Thief answered Friday March 28 2008, 3:30 am: i think i remember when i didn't have much self confidence in me. It really sucked, but i may have a solution, i do remember when i started drawing and finishing some of my pictures i got this feeling of accomlishment. As if i did something not may people could do (which i found out not many can) also i started listening to techno, happy hardcore, hardcore, jungle, frumb n' bass. It made me have some kind of confidence, like i can become someone and not give a fuck if anybody had a problem with me. After this transformation i made a lot of friends, sure there were problems but i know if i set my mind to it that i can jump back up on my feet. What im saying is to find something, a lil hobby maybe and then knowing that self-accomplishment will give you confidence and re asurence that will make you feel better. Hope this helps and take care [ Thief's advice column | Ask Thief A Question ]

Only you could succeed in what you really wanna do, maintain to be in a happy spirit.
Have God in you.
Pray and ask that he give you more strength.
He'll only give to you if you believe you could do it and be willing to become loyal and be confident.
You should be able to look in the mirror and be happy with yourself and have 100% ability to do anything.
Vikki27 answered Sunday March 2 2008, 4:41 pm: Lack of self confidence isn't as uncommon as you might think. Even those girls who walk around looking gorgeous all the time sometimes lack self confidence. Why do you think they make so much of an effort?
Self confidence is all about feeling comfortable with yourself and comfortable in your skin. Although it's not about changing yourself as such, sometimes there may be things that need to be changed to boost self confidence. For example, if you know you are overweight, exercising and eating healthily to drop the weight can give a huge confidence booster.
What you need to do is think about the root of your low self esteem. Is it something to do with the way you look, do you not think you're intelligent enough, do you not think you have enough friends. Work out which aspect it is you feel you need to work on and then work out how to tackle it. If you don't like your hair, see if you can change it in some way. If you think you're not smart enough, study or get a tutor.
It can also help to give yourself a mantra or choose some affirmations to recite to yourself when you're feeling less confident. Something like "I am a happy, independent and confident person." Sure, you might feel a little silly but the greatest minds in the world support the use of positive affirmations.
Finally, the biggest way I find self confidence? I imagine a light inside me, glowing outwards. Hard to explain but I feel my body fill with a bright glow that everyone around me can see. The second I feel that glow, I feel miles more confident. Give it a try and see what it does for you! [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]
TheAnnie answered Sunday March 2 2008, 4:00 pm: well, why would you doubt yourself? you should trust yourself. well, dont worry, you soon be the guru of self confidence ;)
make a list of all the things youve done (good things, accomplisments, etc)
focus on adding to this list.
when you are stuck with choosing something, trust yourself. if it doesn't work out right, who cares, its abump in the road.
smile and know that you are special (which you are).
and dont compare yourself to other ppl (they are not you, you are unique) [ TheAnnie's advice column | Ask TheAnnie A Question ]
