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!
This may seem kind of roundabout and like it won't immediately solve your problmes, but really it's one of the best things you can do. It's not necessarily a quick fix, but it will have lifelong results. Good luck!

Set yourself one small achievable task, and accomplish it. It could be as simple as setting the alarm to eight hours after you go to bed, and waking up at that time. Then, add other small projects, and take a moment to savor the sweet success of completing them. If some do not get done, do not admonish yourself, just put them back in the list, and get to them. As you set yourself goals and achieve more and more of them, you are literally taking your self confidence by its ear and dragging it up. It will just happen.
Compare yourself with your own recent past record only. Do not compare yourself with others, as that will make you feel down, and for no real reason. Someone who seems better than you today wasnt at some point in their life. They just learnt to ignore others and focus on what they were doing. You do the same, and before you know it, you will be much better at it than you were as well.
