Mastering the DM: Expert Tips to Start Real Conversations on Instagram

Relationship experts say to skip generic openers and start with a hook tied to the person’s profile (a comment or question about something they posted), find something you genuinely relate to, and use an icebreaker if needed. Stay confident and detached from the outcome, aim to move the chat forward only if there’s mutual interest, and when the conversation flows, offer your number or propose a casual meet-up to transition from DMs to real-life plans.

Garry: I’d Beat Makhachev Right Now, Confidence Soars

UFC welterweight Ian Garry, who just lost a five-round title bid to Islam Makhachev at UFC 330, says he would beat Makhachev in a rematch right now, citing immense self-belief and his team's preparation, though an immediate title shot is unlikely and he will need to beat other top contenders to earn another crack at the belt. He acknowledged he could have added more volume and kicks in the fight, and at 28 Garry remains a top contender with time on his side.

A Simple Neck Gesture to Project Confidence and Build Trust, Say Experts

Confidence expert Dr. Shadé Zahrai suggests that the distance between chin and chest—neck flexion—can signal confidence and boost how others respond, with elongation of this distance described as a natural way to feel more empowered. The piece notes a 2025 Psychophysiology study linking neck flexion to lower feelings of power and mood, though Zahrai argues a simple posture adjustment can create a positive feedback loop in social interactions. It also highlights APA-backed confidence tips like self-affirmations, celebrating small wins, and building resilience through connection, wellness, healthy thinking, and meaning.

Twenty Veneers, a New Smile: A Man Regains Confidence

A man unhappy with his earlier veneers and a chipped front tooth underwent a cosmetic makeover: Dr. Arthur Glosman replaced his old veneers with 20 porcelain veneers (10 on the upper teeth and 10 on the lower) after a temporary phase that let him test the look. The result is a whiter, wider, more natural-looking smile that leaves him looking and feeling younger and more confident.

A measured nod to confidence: neuroscience reveals the ideal level of overconfidence

Knowable Magazine’s interview with cognitive neuroscientist Steve Fleming explains metacognition—the brain’s monitoring of its own thinking—unfolds in stages from trial-by-trial uncertainty to post‑decision appraisal. The take‑home: projecting a touch of overconfidence can help others see you as competent, but being blind to your own limits is risky; anxiety can distort learning from feedback, while open‑mindedness correlates with more accurate metacognition and belief updating. The findings suggest teaching metacognition in education could curb polarization and improve decision‑making by balancing confidence with self‑awareness.
