I really need to know how to gain confidence in myself

The first step to building confidence, in my opinion, is finding out what you truly want. Over the next week, whenever you feel down, depressed, insecure, or frustrated, start making a list of all the things you want. They can be little things, like, "I want a glass of water" or big things, like "I want to ride around the entire world in a hot air baloon." Just write down everything and don't censor yourself. Then after a week, and even throughout the week, look at the list and decide which of those things you can do something about. Then start doing it! Some of the things might require little steps first, but if you really want it, then you can do it. As you start seeing that you can do things that make you happy, your confidence will grow!

First of all, when you wake up each morning--realize how special you really are. You are the "only you" in this entire world.
There has never been another human being exactly like you.
Can you walk?, can you see?, Do you realize what day/time it is?
Tell yourself, "I am somebody special". and mean it.
NEVER, NEVER NEVER hang with anyone who puts you down!
If anyone insults you, makes jokes about your hair, clothes,--just turn and walk away.
Find one thing that you're good at...and learn all you can about it. You will build your confidence from there---then add something else you like. and on and on. I like you-So does
everybody else. Stand up straight and have a wonderful life!

Everyday when you are in the bathroom, look in the mirror and tell yourself I love myself, I am beautiful, I love they way GOD has created me, and I will do for myself. If you say this to yourself everyday you will be fine!
Don't listen to others opinions about you, because it means that they are jealous of you, and wish they had what they lack in themselves!
Once this is done, you will attract the right people to be in your life and nothing will be able to break you. You will be tested, but remember those things that you tell yourself in the mirror every day, and you will be able to brush the haters off your shoulders with no problems.
Good Luck!

You are the one who knows yourself best. Get some notebook paper and on the left side of the page list your good qualities, on the right side, list the things you don't like about yourself or feel you can improve in. Be honest. Now you know what to work on. Simple, right?:)

think about what you have acomplished so far! when i was young i used to always have over confidence. sometimes it was good and sometimes it was bad. always imagine yourself doing your best. for me i was always being the best in sports. and i was in my school. but i imagined i was always. so i never gave up. just think of how good you have done in the past.

Let me put it to you this way, if you have no faith in yourself, how can you expect anyone to believe in you?
