What you have to remember, hun, is that you're you for a reason and deep down, would you change that??
Everyone has hard times in their lives, but try to remember that one day you'll see the sun again and stuff will cheer up for you.
For the moment, try to concentrate on what you're good at and, if possible, go out with your friends for a day.
Try to tell someone how you feel, too. A problem shared is a problem halved!
And also know that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Good luck and I hope I helped,

What usually helps me is that i try to do somthing that i enjoy or am good at and then i get all happy about it cuz i did a good job. But what you could also do is just say hey i'm good and there's nothing that can stop me from being to confident. but lol just make youself feel good and that will easily make you self asteam and confidence go up!
good luck and hope i helped!

Yeah, you just have to think, "I'm me for a reason...." Someone up there thought that you were perfect for living your life. They thought you could handle it. So you can. You just have to make the best with what you've been given. Focus on your good points, and don't say you don't have any, because you do. And DO NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK, to a certain extent anyway. Don't act so weird that people don't respect you, but don't take everything they say to heart. You can't please everyone, so just be yourself. The right friends will come. If you have any hobbies or anything, throw yourself into that. Getting really awesome at something is a great way to gain confidence. Any other questions, IM me.

Building your confidence and self-esteem requires a lot of effort. First, you have be willing to put forth that effort...

Second, you need to realize that a lack of confidence is born out of unrealistic expectations. Unrealistic expectations of yourself, brought directly to you by...well you.

I don't mean to sound critical. The fact of the matter is that everyone is their own worst critic. We all have unrealistic expectations of ourselves, we want to be perfect. The problem is...none of us are! So start appreciating yourself, not for who you would like to be, but for who you all ready are :) You need to look in the mirror and tell yourself that you were created beautiful, and equal to everyone else. You are a spectacular creation! You are wonderful, and I MEAN IT!! :P

And if life in general is getting you down, try to remember what a fantastic gift life really is. And if you are waiting for circumstances to be perfect, so that you can be happy...Stop waiting. Happiness is not a product of the perfect circumstances, happiness if the unfailing joy that you hold in your heart despite the most imperfect of circumstances. Stop waiting to gain your confidence, and stop waiting to be happy. Choose to be confident, and choose to be happy...Right now.

Best wishes ;)

I feel your pain, Whoever-you-are. It sometimes takes forcing yourself to a point of confidence. You know, like when you feel uncomfortable around a new friend/new place/etc. just try your best to get used to it. Put yourself in places you'd rather not be until you feel alright with them. Sometimes it takes putting yourself through a little pain to feel better in the long run.



-EDIT: Wait, what'd you mean by you've had a few knocks lately with everything?... If it means what I think it means, then yeah I feel your pain. If it doesn't... well then forget I ever said anything.
