Smiling makes us feel confident because it tricks our brain into thinking we are happy. When you smile, your brain gets a signal that says, 'I'm feeling good!' That makes you believe you're more capable and sure of yourself, just like when you fake being excited about something, and suddenly you do feel excited!
Examples
- When you smile at yourself in the mirror before an interview, you feel braver.
- A child who smiles while trying to ride a bike suddenly feels more confident.
- You start laughing at a joke, and then you feel like you're having fun even if it wasn't that funny.
