I think both are incorrect.
He doesnt have confidence in himself.
He doesnt feel confident about himself.
He doesnt have confidence.

Please take your pick:
1. He doesn't have any confidence.
2. He doesn't have any self-confidence.
3. He is not confident.
4. He is not confident of himself.
5. There is no confidence in him.
6. There is no self-confidence in himself.

The second is more correct. To me, "for" makes no sense in sentence one.
You would really say, "He has no self-confidence" or "He doesn't have confidence IN himself" to employ the most common usage.

Instead, say,
"He doesn't have confidence in himself"
or "He lacks self confidence."

Neither. I would say "He doesn't have confidence IN himself.

It should be "....confidence in himself"
And now I'll be thinking about this all day and wondering what the distribution and structure of "in" vs. "about" is in propositions of this type (e.g., "he is confident about his decisions" vs. "he has confidence in his decisions") ....
