I have always tried to be a very confident person who can be on his own and does not need any approval to satisfy his ego. Frankly I haven't actually been able to do that great in this matter. And since what you do not have is what you admire most, i have always held such people in very high esteem. And it is to them that this post is dedicated.
All of us have found ourselves describing our college days or experience with friends to new made friends or colleagues. The songs you used to listen to, the booze, the smoke, the food, the girls etc etc. Next time you are doing it or listening to pay close attention. For in that conversation may be lying a peek into your/other's personality. Research(my own observation ) has found two kinds of people.
I had a friend in college, who was the best guitar player i ever heard.
or Subba, is the best guitar player i have come across.
The difference in the two lines tells a lot about you personality. I think people who openly take the name their friends, relatives, enemies in conversations are more sure and confident of themselves than those who do not. While some may finish a you telling a great story without ever taking a name, others will take names and introduce them to new friends. These are the people whose college friends know about their office friends who again know about their school friends and so on.
Try to act like the second kind. It may make a huge difference to the way you feel about yourself.
