Try to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. If there's something that you don't like change it. Sit down and think of why you aren't confident. Maybe join a gym. Get outside. Pick up a new sport.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA . . . . sorry . . . the "love myself more" part just made me giggle. As far as the confidence thing it depends on the situation. No one is confident at everything they do, though some folks are pretty good at pretending. If it is public speaking for instance, know your material and prepare yourself for eventualities (questions, counter arguments, etc.) Remember, those people are there to listen to you, which means you are in charge, sort of. As far as the love thyself thing . . . all kidding aside . . . do something nice for someone. Find out when your co-worker's b-day is and get them a cake with a card that you had everyone sign. Help a little old lady with her groceries . . . give up your seat on the train to that little old man with the cane . . . it's the little things that make a difference to people. Any one of those things will mean alot to the person, whether show it or not. Then you can have the satisfaction of knowing that you did something nice today and you're not a complete jerk.

Self loathing is based upon interaction with others and the way that you wish to be perceived and the way you think you are perceived - by family, friends, etc. But you must realise that all others are transient and there is no guarantee that they will remain as part of your life. Everyone of us are alone in this world for just a few short years - but we all have a perfect right to be here, as part of the animal kingdom, part of this world and part of the overall cosmos. No other life form in this world, great, small or microbe, has more or less right to be here than you. Be at one with the situation and don't demand from others what you cannot give yourself - but above all, be proud of your place in this world.

Think about the people that love you. Think about the people who like you. Forget about people who dont, they dont know what they are missing.
When you go to bed say to yourself, ;I am loveable and very important; this is true, you need to learn to believe it.
Set yourself a challenge a day; smile at 5 people, walk on a wall, hop for 20 yards. that kind of thing- people will think you are crazy. so what? you will find that nothing awful happens and learn to laugh at yourself, you will appear more confident which is the beginning of being more confident.
Remember - you are loveable and very important!

start by talking to someone who's smart enough to listen properly and give a wise answer. Tell them everything about how you feel about yourself, why you don't love yourself, etc. If they are really wise they will be able to ask you some questions that will get you thinking about things you'd missed.
That's the start of the journey. There's lots more after that.

this is a small part of something i wrote a long time ago and in writing it i really helped myself realise how amazing i am and how i deserved to be loved by myself and others .....
Loving yourself has got to be one of the hardest things anyone ever has to do , to have faith in you as a person , to never doubt who you are and what you do , to like you exactly as you are and appreciate all aspects of you. Yet we limit our self in so many ways if we do not .
We cannot fully progress emotionally , mentally or spiritually without trusting we are wonderfully unique and beautiful individuals with so much to offer to this world .
So how do we do it ? How do we start to love that person inside and out ?
Well I think firstly it begins by accepting and understanding that all those factors you don’t like about yourself are really part of you and not something to be ashamed off . Everything about you makes you exactly who you are, even those parts you try to forget , and as they are still in our mind and we cannot get rid of our past perhaps if we embrace it and allow it to become part of us it may be the key to its own release !

Start believing in yourself you probably put yourself down a lot you can stop there and I guarantee your confidence will boost up. I'm just assuming you do that, I've noticed most people that don't have confidence in themselves cut themselves down a lot.

Write a list of your fears. Like if you find it hard to talk to others, write stuff down to talk about
write down what's pretty about you...and make sure you show it off...if you got big brown eyes, wear some mascara
You should ask your friends for them to give you a makeover...that usually makes people feel good about themselves...they feel pretty and you can appreciate the love your friends have for you

It depends what you dont like about yourself but....
1. Pamper yourself and have 'me time'....
2. I've heard if you stand in front of the mirror naked for 5 mins a day that helps you accept yourself.
3. Write a list of all your good qualities and focus on them instead of the things you dont like!
Good luck x

why aren't you your favourite person now? and confidence for what? i'd suggest affirmations in the mornings. also, you could set little goals for yourself throughout the day and you will feel great when you accomplish them. the best thing would be to talk to someone about your feelings and see where they stem from and how to work them out.
