What I do when I get nervous or scared about something is I write down everything good about it. Nothing bad. Just the good. If I don't have paper or don't feel like writing, I say positive things over and over again. It's a mind thing...if you say it over and over, you start to believe it. For instance, look at yourself in the mirror and focus on a few good features you have and say it to yourself. If I'm not too sure about my hair on a particular day, i say "My hair looks good today." or if I even have a bad day all together I concentrate on everything good that happened. There's always somehting good about everything even if it seems bad. Just look on the bright side. I hope I helped. =]

Have a confident walk. Walk like you know exactly where you're going, don't glance behind you, basically just strut, but look people in the eyes and smile at them. If you look like you have confidence in yourself, people will believe that, and if people think you are a confident person with good self esteem, you will become confident. Whenever you feel un-confident, pretend you are.

It's hard to carry confidence in yourself but you have to try. After all you have to live with you and only you for the rest of your life. Just try thinking positive things about yourself. If you think anything negatively about your appearence, change that, look at yourself and tell yourself that you're pretty, know that there is no such thing as being "ugly" because everyone is beautiful to someone. Also remember this nobody is nobody, so don't ever think that you mean nothing. You've just got to keep positive thoughts in your head, it takes a while but eventually it will come naturally.
Good luck and I hope I could help!

I completly agree with Mangy Mama. the only thing I would like to add to her suggestions, is say all those things in a mirror. When you wake up, before you start your day look into your mirror, tell yourself how great you are. that you love yourself. that you are beautiful. really, Mangy Mama's list covers it all.
print it out nice and big, and tape it to your mirror. read it to yourself while looking at your face in the mirror. it has worked for me. you will start to see a difference in your face. you will start seeing things that you like in the mirror, and you will start feeling better about yourself.
good luck sweetie, and don't let anyone else drag you down. people that cut at your self confidence, lack their own.

Positive things?
-Yes, I admit I have flaws, but so does everyone else in the world.
-I'm always good enough.
-Nobody is above me. I'm not above others, but I can be above their actions.
-Who cares what other people think? I know I'm good people. That's all that really matters.
-Yes, I'm beautiful. Inside and out. Inner beauty seeps to the surface and always outshines outer beauty.
-I'm a great person, and nobody can ever take that away from me.

Confidence is a mindset. All you have to remember is everyone is worth being on this earth for one reason or another. Remember God (if you believe in him) put you here for a reason. When you start feeling down, just remember all the compliments you have ever received and remember they were true or else they wouldn't have said it. I have a confidence problem too. However, I just think to myself, what makes everyone else think they are so much better than me? Then I remember, they are not. We are all just human, and at least I am here to enjoy my life. Good Luck!!

Every morning when you wake up go straight to a mirror and look at your self. Say at least one positive thing about yourself while looking at yourself - it can be about your looks, personality, smarts, etc. - anything that's positive and why people would want to be your friend, etc. Don't get overly conceited with it, but it will help.
