Believe in yourself and become comfortable with the gifts that you have been blessed with in this life. Realize that there will be others who are either better looking or not as attractive as yourself but do not judge anyone for their looks and get to know the person from the inside. Allow others to do the same with you and be yourself and do not pretend to be someone or something that you are not. Be proud of what you have accomplished thus far in your life and set simple goals for yourself and as you surpass this goals seek to reach higher goals. Best of luck and have confidence that you are just as good as the new people that you are talking with.

you have to do two things first, be comfortable in your own skin, and two don't care what people think of you. That's easier said than done. If you wanna be more confident with, you have to interact more with strangers. Give yourself 90 days and try and start 5 conversations a day with complete strangers. Even if its just a "how you doing today?" or "can this line be any longer?". If you do this you will have started 450 conversations with strangers. Then you will start to see that you can talk to people. On the thing about feeling better about how you look. First stop worry about what people think of you because 9 times out of 10, people don't give a crap about what you look like its mostly in you head. but the number 1 thing I can recommend is working out on a regular basis. either cardio or weights or both. it will improve your health, the way you look and how you feel which will in turn give you more confidence. good luck!!

it all starts w/ urself: so, work on your outer appearance in order to work on your inner feelings about yourself.
Appearance: work out, exercise. work on ur body. try on new hairstyles, makeup, find Flattering clothes!
Knowledge: work on ur mind, study harder, read more, learn more, keep an Open mind. speak more w/ different people to learn different views. voice out opinions, learn to discuss and debate. develop ur interests and hobbies. this will help u have more things to talk about, as well as meet people w/ similar interests.
Relationships: as u learn more, and Look better, u will be more confident to Speak more. so u can develop relationships w/ ur family, friends, then friends of friends, eventually stemming out to strangers on the bus or at the library, teachers, employers, etc etc... the less stressed u are about ur looks or ur mind, the more calm and confident u are to talk to Anyone about Anything.
good luck~ it does start w/ ur appearance, because psychologically if u do not feel good about urself, u become more inhibited. but later on u will realize there is SO MUCH to life than just that. confidence goes a LONG way in making friends and finding out more about Yourself.

You have to tell yourself over and over that you are confident. Really you have to fake it until you actually believe it- trust me this works! There are a lot of self-help books on self esteem and confidence. Dr. Phil's "self matters" is a good one. The number one thing is to not worry about what other people think about you- it is your life, you only get one shot and you have to live it for yourself and not for anyone else! Good luck:)

Just do it. Sound too simple? You'll never know your own potential until you take that little leap of faith. Once you do, you will find that you are a valuable person and have a lot to offer. Before you know it, you'll be a much more confident person.

Just do it. Allow me to explain. In elementary school all the way through high school, I stuck to my own little group. I was too shy to talk to others whom I thought to be above me. I thought that most of the people in my school were stuck up snobs who thought they were too cool for little people like me and my friends. Since then, I have realized that, while that may very well have been true for some people, most of them were quite the opposite. Instead of being the self-centered, stuck up show offs that I had assumed them to be, they were just confident, outgoing, and friendly. The only people who thought they were stuck up were people like me who were too stuck in our own little shells to attempt to talk to them. To them, I probably seemed stuck up!!
When I got to college, I met quite a few people that I really clicked with. I felt alot safer being myself in this new, more accepting and open-minded environment, and I have come to find out that people, although not everyone is going to like me, there is ALOT more chance that they will like me if I act like myself instead of being shy and quiet.
