Gaining self confidence is difficult especially if those around you don't offer you praise, and instead feel the need to degrade you. First take a quick assesment of whether or not you have people who surround you that are positive about life and you... Everyone needs this!
The second thing that I would recommend is to assess your own life - from your own perspective. Make a list of things about yourself that you think need improvement, and then take steps in your life to improve on those things... One at a time, because an entire list of cons against yourself can only make one feel defeated, if they're not handled individually. With a complete list of "to-do's", you're well on your way to self improvement.
For a short term fix - take a day at the spa, get your hair done, get a massage, but be aware that this is only temporary!
You need to feel self worthiness - or that your worth something to somebody, and only YOU are in control of your own emotions in the long run. Just remember that as someone else is degrading you. YOU have the choice to choose how you will respond, if at all to their comments or actions emotionally.
Good luck! I hope things are looking up already!

The courage to do what and why. Is it worth your investment into it. Courage or self confidence is ability. You get ability by doing. What is the fastest way? Why would you ask that. The most valuable things in life do not come 'fast'. Self sacrifice comes from love. If you have love in you have what you need. If that fails then you are in a condition that needs much more attention than a simple answer.

Help someone else...it will boost the way you feel about yourself.
Self confidence is a feeling. It stems from how secure you feel bout yourself...and helping others with enthusiasm brings an inner glow and strength to a person.

Volunteer. I feel best about myself when I am helping others. For one thing, I cannot complain about the petty problems in my life when in the company of someone who is homeless and hungry. Also, by helping others you will find greater purpose in your life. You'll meet cool people and develop a greater sense of self. Become the person you want to be.

Get hit on. Do something different to yourself (change hair, new outfit, etc) and go out. Meet someone new. That's helped me sooo much lately. I changed my hair and got some new clothes. Maybe I'm not that different, but I feel it. That's what matters. If you feel confident, then it shows. Just don't get cocky. That turns people off. Good luck.

Take a giant dump in the middle of the street. If you can do that you can do anything.

Don't care what others think of you. If they don't like you that's their own problem, not yours. Make yourself happy then others. Always in that order.
