Here you go:

Take steps to raise your self-esteem and feel better about who you are.

Steps:
1. Take stock of your strengths. Review what you are good at and tasks you excel at.

2. Think of things you can do or projects you can undertake that use and develop these strengths.

3. Reflect honestly on your weaknesses – but instead of dwelling on how lazy, mean, disorganized or passive you are, commit to change. Brainstorm specific things you can do to overcome the flaws you believe you have.

4. Survey your environment. Is a friend, family member or co-worker criticizing you unjustly? Distance yourself from this person or resolve not to let his or her opinion affect you.

5. Act confidently. People will sense your self-confidence and respond positively to you, strengthening your image and self-image all at once.

Tips:
The key to positive self-esteem is to remember that you have control over your situation: When feeling glum about a character flaw, remind yourself that you can take action to change yourself and shape your future.

Try not to base judgments of yourself on others’ perceptions, which can be fickle.

Asking perfect strangers for advice on improving your confidence probably won’t help. You can’t build someones confidence without knowing how and with what they need help on improving. Check out some self help books. Really, I don’t understand how someone doesn’t have confidence in themselves.

Why don’t u try having a makeover-pamper ur self and accept urself for who u are, Look at ur good qualities and fall back on that. As far as friends try other options other kinds of people, maybe ur choosing or aiming at the wrong types of people, And just be nice and smile often (people like optimistic not pessimistic) It worked for me………Good Luck

This may sound silly BUT it works! Our minds are more powerful than we believe. A good way to boost confidence *and other mind games* is positive affirmation. Sit down and relax. Tell yourself of your good qualities. See yourself with confidence talking and hanging out with friends. Telling yourself several times through the day will really help. More importantly, BELIEVE that it will, believe that your good qualities are there for all to see!

join a group that centers around something your good at. Soccer, softball/baseball, tennis, acting, book club anything your already acomplished at. Its easier to talk about what you know and relate. The confidence will come as you get better at talking in general. It just takes practice and a book won’t give you that.

yeah. How about writing down stuff that makes you feel good about yourself. Write down what makes you you. Re fresh your memory on who you are. Watch you head rise and your shoulders rise once you grasp that terrific person you are and people will draw to you. And if they dont, you wont notice it anyways cuz you will have found yourself.
if you are in college, there is a class that can assist you called life management which offers a source of support from the group.
