Answer 1

building confidence is something that is not really easy to do and you do it slowly like learning to walk or ride a bike you start out slow my best advice to you would be to gind one thing that your good at and build on that taking pride in all your improvements in that area and thengo for something ina different area and with each new achievement you gain more confidence. as for the social setting start with asmall group of friend 2or3 and go with them to different function like movies or games ect and gradually increase the number of people and events

I used to be the same way actually hun....Confidence comes usually from your surrounding...If you for one are hanging with people that don't respect themselves and are down on themselves,then that negative attitude is going to rub off on you and only makes yourself feel worse...At school if it is a new school or even a old one,that u are extremely fimilar with,you could go up and say...Im so and so and I was wondering maybe if you have a phone number and would like to get to know one another....Umm actually there is so many things you can do,,,If your looking for further answers email me [e-mail]

You need to think highly of yourself but also you have to be yourself. Being yourself is the most important part of life. So just be who you are, You need to love yourself no matter what flaw or problem. You also need to love youself before someone else can really love you.
