Your confidence is low
Isn’t status a weird thing? Yes, sometimes it’s defined by your attractiveness, wealth, or competence. But usually, it’s far more subtle than that. Have you ever just met someone who instantly controls the room? Everyone seems to be eating out of the palm of their hand.
Why is this happening and how are they earning respect from others? Well, the truth is that a lot of our status in life comes from confidence. Others notice when we walk in with our heads held high, acting like we belong.
When we act like we deserve someone else’s attention, time, and respect, people are likelier to think we do too. Your lack of confidence could be giving out a low-status energy. And in general, we humans are good at tapping into the vibes that people are sending out.
Unfortunately, if you believe you are “nobody” and undeserving, some people may treat you that way too. Confidence isn’t a personality trait you have or don’t have. It’s a learned behavior. And you can work on building your confidence over time.
