I was so confident in the start of the year but now I have 0 confidence. How do I get it back? How do I push out the negitive thoughts that I have about myself?

When you "hear " yourself start negative thinking ... picture that you are removing a cd from the player and replace the cd with "positive thoughts". Just like when you listen to music, it is that easy to decide how you wish to think. Remember, you do have control of your own thoughts.How you feel is a Choice. Confidence is a state of mind. You can choose to feel strong and worthy, because you know that you really are. Be what you desire to be. You already are that. Also, remember that insecurity is the fear of what other people are thinking of you. When in reality people rarely think about others. They are consumed in their own experience , their busy lives. Relax, Life can be fun. If you choose.

To have a good life, your life MUST be in balance. If you work hard, do not forget to play. Do not forget to love. If you have seen something ugly, take the time to see something beautiful. When you find yourself thinking of something negative, immediately replace it with something positive. Go get a picture or post card that you have that can bring a smile to your face. To regain confidence, Take on LITTLE challenges and strive towards success. Failure is only when you do not try at all. Gradually increase the tasks of your challenges. Be true to yourself and others. You will finally see the goodness that others already see.

I would suggest. Start Excersising. Start with an excercise that you really like and not the one that others you know are doing. Make friends. Stay with people with whom you are at your creative best and happy not with people who make you insecure.
And last but not the least the situation that you are in is just a phase. Your determination to succeed by being positive and not thinking about failure would get you out of this phase sooner than you predict.

Insecurity is based on fear, mostly of what we largely consider the unknown. However, if one can identitfy the fear, they have a much better chance at resolution. The key to many seemingly "sticky situations", is to rise above and bloom forth. Concentrate on the positive, set goals and make personal strides towards growth and self acceptance.
Dare to overcome adversity! What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger!

If I said be safe in a safe group I would be remiss. You need to identify the type of people you are with. Don't expect to feel secure in a group of winner-players if you are an independent outsider. You can't compete. How can you identify those of your own kind. You need to learn that the body tells it all. You need to learn the second vocabulary too in order to know that you are left out of things.

maybe you should try a support group. even some sort of therapy, i don't know why you got to this point in your life,and I'm not a Dr.,but it sounds like you need some positive feedback from friends,and start focusing on keeping yourself very busy,with the things that you enjoy,and make you happy in life~

I too struggle with this dilemma. I think some combination of drug therapy, psychotherapy and reading books about developmental psychology can help. You will need eventually to learn how to "parent" yourself. A good psychotherapist can help you with this goal. Good luck!
