<human>:  What strategies can be used to become more confident socially?
<bot>: One strategy to become more confident socially is to practice self-acceptance and positive self-talk. Remind yourself that it's OK to make mistakes, and that you have plenty of positive qualities. Make an effort to be more aware of your body language, such as avoiding crossed arms and maintaining good posture, as this can help you exude more confidence. Additionally, make sure to build your skills and knowledge in areas that you feel insecure about, as feeling more competent can help you feel more confident in social settings. Finally, you may want to practice joining conversations, asking questions, and making small talk with people you're interested in getting to know better.
