borrowed Finery.

The girl who thinks she Is shy and
self-conscious is often the one who
lacks faith in herself. She probably
would deny this vigorously II she were
thus accused. But 1t would be very
likely to be true, just the same.
II she hasn't confidence in herself
she goes around trying to borrow con-
fidence from others, which she hopes
they will give her by their admiration
and approval. The reason that she seems
shv and self-conscious Is that she Ii
so extremely sensitive to the thoughts
and opinions OF others. When she
mingles with q group Of people she
begins immediately to worry as to how
she impresses them and what they
think OF her. So she has no time left
to put her best foot forward.
It is abnormal to be SO dependent
on the people around you and their
approval and disapproval. OF course,
It's natural to want to be liked; all Of
us crave that. But when this craving
becomes abnormal so that you think Of
nothing else, it's time to call halt
and look into the situation to discover
what the trouble Is.
And 10 to / the trouble Is this: That
you've lost faith and confidence in
DyOurSell, 1ou II cdy' oue ho" Soh
have faith and confidence in myself
unless people do like me?" And I'll
admit 1t is a sort of q vicious circle. To
believe in yourself you need to have
the approval of others: to gain the
approval of others you must believe In
Yourself. You can't stroll around in
borrowed finery all the time.
+. But you've just got to make break,
and cut your way out Of this circle to
find faith In yourself. Learn to de-
eide things for yourself. Do things
for yourself without the help Of others,
and you'll be surprised at the fine
sense of achievement you feel when
they are finally, successfully accom-
plished.
Find out what your particular tall
ents are-and you know you have some
and use those talents. AS you do
this, you'll come to believe in yourself
more and more. Read about ether
people who have lived strongly and &C.
complisned worthwhile things.
II you will say to yourself that you
are not dependent on other people and
whether or not they like you, and that
you will think for yourself and act for
yourself no matter what they say or
do, you'll grow stronger. And present.
~ you will find that your Independence
has gained you their friendship and
respect.
II you have some work Of your own
to do and do well, you won't have time
to wonder what other people think OF
you. And as you gain confidence In
yourself, you'll find that you have
gained the confidence and liking of
others; so that you won't need to try
to borrow these any longer, for you will
have earned them.
