How to Improve a Partner\’s Self-Confidence
Self-confidence is something that makes us strong enough to face the world and survive the numerous issues that life throws at us on daily basis. A person lacking self-confidence will find his self-esteem drop to a dangerous level and struggle to cope with the smallest of issues in life.
If you are aware of your partner’s lack of self-confidence and want to help them by giving them a confidence boost, start appreciating them for who they are, remind them of their strengths, support them and celebrate their moments of success.

You need to become a student of your partner again. Even though you believe you know them very well, start studying them again to get a sense of their true potential and what they want to achieve in life. This will help you decide where you should help them out through encourage and support.

Compliment your partner as often as you can. However make sure that the compliments do not come off as forced and premeditated. Make them sound as natural and spontaneous as possible. Focus primarily on their strengths, so that they gain more confidence in them and consequently themselves as well.

Constructive criticism is an important part of making your partner better than they already are. If you really care about them, you will help them to rise to their potential, which is only possible through an honest feedback. However, it is really important to choose the words very carefully while criticising them over something. You do not want to hurt them or damage their self-confidence even further. Watch your tone with them as well.

Celebrate the success of your partner with them. Share their joy when they reach a certain milestone, or achieve something that they have been aiming at for quite some time. Let them know that you acknowledge and value their success. This will not only make them feel satisfied, but will also keep them motivated.

Keep in mind that your partner’s self-confidence will heavily depend on their ability to make decisions and get these decisions approved by others, most importantly you. Therefore, support your partner when they make a good decision. If you do not agree with their, disagree respectfully while giving a proper explanation for why you are disagreeing with them. Do not make a habit of rejecting the decisions and ideas of your partner.
