Vapourmile: Thanks a lot for your suggestion on just concentrating about what I want to say. Just focusing on that might help, but I know the diference betwen self confidence and pride. I do think that I have both. Pride, unlike what people believe, is not bad. You need to have pride of where you come from, of what you are, there is a difference between that and arrogance.
Anyway, no, I'm not concerned about what other people think, but part of being a diplomat is to be concerned on the image you're portraying to the other countries. I don't see anything bad or wrong about my posture or my slang words, but I know they are not as good as they should be it is necessary that I do correct them because otherwise I won't be accepted as a diplomat. I have to be very careful on those aspects. But thanks a lot, you still helped me!
