How to not only prime yourself but also show your confidence, even if you're not. A person knowing where to go looks much more confident. The same if you want to reduce the likelihood of becoming pickpocketed once you leave the airside at the airport. If you pre-planned where to go, not start hesitation, or bring up the phone or a map exposing not only your insecurity but also what kind of cellphone you have to offer for a thief, you mitigate the risk of pickpocket.

The same goes for the first impression at an interview or a first date. If you been recce, i.e. reconnoitre, the venue the day before, knowing where to go, how the entrance is, the menu and the surroundings you are very likely to not only become more confident once the meeting takes place, but you are also giving the non verbal cues of confidence.

Confident people always know where they're going, or primed themselves to. They don't give the impression of insecurity: hunched shoulders staring at the shoes, but facing people, giving them a smile. This might sound like a quick fix hence most of us are not only "not confident" but also introverts. But to start becoming more conscious of your own behaviour and finding cues to priming yourself, you actually will improve your confidence. Fake it till you make it, and mind your steps! Keep them in mind!
