You just need to relax and not worry about what other people think about you, because your friends only think good things of you and people who don't aren't your friends. This is a lesson that learned a while ago: learn to laugh at yourself! If you fall down the stairs at school, Laugh at yourself, and let your friends laugh too,because life is funny like that sometimes, and before you know it you'll have so much self esteem and self confidence!

Talk to people and make some new friends. Tell positive things about yourself and things that you have accomplished and things that make you feel good about yourself. You may say there is nothing good about you now but come again and im sure that there are. Get involved in school, I know for a fact that there are many social clubs like Drama and Key. Or sports if your athletic.

Talk to people that you think might be decent and think positively about yourself. Like I mean if you are ever feeling down and are in self pity think about why you are doing that and I mean if you think about it and think you ahve a good life, you will be in a good mood and probaly talk to more people. Trust me, the only reason I am outgoing is because I just talk to people about random stuff and joke around and that's how I make friends. It works, people like people who joke around and have fun. Hope I helped. ~calie~

umm there isn't really any ways to make you feel good about yourself youve gotta be able to do that on your own...and as for being outgoing..people who are shy usually don't say much because they are worried about what people will think of them if they speak up well just say whats on your mind and if people don't like it then screw them

Try joining clubs and sports at school or just things like. You'll make new friends and gain new interests, and find things that you're good at. That should make you feel better about yourself! Good luck!
Hope I helped!

self esteem isn't gained over night. itz something you have. but the reason i have it is find something your good at, whether it's school, a sport, or if your funny, maybe even video games. then look at urself, find something good. it could be that you don't have terrible acne or your nose is cemetrical, or that your eyes are kool, w/e. next time you are afraid to do something because of what people maty think, rememeber those things and it will help your confidence. remember that if they care enough about you to talk bout ya, they have no life and you are better!
lotz o' luv,

There's no easy, quick way to gain self confidence. You have to believe that you're really that awesome, you can't just fake it. There's no way to build it, you just have to think positively, ignore your flaws, and enhance the good things about you so you just automatically think you're really that great.
To be more outgoing, you just have to start talking to people. At parties, go up to people you don't know and just introduce yourself, don't get all freaked out that you don't know anyone. Sit at a new table during lunch, or actually talk to the people that sit around you during class that you don't know very well. You don't just become outgoing overnight, you have to realize that you can talk to people easily, and are able to. By the time you get self-confidence and outgoing skills, people will love you!

Instead of focusing on flaws you may have, focus on your good side. Every half-hour think of one good thing about yourself. And also don't be negative. I have low self-esteem. I was always focusing on my flaws, and that was the biggest mistake of my life. Don't do what I did. If you want to be more outgoing join cheerleading, or another sport. Hang out with your friends and make new ones too. And don't walk looking at the floor (if you do) walk with your head up and say hi to people you know or are friends with. People will think your friendly, and maybe want to talk to you, which will keep you with good self esteem and confidence, because you have friends. Remember to focus on things that are good about yourself, and to feel good about yourself.
