Go take a crap in the middle of the street. If you can do that you can do anything.

No, I don't think it is an easy task, but merely by asking about it and thinking about it, it seems that you're taking a good step forward.
Think about areas in which you excel and have strengths. Think about the positive contributions you can make in certain situations. Then see if you can build confidence in interactions around those situations. That's a good place to start.

Just think about your good positive points before leaving. Give a smile to yourself in the mirror.
Remember you are unique in some way!
Accepting yourself the way you are is the biggest challenge but at the same time you must be open to good changes.
Have a positive attitude and things will be fine!

I doubt that there is a fast, easy shortcut, like self-hypnosis where you keep telling yourself that you are great and wonderful, etc.
You build your confidence over time, by finding things that interest you and you become good at. Especially things that you can get paid money for doing.
This is actually a lifetime endeavor.

I learnt to be confident one step at a time. It really is a trick of the mind, and to acquire it requires changing your thought patterns. I did this by repeating mantras to myself. I know it sounds a bit crazy, but I kept repeating "I am confident...I am confident..." to myself, many times a day. What can I say - it worked for me. The basic idea is that if you act confident for long enough you will actually become confident. Gradually words turned into thoughts and thoughts turned into actions. It wasn't easy, but it was a battle I was determined to win. For me it was about as hard as quitting smoking - and like quitting smoking I never regretted it, despite all the setbacks and angst along the way. Another way to gain confidence is to take pride in yourself. Really work on your appearance. Get a friend who has good taste who can help you to buy the right clothes to look good - they don't have to be expensive, but they should be make you look and feel good. When you look good you feel good. When you feel good, other people feel good being around you.
Work on your stature: stand tall, speak up for yourself, get used to making yourself heard. Observe confident people and see how they act, how they speak - I find the most confident people aren't shouty and aggressive, but cool and relaxed. They speak assertively, yet also politely and calmly. They have an aura of self-respect. Another thing: be positive in all of your thoughts. DON'T EVER let negative emotions overwhelm your mind. A great writer once said "Happiness is the refusal of unhappiness." I have found this to be absolutely true in my life.
We're on this earth to grow and evolve. Learning to be confident is probably the best thing you can ever do for yourself because so much else follows on from it in terms of career success, relationships, inner peace, friendships, and so on. I can summarise what I've learnt from this process in one sentence, I would say "Thought is the root of all action." Also, remember that this is a lifelong process. You will not master it in one day, but you will make progress each day if you stick with it. We all have good and bad days, but try to keep the trend upward. Don't be afraid of radical making changes in your life, e.g. if you always wear black, don't be afraid to ditch the black jeans and try something more colourful. If you listen to depressing music, try something more uplifting. If you have so-called friends who always get you down and reinforce your negative mindset then ditch them - they are not friends. Friends are people who make you happy, who energise you. If this applies to you then you need to make new friends. Find people who are positive and confident and share your interests. You'll find that their confidence will rub off on you.
Good luck.

Don`t think to much, just do things .Overanalysing makes you nervous and makes you realise that there are a lot of misstakes you can make.Tell yourself your the man and everything will be okay.Have attitude.
If this does not work drink some beer.

confidence is the natural way of expressing yourself.. its best to first try to talk to your self in a mirror on how to deal with others. Avoid thinking of the negative things that will upset you.. just try to be what you are.. and you can do it..

You have to assure yourself that you are as good as the next joe. If you don't start believing in yourself, why should anyone else believe in you?

As you become used to living within your own skin, it's gets easier.
