Watch this if you're an introvert 

You will heal this generation really

Bro is not pregnant but never fails to deliver

The biggest issue with being introverted like myself is literally thinking about how other people perceive me and being shy at the same time. This literally reduces your self confidence

sometimes I wonder how many people accualy aren't introverted just shy or have social anxiety, it's interesting how we don't make a difference between an introvert and a shy person

Another thing that can help is changing the way you think about yourself. If you’re in an overwhelming situation just think “I’m overwhelmed,” instead of thinking “I want to die,” or “I’m so stupid.” Those negative affirmations become a self fulfilling prophecy

1. The reason 2. Self efficacy 3. Forgiveness 4. Anti procrastination techniques 5. Visualize your success

I really liked how you spoke about the 'fake it till you make it' mentality here. Because as someone who struggles with low confidence and low self esteem a lot of ppl advised me to follow this but it just didn't work for me for some reason. So as an introvert this video has truly helped me a lot. Thank you

Being selective with your friends is a really important point. I used to have a friend that was sooo insecure, and I became insecure because of her. When I finally left I was able to heal my social anxiety and now going to school is okay.

I think a lot of people just cope having poor social skills or having social anxiety in the name of "oh im a introvert". Thats not the true definition of "introvert". You just have poor social skills. Level it up

I rarely ever speak to anyone in my class other than this one person, usually like to stick to myself in a corner everyone was basically chill with me until one day the "troublemaker" of our class was throwing pieces of chalk at my benchmate and kept on hitting me instead- I somehow I went up to them (probably over like half a foot taller) and basically threatened them and scolded them about how shit of an aim they had, how they're so dumb to even think they could hit accurately from so far etc while backing them into a corner, because I just wanted to sit and read in a corner but they wouldn't let me FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR IF THEY DID LITERALLY ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAVE ANNOYED ME THEY KEPT APOLOGISING AND LITERALLY BACKS AWAY FROM ME?? My 2 minutes of confidence has saved me hours of just being tolerant. the fact that I never threaten anyone made this more impactful so yes

Being an introvert,the worst part for me is I can’t even look at people in the eye(not even a second)😢💔

It's even harder sometimes to accept yourself as an introvert. I also even tried to become more confident and be myself but sometimes it hits us hard when we are in a social environment and people want us to be like them and have the same enegetic level as them.Even idk i even only met those people who drained my energy which literally affected me a lot.But i'm trying my hard to be my best self everyday so that i don't feel bothered by anyone and be happy in my own

Idk if im introverted or just shy, i always want to talk to people in school but I never know what to say and I'm not confident enough to talk to them, at the same time I'm also perfectly happy on my own

this is my comfort channel man ! keep it up

I liked the video but i wanted to add my own opinion too, just if it could help ya know. So imagine a confident person. This person doesn't know how to dance, but they are in gathering where they are required to. Despite not knowing how to dance, they will give it a shot and won't care if they are being GOOD at it or whether people are laughing, at them. They are confident in being themselves and don't care about anyone. All i wanna say is, it's great to improve yourself and acquire skills, but don't tie your confidence to any achievement, please. I came to know the hard way after being an academically bright student, when one time I couldn't score as much as I expected to and got depression after that. You are enough in yourself, you don't need to make a personality just to show others, just being true to who you are, accepting and improving yourself is great. I know it was long, I don't know why I wrote it, I never write, but if you're still reading I hope it was helpful.

I feel like I'm starting to transition into an extrovert the more i improve myself. I feel more confident in my own skin which leads me to not care about other peoples opinion, not being afraid to talk, and talking just for fun and building connections asking people questions and making them smile whilst smiling yourself makes life less monotonous and boring for me

That spider was a paid actor

I lowkey am loving to see ruff grow as a person,it's just so inspiring and refreshing

I think now I am not even here for the real tips but for him...HE IS FR ATTRACTIVE BRO

I read a book about Self Confidence, written by Charles Pépin. It was pretty philosophical, and concrete at the same time. I remembered well one thing that he said in this book : Self confidence, is having confidence is the world. You can't control everything, so just be there and react to what happens the better you can. Actually it's way better said in the book, and every "philosophical" argument comes with examples. By the way, thanks you Ruff for all these videos, they are so real. It's like if I haven't to overthink and minding about something, because you talk about that something. Keep it up, kiss.

babe wake up ruff uploaded

omgg....that'' join a team sport'' thing is true as hell...I play netball in scl & have had so many friends in my life but those ppl I met at practices were the only ppl who knew my true self ...and they were the only ppl i felt comfortable around...yes we do become a bit louder around them ...lol

Thank you so much. I spent the last 5 years in a class of people who judged me because I don't talk much, I started to become really awkward because I was scared that people would hate me for being silent so I learnt how to talk more than necessary even though I don't like it. Now I have 2 close friends and the rest are just people I'm forced to talk to, thankfully I'm finishing school this year so I can become more independent and work on improving my personality

This makes me realize I have dark confidence without knowing I have it😭😭😭

I wish youtube suggested your channel to me before...as a introverted 16 year old, my self confidence is extremely low...inferiority complex eats me up...thank you for this video!! I am sure this video is gonna help several teenagers like me

Saw the same content somewhere else but you definitely explained it better in your own style, great job again

Excellent method to articulate these points as always. We can truly learn to tackle our internal and external challenges with the simple concepts of developing personal competency, effective communication (additionally reflects the principle to listen more rather than speak to develop an edge in confidence), supporting yourself with a more appropriate social dynamic with few yet strong friendships, and embracing your introversion.

as a introvert w/ heavy social anxiety problems the story with the basketball is so relatable😭 (have done with a textbook before)

literally my comfort channel! a fellow introvert!

Ruff, you are the most motivational youtuber out there, as an introvert i can really relate to this and all your videos have really helped me, Thank you❤❤❤

thank you so much for this video

"-and then opens a scroll and goes 'hear ye, hear ye'" *immediately dies of laughter*

Your videos always seem to pop up at the right time when i need it, it's amazing. This one especially hit hard because right now i'm in a phase where im overanalyzing about how i present myself to others to not be awkward when i'm socializing, and wondering if i could be more extroverted. This video made me realize i could just embrace my introvertedness and use it to my advantage. I love being an introvert, and I really love my solitude, but sometimes i can't help but yearn for connections with others too but i just don't know how,,, now that i came across this video, it really helped a lot and brought a new perspective ;]] thanks ruff!!!!

Yaay!!!the beautiful masked life advice guy uploaded!!!!🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

me waiting for umahhh in the end of every video.

I'm a diehard introvert and just 1year prior i foced myself to socialize, i changed schools so i had to walk 1km through the busiest roads, not gonna lie I learned alot of things in 2023 and i'll continute to improve n fix my faults. This is how i reached you and all i can say is Thankyou for teaching all the additional things i had wanted to know in this transition of Mine

Youre my new favorite content creator

honestly love your videos, always relatable

Thank you for bringing up that introverted doesn’t equal being shy, because it triggers me that so many people treat them as equivalents🙏🏻 But on a more general note: loving this video🔥 I’m not usually a fan of these types of videos but you totally speak my mind. Bro’s out here spitting FACTS!!!

Bro I mean, i ain’t gay, but a kiss is a kiss- Btw good vid, actually this will probably help me in the future, so I will try actually following these tips.

You literally put the right video at the right time . Thankyou

This brother literally gave me the motivation to work out for the first time in my life lol

I like the comedy. It's not over the top, but not forced. It's having fun. I likey.

My best RU-vidr so far when it comes to building your own personality

just discovered this channel few months ago and it rly made me rethink my life (in a good way ofc)

I see now the viewers are increasing . Many people are getting to know about self-improvement, because of you😊 You should make a complete guide on self-improvement please .🎉

I’m a really social and ambitious person but I am introverted in the literal sense. A tip that i give is get a friend group that you truly feel confident in; I truly changed socially, had a glow up and became much more confident just by hanging around other people!

Grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. Grass gets water from the roots in the ground. Grasses are monocotyledon, herbaceous plants. The grasses include the "grass", of the family Poaceae (also called Gramineae). Also sometimes it is used to include the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but belong to different clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style. The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses, like bamboo can grow very tall. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places, even if they are very cold or very dry. Several other plants that look similar but are not members of the grass family are also sometimes called grass; these include rushes, reeds, papyrus, and water chestnut. Grasses are an important food for many animals, like deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars, and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows. Without grass, dirt can wash away into rivers (erosion). Graminoids include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves). Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals. Lawn grass is often planted on sports fields and in the area around a building. Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow. People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer. Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover roofs, and to weave baskets. In English, the word "grass" appears in several phrases. For example: "The grass is always greener on the other side" means "people are never happy with what they have and want something else." "Don't let the grass grow under your feet" means "Do something". "A snake in the grass" is about a person that will not be honest and will trick others. Grass is sometimes used as a slang term for cannabis (also called pot, weed, or marijuana) Thanks 💯🔥✨

In history class, you were only required to write 4 sentences on each test... I wrote entire essays, that covered like 2-3 entire papers. My history teacher even asked me to stop writing such long responses, she even just started giving me gold starts on tests. She also said in all of her years of teaching, several decades worth. I wrote the best test answer she had ever read. Saying it was college level. I have a massive confidence ego in history.

5:37 ngl I thought I was the only one who did stuff like this, it's quite nice to see someone else doing it as well

I am an extrovert but I like someone who is an introvert and your video popped up because I've been trying to understand him more. It is very interesting, but I still don't know what to do tbh.. but I will support and subscribe to your channel. Good luck and keep it up!

When you're good at "something you tell everyone, when you're a master at something everyone tells you" "Wise men speak because they have something to say, Fools because they have to say something" - Platos "A lion would rather hunt the lone buffalo than attack the herd"

not the hydration break lol 😭

I'm the biggest extrovert ever, but this video helped me a lot.

Started watching you a while ago, I think when I started I had about a B in every class. Now my lowest grade is a 94, and I'm no where near as stressed as I once was.

This dude's got charisma for real

Am I introverted? No Am I watching the vídeo? Yes

Ruff vids are so relatable and chill, it has such a nice vibe to be listening to while doing homework 👏✨

This is very nuanced though 😂 don’t forget

ive always been an introvert my whole life but in the last two years, i really tried to hard to become into an extrovert- im almost succeed but i think this is not the thing i want to be, but what the others want me to be. i don't know why did i cared about what do they want me to be in the first place.

I just found this channel, I truly appreciate the words of wisdom or message the videos gives omgg

This makes me think I'm not an introvert

For the always say less than necessary part I actually lived my entire life thinking the opposite way and I always thought that if I keep silent that’s why I’ll appear less confident 😢 you are saving the pour little introvert I am 😭😭🤧

8:22 Real Friends?? How?? That's tough

For rough times, ruff videos

Ruff i love your videos man but "dark confidence" on the thumbnail 😂

i freaking knew all this all i have to do is apply nowwww well a goood reminder though thanku

I always felt like being quiet was offensive, I'm very happy that is not the case, now I know its not weird to not have anything to say to someone.

"wise men speak because they have something to say, fools because they have to say something" god-damn

You are making an excellent work , keep it up !

Appreciate you my guy!

recently got introduced to your channel and I have watched 3-4 vdos of yours but today this vdo is posted exactly when I needed something like this ...well I'm confident in myself and being quite or introverted but people around me tell me speak more socialize ,why don't you ,she doesn't talks hmph..and sometimes I get affected by their these behaviour like today I cried over a similar thing ..IDK if it's truly a prblm or not ..cuz I haven't faced any 'real' problem by being an introvert but people around me say so that you'll be in problems bcz of being an introvert so talk more socialize more otherwise who would help you who would like you and what not but I don't see it coming neither have I faced anything like that ..IDK

6:47 "SPOILER ALERT"‼️‼️‼️ Plato was a greek philosopher

ME STILL A INTROVERT AFTER WACHING THIS

I love your videos man thanks for the new upload

5:38 i didnt speak so much so that even on my primary schools magazine it wrote “if u hear (my name)’s voice, you are incredibly lucky” (smth like that)

Confidence can come from willpower and willpower is a skill that can be trained If you can set a goal and achieve it no matter the struggle, that goal can be getting confident If you can't, train the willpower first, set a smaller goal and get back to it when your willpower is strong enough People exhaustion tho is entirely different beast I still get tired after an hour of talking on uni fair or a day out with friends 😂

I'm introverte but with most confident personality now, but before I was just shaking for everything, communication, speech, eye contact 😅

RUFF HAS POSTED!

I literally had a fight with my mother about this topic a minute before I watch this............ANNND THESE WERE THE EXACT SAMMMME THINGS WE WERE TALKING ABOUTTTTTTTTT

brotha is a badass fr 🔥

I don't want "dark confidence" if I wouldn't even be able to ask to grab my ball real quick.

Ok ok in all seriousness aside , we shld get ruff to 1 million subscribers so he’ll start an onlyfans account .

I was FREAKING about to search this topic!

U got nice volleyball sets bro

this litrally motivated to change myself a bit cs im in like my last high school grade and dont wanna be like this for the last yr too

Exactly the same thumbnail and title . I have watched from "collin the chad "

A great video some of the topics I understood but when you compile them it makes it so much better (are you planning for 400 K or something this year? )

Thanks!!! Love this video and all the suggestions!!

The vid is pretty relatable to me, I hope I follow the same and come out better. And keep up the work buddy it was really good.

Love your videos man! Working on my self improvement too

I never heard a dude tell a dude "I'm famous, check out my OF"... time to try that

3:41 i laughed so hard AHAHAHA

great advice though, thanks!

I miss the days when I was such an extroverted little kid. It’s brings back happier memories I still have a lot of good friends, but I wanna be more confident in myself and my abilities. I realize I care more for others than my own well being. Which is a mistake I should care more about myself and then care for others. I think of my self as an introvert who can socialize with his friends, but with other people that’s hardly the case. Also I do notice in my class people look at me as if I’m emitting an aura 😂 or something cause I’m quiet and mysterious no one would have any clue what I’m thinking of when the teacher asks a question I answer and get it correct and my classmate just look at me. I always think actions speaks louder than words.

I'm a rare breed of introver-extrovert. I'm an ambivert. so there are times when I'm shy and reserved, and times where I'm loud and weird with people I love. But I love all people... except annoying obnoxius ones. they give me headaches. LITERALLY.

I am bored with being introvert😢. Like in my school and in my whole life i honestly never met any introvert. I saw introverts only in social media like they're calling themselves introverts. In my school everyone is friendly if I ever talked with them maybe I made lots of friends. They usually talked with me but the problem is they love partying and lots of outside stuffs which scars me the most. Since I never spend time with them we all never became that close. I never attended any of school ceremonies because it makes me so anxious and I really really hate that😣. I want to have lots of friends too. Like everyone have. But I'm different and because of that I never made any memories. I want to have memories too. I miss school days hope i wasn't introvert and spend times with people.i really never seen any introvert, people sharing their happy moments with friends really hurt the most. I don't even have single photo with anyone of my same age😢

Was watching your video and just another new video popped out ❤

Finally I found someone who studies like me who thinks like me who likes film 📽️ you're like my mirror image but better

For me, gaining confidence was indeed faking it until I make it 💀But people build confidence is sooo many different ways. That’s just how I see it. Love the video! ❤️ Edit: it also depends on what area you’re trying to build confidence in wether it’s internally or in a sport
