Getting invited to a formal event might make you glad and worried at the same time. You think that it’s a wonderful opportunity, but you also worry that you will embarrass yourself in the process. You even think about the other people in attendance.
Drop all the negative thoughts and feel good about the event. In the end, it’s your confidence that will carry you through the night. Fear and nervousness are not great looks on you.
Even if you wear the best outfit, you won’t look great if you don’t feel confident about what you’re wearing. It helps a lot, though, to have a customised suit made by a bespoke tailor rather than a ready-to-wear suit that might not match your body size.
Don’t mind other people
The reason why it’s easy for you to lose confidence is that you keep worrying about other people. You think about their judgement of you. It makes you conscious about what you’re wearing or how you look. You even try to compare yourself with them and conclude that you don’t fit in. Instead of thinking about how you fare against others, you need to think about enjoying the moment. They will mind their own business, and so can you.
You’re not in a competition
You go to a formal event to celebrate a special occasion with someone you know or love. You also do it because you want to mingle with your peers. It’s not about determining who the most successful person is in the room or who has the best look for the night.
You’re enough
Even if you try to compare yourself with others, you need to realise that you’re an accomplished person. You may not have what others have, but you’re happy with what you have. Your goals are also different from those of everyone else. Never think that you’re the least deserving person to be in the room.
Your confidence will show
You won’t have the chance to meet with every person in the room, but everyone who sees you will form a judgement about you. Even if you look good, if you’re not confident, it will show. People will think that you’re not happy to be there. It’s even worse for the person who invited you to be a part of the event. You might look like an ungrateful person who only attended for the sake of doing so.
Be confident wherever you go
Whether it’s a formal occasion or any other event, you need to be confident. You won’t enjoy any occasion if you keep worrying.
Think about what you’re wearing and how great you look in it. You also need to think about the person celebrating the occasion and why you’re there in the first place. These reasons should be enough for you to be happy. In the future, you don’t want others to come to your party and exude a terrible attitude.
