I want to know how can I become more confident, there are lots of situations where I feel kind of shy and lost. Cause I usually see my self looking at what other people do and do something similar,how can you work on your leadership skills, be confident at whatever you do without needing approval from others? How can I make my self go out and socialize with people? I have lots of old friends but I hadnt had made any new friends in like 2 years?

Listen to me... Read my lines:
don't give a damn about what others think of you!!!
don't think that you have to be like such and such to be confident, just BE YOURSELF!!!

Try starting random conversations with complete strangers. It's a lot easier than it sounds. When 2 or more people are in the same location/situation they then have a commonality and that's a legitimate basis for conversations. Easiest scenario is when you're waiting in line at a bank/supermarket/etc.
The most memorable, casual conversation I've had was initiated by some guy who was one step higher than me on an escalator. We had just finished watching the same movie. By the time we got off the escalator he casually asked if we could continue our conversation (which was about the movie - he had made some random comment about the actress) at a nearby coffee shop. I declined, but it wasn't an issue cos it was so casual and didn't even exchange names.

You dont know yourself,
unless you are true to yourself, you can never be free from that! My real answer without beating around the bus is let jesus show you who you are, and when you let him, he'll show you something you might like, and everyone else too!, and then you'll make real friends but only if you ask him to show! are you ready for that? trust me there is no other way around it buddy! good luck!

do meditation, you will be more peacefull and energetic and slowly you become more possitive, and your confident will increase. Two Drops of Bach Flower (LARCH) remedy in water of 300 ml in a day for 30 days, will boost you with confidence..

think that you can live without them, you've been raised to always depend to somebody that is why when you are just by yourself you loose confidence. do something else without looking somebody to help you. live on your own.
