I am a shy girl. I have low self-esteem because of being overweight and ditzy. How do I go about getting more confident in myself and other people?

Here are a few ideas:
Focus on you. When you're in a situation where you feel insecure, make yourself focus on what's gonna make YOU happy.
Smile
Do not dwell on anything you feel that you did wrong. Every night before you go to bed, think of three things that happened that day that you're happy about. They can be very little, simple things. DO IT, it works!
Reguardless of what people say, if you feel like you look good, you'll feel better about yourself. So when you get up in the mornings, do the best you can with your appearance. You do not have to be skinny to look good.
Instead of looking at others and wishing you could be more like that or have their qualities, think of all the good qualities you have. Be happy with yourself.
Find an activity or sport that you like.
I've struggled with insecurity all of my life up until a couple of years ago. I now see that I wasted alot of time worried about what others thought of me. Now I couldn't be happier with myself. You'll get there, have faith. Good luck, I'll keep you in my thoughts =)

Being overweight does not make u any less than other girls. That can be resolved by going on a diet, however being confident comes from within. Usually strong girls are more confident than weak soft ones, so you have to work a little bit on yourself. When you think of yourself remember your good points, your good qualities, for example what you think you have and other girls do not have. Don't think about your weight right away, because you will keep feeling the same way if you do. Just believe in yourself and don't care about what other people think about you, because NOONE is perfect, they may not be overweight but i'm sure they got other issues.

You know something with the world today, and all of its pressures
I think your not the only one who feels this way. So heres what I think why please anyone else, please yourself. Whether your insecuritys come from you weight, and let me tell you even when your skinny, your not perfect, now people will think you need to gain weight. So forget what everyone else thinks, and like you for you. I am also pretty ditzy and I think its cute, so what if people dont like you, because for the few that dont, a million do!

Here are some simple tips that will help you gain confident:
1. You have to learn how to accept compliment, it is good for the moral.

That's something noone can help but you. Confidence comes from within. If you look at yourself as a nobody, people will treat you that way. Not everyone, but some cruel people will. Learn to love yourself, you'll feel a lot better!

Believe in yourself. Believe in God.
Always do your best. Don't worry about what others may think or see things. You'll be just fine.
