i dont know you but i would say that:
1) you dont have enough faith or belief that you can do anything with your life. And until you get over that everything is going to be impossible
2) you could be suffering from depression. Low confidence and a sheltered self being are signs of depression

I think it's because you underestimate yourself. If you look at nature, animals will give the displays of confidence, so that they won't actually have to fight. The power display is only an illusion, but others buy into it if it's displayed with confidence. In humans, b/c we're not fighting and killing each other everyday, this confidence translates into how we look like we feel. Smiling and friendliness are two sure fire ways to look more confident.
Once you feel more confident, you're treated better; once you're treated better you'll gain more confidence. It's a domino effect and it all starts with being nice ot the ones around you even if it'd just smiling at passers by.
Low self esteem can have two possible roots that are ironically opposites from each other. Kids that grew up in families where they're always told that they're stupid and they'll never amount to anything are one group. the other group are kids that are treated so cautiously that things are done for them. When a child is not "trusted" to do things on his own and make his own mistakes, then he will always have a hard time "trusting" himself to do things well. And that's the definition of low self esteem.
Good news is that it can be overcome, but not one moment sooner than you're willing to admit to yourself that you're not afraid that you won't do well; you're afraid that you'll do great!!
Think about that for a minute. It's true isn't it?

you don't believe you can accomplish anything correctly, perfectly or on time
you were not treated the way you should have been treated as a young child, hence, you having a low confidence level
