I discovered that i have a major self-confidence issue. i can't envision myself being important to anybody, which compounds and is compounded by the fact that i don't have any close friends. it's a vicious cycle that i'm stuck in! any helpful advice?

stop saying "God is the cure"! (not saying it is false, just that it does not help) it does not help at all, and maybe you would be the lucky one He delivers it by if you bothered to put in a real answer.

Stop identifying yourself through everyone else. Learn to accomplish things with your own will. People will follow when they notice how "accomplished" you are. If you dont love yourself people can pick up on this and you will repel them. Do things to better your personality. Take a cooking class, join a group or do something constructive.

Self -confidence is being sure of yourself in the areas where you are now lacking self confidence. Be yourself and be friendly, help people where you can.Do what you know to do that is right, get that down real good. Take on a project around your house every so often and see it thru till its done. You should feel some fulillment for a job well done and more prepared more the next project.But the point is that self confidence comes from self experience and learning to trust yourself. Whatever leads people to possess value of themselves is began by that first step to try,by putting forth the effort and staying at it till you are successful enough that very experience is a confidence builder.Friends will come, just takes time, Realize that God created you and he is a God of goodness and therefore the good he put in you , it will come out as you mature. Besides most teenagers have the same problem of lack of confidence, just think positive and be happy and be yourself.Take care of yourself. bob L.

A good therapist can certainly do more good for you in far less time. Also, reading self-help books, joining a club or group with your same interests, body-building, healthy foods and vitamins to feel energetic, and spiritual well being. These are the many avenues open to you if you choose. I would pursue all of them in some way. That way you will become more well-rounded as a person. Learning a musical instrument is very good for self-esteem. Good luck on your journey of self-discovery...because that is what life is telling you to do for yourself at this point in you time on earth!

Yes, you need to wake up every morning and look about your surroundings and the world about you and find every precious thing and say, I am blessed. Look in the mirror and see the beauty of yourself and tell yourself, I am pretty and I do love myself. I am a good person and I will go forward every day being the best person that I can be. Always look for positives in your daily life. Good luck.

Self confidence issues generally stem from being selfish. No really it does! If you volunteer a few hours a week somewhere, you will feel so needed and appreciated! Also, you stop thinkg about yourself so much when you consider other's needs!
So, that is my advice, volunteer.

God is the cure. Get born again. God will build you into the man he designed you to be.
