(8 Marks)
In life, you'll always come across situations where
aways come across situations where there will be someone else who's better than
you, especially there is no one quality or standard
mere is no one quality or standard that people can be judged on. There will
ve someone who looks better, has more money or is more intelligent than you. How you
Moose to approach these situations, of course, depends on the perspective you take. People in
wemselves aren't intimidating, it's the opinions you form about them that make you feel so. Rather
than judging people on a single attribute and getting intimidated, be comfortable with who you are
and approach other people as complete individuals rather than a bundle of good or bad attributes
The key to not letting others intimidate you is to know your own worth. Don't let your sense of if
be defined by what others think of you or how you compare yourself to them. Know what you are,
and be comfortable in your skin. Instead of feeling threatened and letting your ego in the way,
you could benefit a great deal by being around people who might be better than you in some ways.
Respect others for what they are and use these opportunities to learn from the strengths and virtues
of others.
Don't get bogged down by what you don't have or can't do. We all have limitations. Learn to accept
them and focus on your strengths. A lot of times, we come under pressure from what people we
believe to be more popular and influential than us, in a bid to fit in with them. However, at times
like these, it's important for you to stay true to yourself and say 'no when you're expected to do
something that makes you uncomfortable.
Your first response to an intimidating person or situation would probably be to avoid them
altogether. However, avoidance only goes on to increase your anxiety. Confront these situations
head on, with more and more practice, you'll start finding these situations easier to deal with.
Always keep in mind that everybody has flaws and everyone has his/her own share of struggles,
even if you aren't able to spot them. Our self-esteem gets lowered when we focus too much on
our weaknesses and neglect what we get right. Change this pattern and start giving yourselfcredit for
your strengths and success.
