http://mindpersuasion.com/ When you close yourself off, people have to try and guess why. Usually this isn't going to be very flattering to you. On the other hand, if you express your ideas like a little kid, people will love you. Learn How: http://mindpersuasion.com/selfconfidence/

2. Little kids are amazing.

3. They are both fearless and adorable at
the same time.

4. They speak without worrying about
what people will say.

5. Now, if you're a parent this isn't so
great.

6. But if you're like me, and you enjoy
other people's kids, this is pretty fun to
watch.

7. They have ZERO problems standing up
in the middle of a crowd and shouting
whatever's on their mind.

8. Again, this is pretty embarrassing for
the parents sometimes, but this
fearlessness is precisely why kids are
so adorable.

9. We don't have to try and guess what
they mean, or interpret the multiple
layers of body language and facial
expressions.

10. They are just pure, open, fearless
energy.

11. Maybe they remind us the way we
used to be. Maybe they remind us
when times were a lot simpler.

12. Who knows.

13. But it's pretty widely agreed upon that
one (there are MANY) measures of the
"quality" of the adult is whether or not
they like kids.

14. When I was a kid, there was a old lady
who lived next door who HATED kids.

15. At least we thought so.

16. We'd be playing outside, and she'd
peek out through the window and
scare the crap out of us.

17. Now, she may have loved kids, but
didn't know how to talk to them. Who
knows.

18. This is a funny thing that happens to us
as we get older.

19. Communication becomes harder.

20. More complicated. There's more risk,
more at stake.

21. That natural outgoing "pureness" gets
covered up by a layer of careful
protection, anxiety, and sometimes
fear.

22. The problem is that when people
watch us, and they see us not being as
outgoing as we'd like to be, they
assume all kinds of things about us.

23. Maybe we don't like them.

24. Maybe we're "stuck up."

25. Maybe we think we're better than
everybody.

26. To make matters worse, everybody's
standing around, inside their own
protective bubble of "social safety"
and waiting for somebody else to
make the first move.

27. Why not you?

28. Why not be the person who walks over
and starts the conversation?

29. Why not be the person who shows
everybody else it's still safe to be
outgoing and expressive?

30. Of course, this won't come as naturally
as when you were a kid.

31. But the benefits of being adult means
you can decide HOW you think,
instead of just relying on instincts.

32. And make no mistake, you CAN retrain
your brain just as easily as you can
learn anything else.

33. And you HAVE learned a lot in life
already, right?

34. Learn how to program your brain, and
express yourself.
