Stop doubting yourself work with what you have and forget about what society says you are lacking who is society to tell you that what you are is not right.
Look in the mirror until you find things you like about yourself it might take a bit depending on how low of a self esteem you have but it will work if YOU want it to.

Losing confidence is no longer trusting in the ability to perform. It may be reasonable as the result of past failure to perform, or unreasonable, because one "just has a feeling" about something.
If you understand this and not run away from it by blindly seeking confidence then you may actually look at the problem that is making you lose the confidence in yourself. Whatever is the problem, just look at it with complete attention without naming it. Dont try to solve it either it. When you look at something with great attention then there is no difference between the observer and the observed. The entity that sees non confidence and the non confidence itself are not two different things. When this happens then there is only action. Right action. That action is confident.

You really do have to find something that you're good at in a social setting. Even if you paint or write in private, you must come out and share your talent with others. You must have some unique quality that sets you apart.
The other option, (if you don't know what you're good at) is to try new things. Have you ever set potatoes? Have you ever carved in wood? Have you ever played the tin whistle? Have you ever kayaked? What about joining a local search and rescue team?
You can also read special interest books. Are you into forensic science? Space exploration? Philosophy? Religion? Human sexuality? Read about it and join a group to discuss it!
Finally, get a good partner. Someone you really care about and get intimate with them on every level. Soon, your confidence will grow!
Good luck! I wish you all the best!

The very best thing you can do for yourself is make yourself smile. It has a way of changing your entire outlook.
Get you a nice haircut professionally done, and develop a look all your own,, tastefully of course and with that gorgeous smile you put on get out and help other people and soon you will find you are very confident and happy because you are not focusing your attention on yourself.

Watch some James Bond movies...seriously. The best way to be confident is to know how to act confident. There's a saying that has carried me through life, and it is now yours to ponder.
Fake it 'til you make it.
You'd be surprised how easily you can attain confidence by simply acting like a confident person. It's all in how people perceive you.

Well, this is a very hard question because I lack self confidence also yet I have always read that if YOU feel beautiful then you are beautiful.

Me and my cousin were talking about this over the weekend. We were both shy kids but we got a lot of confidence after entering the military. I know that may not help you, but it work for us :)
