When you are clothed in the armor of your own self confidence, you belong anywhere. It’s in your step, in your swagger. You project out that you are cool, confident and a bit dangerous.
I’ve dined in 5 star restaurants, been upgraded to suites. The key is to smile slightly at everyone, like the world is good and it couldn’t be otherwise. And when someone impedes your path, be calm, be polite but be firm.
If polite and firm, work, that is preferable but if no other choice is given then you will need to be less than kind. This isn’t being overbearing. This is standing up for yourself. If you act with confidence and as if you belong then that is how others see you.
Whatever that doubting voice in your head is saying, ignore it as best you can. It is lying most times and when it’s not, it’s trapping you. Sometimes our brains are just abusive assholes who insist they are just trying to help.
